Hillsborough Community College (HCC) is exactly what I needed and I’m glad I made the decision to begin my studies there, before transferring to a 4-year university.
The school offers the usual amenities of any college including: housing, meal plans, extracurriculars, service and interest clubs, as well as a handful of study abroad programs! There is also an honors program, where students who meet specific qualifications are allowed to enroll in “honors only” courses! All at lower costs and with smaller class sizes, than at a typical 4-year university.
To top it all off: HCC also GUARANTEES admission to all public four-year colleges in FL, upon completion of your AA/AS degree! Seriously, you can’t not make it into university if you start here first!
I would definitely recommend it to anyone as a start towards their higher academic career.

My personal experience with Hillsborough Community College can be summed up in three words: engaging, stimulating, and rewarding. Hillsborough Community College's professors genuinely care about each student's success! Professors are hands-on and dedicated to their students, this allows for a captivating classroom setting. This community college is large enough to offer all students a dynamic & diverse college experience.
Academically challenging! Many of the professors have PhDs and taught at four-year colleges and universities. Lots of course options, and interesting people to meet. Some HCC students have even transfered to ELITE universities like Yale, Duke, and Wellesley.
