I was a Running Start student at Highline Community College for two years. I really enjoyed my time there. Most of the teachers are great and know their stuff really well. The academics are challenging but you got this! The tutoring center is great for those who need help with their homework. I would definitely recommend checking the resources out on campus. The students are super friendly and the overall atmosphere is good on campus. However, parking at Highline sucks and the book prices are outrageous.
I really love Highline! I decided to do the Running Start program, and that was one of the wisest decisions I made in my entire life. Highline is a great school; it is very diverse, the teachers are difficult but awesome , and the students are respectful and kind. Overall it is an amazing college. One thing I would change though is adding more parking; there never seems to be any parking spaces and it takes a long time to park. Other than that, it is a great college.
Honestly, it's a lot of hard work and excessive studying when it comes to obtaining my Biology major. I'm taking more chemistry classes than actual biology courses because there are prerequisites required in order to move on to certain science classes. Plus, there's also the fact in having to remember--at least on a general scale--anything learned from all the science classes because all the knowledge transfers over to the next class in each series and helps for a better understanding of other notions being discussed in differing realms of science courses. It's totally worth all the hard work though!
