Student Reviews and Ratings for Howard Community College
Overall Rating:
Overall, a pretty nice experience so far. Definitely some issues with parking, but the classes and professors have been on point.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™Some departments are hit and miss in terms of quality of teaching (Math Department is the first that comes to mind).The food court is also hit and miss. The Pizza is great, but it is usually your main option after 2pm- unless you want a sandwich.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™Avoid the bookstore and find your items by other means. I ordered something today via the app to only have my ordered cancelled because it wasn't in stock (which shouldn't be advertised if it isn't in stock). I then went directly went to the campus bookstore, stood in front of the item to confirm it was in stock, then did a pick up order through the app. When I get to the desk, item in hand, they couldn't find my order (I placed it through the app because the campus bookstore was way overpriced). So I sit in the parking garage for over 4 hours waiting for the pick up email (why something as simple as taking something off the rack takes more than 5 seconds is beyond me) and then I get an email stating the item is out of stock which is obviously not true because I had it in hand (a hoodie, which there were several of) - the campus wants to overcharge you on purpose so they will cancel your order. Thanks HCC. You're great.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™Let me just say that I graduated from HCC recently and I miss it already. This school is so amazing! Everything is made simple for the students and the staff are awesome! HCC seriously tops any school in MD.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™One of the best community college landscapes. Almost looks like an actual university despite its size. Parking can be an issue sometimes, so be prepared to walk some ways to your destination.
