Great atmosphere! Lots to do. Rock climbing, pool, basketball, and a really nice gym which is all free for students. there is also a laundry mat in both dorms and is free to use on both sides. If you sign up to work 10.5 hours a week they will take off one thousand dollars off each semester. You can choose on where you want to work and who you want to work with and it works around your schedule. If you have family visiting they can use everything as well for free all you have to do is sign up for the times. They have different events scheduled on the weekends. You can buy a meal card and use it to get your breakfast and lunch and dinner or whatever it is you want or need. The one I got is fourteen meals a week and I also brought snacks with me. In the dorms we have mini fridges with freezers so we can keep some stuff in there. Our dorms also come with a microwave and a bed and a desk and a big armoire where you can put your clothing and store items in it.
Hocking College is a fantastic natural resource college where key information to be the best at your future NR job is hammered into you. This school is well-known for its hands-on dedicated approach to teaching Natural resources so much so that most NR students get jobs right out of college. The professors who care about what they teach are the most inspiring part of the experience they make me excited for my future. To be honest I would change a decent about the school, like how they are taking away funding from natural resource programs and putting it into sports even though this is not at all and will never be a sports-centered school. It is really disappointing to see a fundamentally Natural resource-based school turn against what they are best at and known for I hope it doesn't change for the worst.
if your going here for anything Natural Resources then you'll be in pretty good hands. If you attend this school for anything else you're very much doomed. Doomed might be a bit harsh of a word but you won't be very well off. My favorite aspects about this school is how hands on the learning is. Nearly every class i've taken for my Wildlife management major has been done in the field learning hands on and thats been extremely beneficial. I also love how cheap the school is, if your just looking to get a quick two year degree especially in anything Natural Resources related then i would consider Hocking college because its easily one of the cheapest colleges out there. For the core classes such as English Composition and College Algebra, they're a little on the easy side and I'm not sure that those class credits can be transferred to four year institutions. All in all this school is a decent bang for your buck and can help you get a quick two year degree and out the door to work.
