Hudson County Community College

"Elevator is always broken, making getting to class an accessibility nightmare."

"I took only one class at the jersey city location but I don't like it as much as I do the North Hudson campus which is where I am taking all my classes. The professors Are very helpful and knowledgeable, they try to help you as much as they can. The staff is very nice, and the building is very clean. Just make sure to know what you have to do towards your degree if you are planning on transferring since the counselors wont help as much to be honest."

"HCCC is an excellent school. This campus is the main campus, so it's the largest. Classes are in separate buildings. I took Calculus 1 and Calculus 2 in the math building (about 2 blocks away from the main building). I went to a 4-year college and only took classes here over the summer to transfer credits and save money. Security is great, you must have a HCCC ID to enter any building. The professors here are superb as well. Specifically, my Calculus professor is a great educator!"

"This place is an joke!!!! STAY AWAY!!! Most reviews are based on grades And etc. (Disclaimer: grades are still pending) Everyone here is clueless!!! Finacial aid doesn’t know what there doing!! Most of the time, you’re talking to students instead of professionals in this area. Professors don’t not encourage students and there is not a great support system. This school is profit focused and not student focused. They care about making money instead of putting the students needs first. I came here to complete prerequisites for a post-undergrad program, so I don’t qualify for financial aid grants. When the semester first started in January, I was told that I qualified for $1,600 in the loan that there is no interest, which was perfect! Then 2 days later I get a call from their main financial aid office in JC saying I no longer qualify! Like what the heck?!! 2 days?! My financial situation did not change drastically in 48hours! Then they changed the story around, stating I now only qualify for $1,000 in the loan with interest. I submitted all the right paper work in and was told that everything was in process and my request for this aid was accepted. Now its April( almost the end of the semester) and instead of paying my remaining $515 (including the aid) they are charging me $1506.00 (without the aid)!! First of all, I was never notified of this change. If it wasn’t that i logged into the portal, I would of thought everything was fine (as i was told) Not a single email or phone call!!! Second of all, my loan all of a sudden was not approved with no explanation. Now, they continue to give me the run around! Long story short, I WILL NOT BE COMING BACK TO THIS SCHOOL. TRY OTHER ALTERNATIVES BEFORE ATTENDING HERE!! DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMENDED!!!!!!"

"Watch out if you are placed in basic classes like English and Math or both. You guys better pass them. Note. basic classes are leveled so English has 0 1 2 3 then college 101prep meaning with lab. Math Has 2 basic math and basic algebra. Meaning is not a college course and Will not be doing anything with your major until you pass it. If you don’t get out of basic courses you are wasting your time and money. By the way basic course get expired. My math class got expired after 2 years. If you have a learning disability make sure there service work for you. Tutoring in this school for me at the North Hudson one hour is not enough and a few times the lady was a no show or was late so 1 hour wasted . Make sure financial aid is paying for your classes and go ask in person and ask when. Keep an eye on your schedule before you register make sure payments are payed and always make sure you have financial money to cover it because if not they will get dropped at the last minute. They will not tell you. follow up with ur school emails. Oh and most importantly financial aid has a maximum credit limit of 30 credits covering basic classes. If you go over the limit you will have to pay for it."
