    I love HCC. They're beyond the best as far as community colleges. There's so much opportunity at this campus. The trained staff of advisors go out of their way to ensure that you are on the right track, without wasting money or class time. They offer a wonderful duel program with Towson University to earn your RN to BSN easier. The campus is overfilled with all ages of students. And their success rate is fantastic! I am currently taken pre-nursing studies and love it! They also offer tons of campus support and activities to mingle with peers and Professors.

    The experience I have had thus far at HCC has been truly rewarding. The faculty at this institution are comprised of truly remarkable teachers, who not only possess the knowledge for their areas of expertise but the compassion of spirit and dedication to their job that is commendable indeed. For many individuals, as for myself, the two-year Associate degree program at instititons such as HCC merely serve as a waystation on the path to greater academic goals. That characterization, however, does a total disservice to the high value knowledge and experience that a student gains by attending places such as HCC. My time on campus has proven the merits of this point, and to recognize the meaningful place HCC holds for me is to salute a school of higher learning that is exemplary in all ways.
    Harford Community College is a great place to start if your planning on attending college right after high school. Personally, after high school I didn't want to leave home so I decided to get a part time job and attend HCC part time as well. Its been great! The learning center has flexible hours and the professors are passionate about what they are teaching. The library is full of resources to help with any projects/presentations.
