My experience at Hostos Community College at first was a challenge because I was a new person there, I didn't know any friends, and I felt lose my first few months at the college. Over time, I was able to make new friends by talking to people in the class and participating in events in the school like Leadership Academy. A lot of professors are willing to work with the students that are reaching out to them for example if you have any family issue they are willing to help you and they will tell you any resource that they know about on or outside of the campus. It really good school even knowing that it is a community college and a lot of community college get a bad name, However, I believe Hostos is a great school.
Review CUNY Hostos Community College
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HOSTOS. If it wasn't for Hostos Community College, I wouldn't be here today. My first three years of college was rough and my grades weren't the best. I just wasn't in the right state of mind or right environment. (I went out of state). I came back to New York and applied to Hostos. I was so afraid that I wouldn't get accepted and my dreams would be crushed. Little did I know that Hostos would give me the chance to get back on my feet and start fresh. Get the grades that I truly deserved. I worked hard. And through all that hard work, I was able to graduate with my first degree in Liberal Arts & Science. I really love Hostos. I will never forget the opportunity they gave me to redeem myself.
Hostos is an amazing college! Professors are super helpful.. Campus is clean and well maintained. The campus is so diverse it's amazing.
