They made so many updates to HCC. I couldnt believe it as I was walking around. They hosted a E-sports gaming tournament. It was run very well. Love what they have done with HCC

I was please with the help that i was needed. very happy with my decision that i made. will continue. to better my self. education is very important...

Community College where I was attending. Very good school.

This place is the worst. I had the worst experience with an advisor who tried to advise me in the lobby of the building. She basically asked me why I was there.... Then tried to advise me to go to every other department so she would have to do the bare minimum??? Security guards at every door, not kind ones either they definitely dont make it a warm and friendly campus. Seems like theyre trying to protect themselves from more that just Covid. The financial aid office is a mess, and the enrollment process was ugh.... They basically didnt know how to add my Transcript credit aside from them sort of losing my Transcripts which the head guy admitted, and looked at me asking if I had any unofficial ones on me...?. The 3 stars are for their professors, they were lovely. The school is trash though go to NCC instead especially if you value professionalism and can do advisement.

Its okay for a community college,im not a fan of the hounded covid work but i do like it here

Great learning experience , awesome faculty, the school is kept clean , great programs to to learn from such as nursing and surgical tech and very affordable. The academy Dean is amazing and the president always respond to your request

A fantastic place to leap yourself into the world of higher education at a reasonable price, though I do not believe in tuition for community colleges, the prices here are more than reasonable.

Awesome!!! Wonderful staff too.

School has a lot of excellent services, teachers, and although there was a new building added for education expansion, the faculty staff is awful. From the Financial aid, Admission, to the security guards, Im not sure who is more unprofessional. It seems like their willingness to help students is often offered more to day time students than night session attenders. Ive lost count on how many times I would call either of the Dept, specially during the early weeks of Aug for assistance during registration season, and all I get is an attitude, sarcasm, and helpless solutions from the staff. So much for enthusiasm from the community school staff for brighter futures. I hope this issue gets fixed so that the future candidates wont ever have to deal with all this nonsense.

Very affordable. More opportunities for scholarships now. Professors are excellent. In the middle of a renovation right now and school is looking beautiful. Nice computer labs with some Macs.

I was very shocked to see how great this college is, I had low expectations for a community college. Housatonic turns out to have the most art out of any community college in the USA. I specifically enjoyed having 27 inch screen mac desktop screen to work with in graphic design. The teachers are very human and helpful. The only complaint I have is with regular tutors, theyre not too good. But the intensive course tutors are great.

I personally didnt graduate, but I studied for almost three years there and it was pretty great. Especially in the higher level science and math courses, the teachers know youre paying good money to be there and they know youre an adult. They dont baby you and they respect you. Ive had many difficulties, but my hard work was matched by an engaged and earnest professor willing to help me along the way. I could rattle on and on but itll never fully grasp just how pleasant of an experience my time there was. I hope the new building means they could offer more courses and maybe even Bachelors degrees in the future.

School is great it self staff wise, but there a lot of issues going on with the school and they just dont care to fix them, elevators are always out of service and it has been 3 weeks already that the cat way from the parking lot to beacon hall has been closed only making students go all the down and go back up again only delaying students to their classes. Their focus is all on that new building that wont do much for the students.

Went here for my associates. Nice open campus after the addition of the second building . They are in the process of doing an addition for a third building due to such high enrollment . Professors are great get a lot of adjunct ones from surrounding four year colleges for a fraction of the price youd pay there .

Housatonic community college Is one of the Best Colleges I have attended. Academically, and socially, this college is well rounded. HCC has Great teachers, that honestly want to see their students succeed.i can only tell you this because this was me, a student who was extremely stressed about the material and course work. Enrolling into HCC from a pervious college, I did not have the funds for school. when I applied for a HCC scholarship I was more than fortunate To have Received grant.YES from School. I have totally made the correct choice to attend HCC. I was nervous at first, but it’s the realization Of coming out of your comfort zone, to achieve your goals and aspirations. I am truly blessed and more than thankful to attend Housatonic community college. Thanks for providing me a nice environment, and more important great food from the great chefs in the kitchen!

