I loved my time at Holyoke Community College. The professors are amazing, and they really take the time to get to know you and make sure that you are successful in their class. I really enjoyed the smaller class sizes, and the activities that occur outside of the classroom provide great opportunities to get out of your comfort zone, expand on interests, and meet new people!
Since we are in the middle of pandemic due to the coronavirus, I have been taking my classes online my first year at Holyoke Community College, I just finished my first semester and I am starting spring semester on January 25th. The professors always engaged us students to have fun in class. The amount of assignments we receive is doable and the professors are patient and respectful with us if we have a question or problem with our assignments. Online schooling has been hard for many students at HCC and around the country but the staff at HCC do their best to make learning here easier even if we are not seeing each other in person in a classroom setting.
When I initially return to Holyoke community college I had math classes that I needed to take in order to exceed college level algebra, I took the classes online and found the experience to be difficult at first as the program was brand new to me - but the professor was responsive and helpful, a pleasant course overall.
Another class that was taken online was introduction to health careers, approved helpful to have this course online as it required a lot of research and presentations.
During my last semester of school the campus was shut down due to COVID-19; all courses were moved online, and I completed anatomy and physiology 2 (bio 218) in an online format.
This was difficult as it is a lab science, and we were unable to use the materials within the laboratory setting.
Overall the course moved along and everything worked out.
