I really like Highline. Highline strives to celebrate diversity among their students. Highline is the most diverse community college in Washington and the faculty encourages everyone to share their differences. I feel safe at Highline and there are many people I can reach out to for help and resources. Many people to build connections with and even learn from! Highline is very inviting to all student. Highline also has lots of different organizations and groups, great for first generation college students, hobbies, and people of color! A very fun school to attend and this would be the community college I would recommend to any friend considering to continue their education.
Highline College has a lot of resources available to students, you can tell they truly want their students to succeed beyond school! A lot of student jobs available & very diverse campus & staff.
My overall experience with Highline is pretty good so far. It offers a wide range of degrees for us to choose from, including web development which is the field I'm studying in. I love how not only the campus is very racially diverse but it's also very LGBTQ+ friendly. As an Asian-American bisexual non-binary person myself, it make me feel comfortable being around other people who'd treat me equally for what I am. But even though I like the friendly atmosphere and the many opportunities offered, what I would like to see change is a decrease in cost. Don't get me wrong, while Highline is considered one of a few colleges that has the lowest cost for tuition fees in my home state of Washington, what I'm concerned the most about is how it's still a bit expensive since it costs around $1600 for in-state tuition each quarter for full-time students and I personally wish the cost would be lower to around $1200 instead. But other than that, I have a great time at Highline as a student.
