I have mixed feelings about HCCC. The actual college programs and teachers are good but the students who attend this college are mostly jocks or drunks who wish to get drunk every night. I found the college students to be very cliquey, rude and closed-minded. If you do end up at HCCC DO NOT live in the student housing across from the college unless you are willing to party every night. If you wish to focus on your studies this is not the college housing for you. I have had several problems with this housing and the campus safety has been no help to me. I will not be returning to HCCC next semester. HCCC is best for students who live in the area and will live at home.

The school is pretty from the outside but on the inside it's very bland! ugly, and old looking, aside from the modern and nice looking addition to the bookstore and library. The school is very secretive and never lets students know when free activities are going down or they won't mention that you have to pay! Every activity that I have tried to go to they get you with that 5$ entrance fee. There are clubs however the 3 that I joined to nothing but sit around gossip and eat lunch. Students and Teachers at this school are very interested in food and free stuff. The school will do anything to keep as much of your financial aid as they can. Also don't live on campus unless you want to get stabbed, raped, held at gun point, beat up, or want to join a gang. The school doesn't show any pictures of what it looks like with snow but I assure you there is a foot of snow at least from october-mid april, also our school likes to put kids in danger and never gives a snow day.

I am a second year student, about to graduate in may.

school- the school's look is very nice, but don't let the looks fool you. The teachers are very unhelpful, and can never be found when you need them... or go to their office hours. They are very unprofessional and only care about going to lunch, instead of doing their job. The students are completely oblivious to the real world, and always focused on partying. Most of them never show up to class, b/c they are too hung over from the party they went it, and end up dropping out.

location- besides wal-mart, there is nothing to do. The nearest mall is 30 mins away! if you're looking for a town with great shops, herkimer aint it. also, it snows like you wouldn't believe. we just got an inch of snow in april! it's also very rare to get a snow day, even with a foot of snow on the ground.

dorms- both on campus, and off campus dorms suck. the only difference is that off campus is safer. shootings, and attempted rapes have happened on campus.

social actives - unless you love to smoke and drink 24/7, you will be bored. The school really has nothing to off the students social wise, b/c it's never open.

do you like slacking off?
do you love getting bad grades?
do you desperately want to go away for school, just to get out from under your parents wing?
if you answered 'yes' to any of these questions... herkimer is the place for you. just don't expect to succeed in life// anywhere besides herkimer.

I took one online course at HCCC. I already have two masters' degrees, and am a very good student (3.7 GPA), and never in my life have I seen such lazy assholes running a school. Do yourself a favor and don't waste your money, because once they get your money, they don't care at all. Prof. Carvin was arrogant and condescending, and posted his arrogance right on the course page, and not one supervisor had the balls to say one word to him.