Housatonic is a good school, however there are things that do need to be worked on. It is very difficult to speak to someone over the phone. Even when you give up and leave a message, I have NEVER received a call back. Because of this, i have transfered over to Norwalk Community college , where it is much easier for me to get a hold of staff. I am however pleased with the upcoming Fall 2015 scheduling for online and evening classes.

Great place to get stayed on your education, very affordable with lots of financial aid options.

Community College is a great way to get ahead. Housatonic is a great way to waste time on the phone not being able to contact anyone, a great way to sit in class and learn nothing while still achieving fantastic grades. Most workers at Housatonic do not care and take their time for any request made. The teachers unfortunately are the only ones who care but to the point of almost passing everyone because they feel bad for everyone there. The credits are barely merit worthy; therefore you will have loads of trouble trying to transfer credits to any other college you plan on attending. (unless the college is affiliated with Housatonic) The students are friendly but keep your guard up because most students feed off the hard working and smart ones. Housatonic is in need of major revamping and I would recommend attending any other community college or local university for your own academic career and for your mental health.

I went to Housatonic right out of high school. From fall 2012 to winter 2015, I attended. The professors were professional and helpful. I could email or call or see them during their office hours if I needed to speak (I prefer in person). All the professors I had were passionate and knowledgeable.I transferred from the science program to the fine arts program. The school and my advisor were helpful in this transition. (Personally, every process/interaction was quick and easy) It was a great choice for me. I found the fine arts department to be a great group of people. Very dedicated and all successful in their fields. They didnt just become teachers, they had/have careers and are extremely talented. A little quirky, but what artist isnt? They really helped me improve my art and gave me advice on selling my art.Aside from the actual classes, my favorite part was the fantastic cafeteria. Honestly, I still go back!I still wander around downtown sometimes - thats where HCC is. Its not idyllic but its not as tough as the streets of Manhattan. Theres a few oddballs but in 2 years of night courses I never felt unsafe.Theres good restaurants and a few shops, concerts in the summer.I graduated and transferred to an art college, almost all of my credits transferred. Im at a smaller college now, to get my BA, and I miss the convenience of being in a downtown area, near a park and print shop, and really miss the cafe !

Community College price but an high quality level of stufg to learn. With a job and other responsibilities it isnt a simple 2yr school for me. Though I love arriving to campus and learned so much over the years. Most of campus is very spacious. Though can be cramped when a new semester starts, can always find a place to sit and get stuff done. Provides a motivating atmosphere to work and succeed.

Graduated in 14. Awesome professors and will save you thousands of dollars. Give the fighting Hawks at chance.

As far as community colleges go its a decent school and a really great campus. The staff is nice and helpful.

The school is a lie the principle had played me and made me waste money on my transcript for him to supposedly loose it he better reimburse my money back

Love the college looks nice and great teaching

Good Afternoon everyone,My name is Norma. I applied here and this was my only choice of school that I wanted to go to, I got accepted but thats the only thing Housatonic has done for me. As appropriate as Im trying to be about their school, their staff sucks. Nobody picks up the phone and if someone does, shes usually a rude person. Their FA people suck. I apologize but thats the only word to describe them. But, hey, this is a school with an 8% graduation rate.Anyways, Ive been having trouble with them successfully submitting my financial aid, my mom cant work due to being disabled and I recently got a job. Ive been in the same process since November of 2014. They said my moms social security is incorrect, and we retyped it twice, all times which never needed to be corrected. The Financial Aid said theyd email me within 6 weeks and I didnt get anything. I went there recently and now they said 8 weeks. If you got a dollar back from taxes, you could pretty much pay your whole tuition; according to them.If theres one person there that you need to talk to, her name is Karen Touch. Shes helped me throughout the way and Im so grateful for her. She is from the CONTACC EOC and she doesnt work for the school, it just happens to be where she works AT.Sorry for the rant, but I dont want anyone else wasting their time here like I did.

Great app the thing can eve happened to me!!! Glad I go biking everyday

It is hard to get in contact with someone who works in the school. I have been calling every department at the school for days, and not once have they picked up their phone. The customer service department needs major improvement.

Sorry, not a good experience with the presidents point of view.

Lets learn......

Wish they had real people on the phone.

Where are the final grades for the Spring semester 16. 10 days after the last final exam?????
