Quite Bright
I go to the York campus of HACC. At first, it seems like a nice school. Nice people, and the inside of buildings are clean, although quite boring. It feels more like an accounting firm than a school. The York campus has literally no sports or interesting extracurricular activities, the teachers are nice but are bad at communicating, and are not able to teach very well. If you are not able to gain enough points in two semesters, you are put on academic suspension, meaning you can't take classes, and your financial aid is withheld. There is no help in deciding on teachers for classes. No one knows anything about most of the teachers, due to the nature of the college, the teachers are only hired per-semester. Some teachers are very strict, and some are very lenient, but none of them told me anything about what I needed to do to keep my grade up, or whether or not the assignments counted for points or not.(My MATH051 teacher came from Ukraine, and she went WAY too fast for the class. We started with around 30 people, and eventually went down to around 12.) The computer software is very out-of-date, due to Windows being essentially reinstalled every time the computer restarts. This hurts students trying to take computers classes, as the browsers and operating system are/is out-of-date. HACC York is the newest campus for HACC, which may be part of the reason why it is so poor, but this is unacceptable. I paid money to be taught, so TEACH ME.I went to Central York High School. The teachers at HACC pale in comparison to CYHS's, and the same can be said about the administration. If a public school is so much better than a college that the two can't even be compared, there is something wrong.

HACC cost me a lot of money. The human services degree program is a dead end! HACC's business policies are unethical and poor at best.

Not so bright
The instructors in the Nursing program do not teach! I mean that literally, it is self-taught! They are mean, arrogant, and just plain rude!
