Holyoke Community College has wonderful academics that I have been able to apply to my social/work life. With me being a Holyoke resident and the campus just a 5 minute walk away, they are still able to find the flexibility to work with your schedule and accommodate you accordingly. All of the advisors I have met with have been extremely helpful, they constantly check in with you and motivate you because they truly want you to succeed. The only thing I wouldn’t mind seeing a change in is their website and software/database as a whole for students who are only enrolled in online classes. I do not find their “online services” and “Moodle” to be very user friendly. Too many steps just for me to pay my important student bill by it’s deadline. Other than that, Holyoke Community College gets two thumbs up from me. I can’t wait to see what my future with the college has in store!
I think that Holyoke Community Is a great school! Its affordable, accessible and the academics a pretty well taught! I feel like what i'm learning now will be a great addition into my future life and I'm doing it at a place where I feel good and learn a lot! HCC is super accommodating to my needs and really makes me feel like i'm more than just a student.
While HCC was a cost effective alternative to going to a 4 year program right out of highschool. The humanities and Social science departments are incredibly far left. Even by national standards and taking into acount the areas liberal political culture, the pedagogy is radical. If you're a Conservative student chances are, you're going to feel like an outsider here. Critical theory, postmodernism, intersectionality and even tinges of marxist thought are the primary lenses by which most course in these fields are taught. View point diversity is almost non existent at HCC.
