    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.

    Great school, people, and professors! Really nice campus there's alot of renovations currently being done at the Dale Mabry campus in Tampa. They have a new health sciences bldg. Lots of resources you can choose from, advisors and financial aid are knowledgeable and friendly and help you out. There's a library with computers for all your intended needs, also quiet place to study or work on an assignment.
    I absolutely love Hillsborough Community College! I feel supported by great professors and have access to what I need to pursue a wonderful education. Not to mention, all of the factually are extremely friendly as well as helpful.
