Some teachers are excellent, and some are not. Some of the teachers who barely speak English can be so hard to understand, student grades suffer dramatically. There's no football team here. The college isn't the best. If you're looking for a decent community college, skip Harper and go elsewhere.

I really regret going here. If I could give the whole college a grade, I'd give it a giant F. Many of the buildings look warn and tired. Parking's limited. There's always construction on campus or nearby. Some of the teachers plagiarize and think it's ok if they do it, but don't think students should do it. Some professors are overly anal when it comes to grading and rules while others are more relaxed about things. Some teachers barely speak any English and get angry if you ask them to repeat something because you can't understand them.

I love Harper! When I was in high school, I didn't have the best grades in the world, and I did terrible on the ACT. I knew I would have to go Harper. It was the best decision I've ever made! I saved sooo much money by attending Harper. While most of my friends were 30k in debt I had no student loans! The faculty is always willing to stay before / after classes to help or tutor you. The professors also always have office hours. It's nice that your teachers learn your name and give you personal attention. I'd never want to be just a number at a large university. Since I've attended Harper I've gotten almost all As, but I definitely worked hard to earn them. Now the schools I'm applying to are offering me big chunks of change because of my GPA. I would never have received anything if I went to a university straight from high school. I love it here! I wish it was a four year institution.
