Howard Community College

Superb. HCC is one of the best community college in Maryland. They offer many degree programs, short courses and language ESL classes.

HCC allowed me a space to believe in myself again. I dealt with a lot of shame from failing my first try at college in my turbulent years after high school. They believed in me, and l even received my first scholarship. Even though it was a small amount, it helped me to move past my shame and fear. The instructors and administrative staff were happy and helpful. I didn't feel like I annoyed them with my questions or concerns. I truly love this school, and I feel genuinely sad to leave a place that allowed me to grow so much.

LOVE HCC…but if you plan on speaking to someone over the phone, don’t waste your time. NO ONE EVER ANSWERS!!!! I connected with a wonderful young lady on the non credited/workforce line and she did her best to help me. Shout out to Selena!

I'm an HCC student, so I feel like I have credibility to share my experience. HCC is a great college with tons of cool places, great buildings, events and programs. For example, RCF building is top-notch. You should see it for yourself if you don't believe me. Also, a program, I'm not it yet, called Howard Pride is about empowering black students. Mr. Lamb makes sure you are safe in his office! One last thing I want to say is about the food pantry. They have hours, but when they are open, it looks like heaven inside. They also have a meal kit for you, so you can go home and cook food to your liking. There are more things I want to add, but this would take an hour to read if I did. HCC is a great college to get credits in general.

HCC opened their doors for the 2025 Maryland HANMADANG, and the facilities were outstanding! Beautiful facilities, great parking, and easy to find!

HCC is the worst institution on planet earth. Students who are the paying clients are belittled by professors when asked questions in lab. Lab are scheduled for 3 hours, only taught for 90 minutes. It silly . Deans and associate deans dont even have PHDs.

It saddens me to leave this review. HCC used to be my happy place. Until they destroyed my dream. I was denied my ADA accommodations, I was bullied unmercifully by a professor, and the administration did nothing. I was handed off from one administrator to another in an attempt to fix the damage caused in an attempt to run out the clock so I couldn't pursue legal action. It's the worst academic institution in the state. Kathleen Heatherington's administration was on point, and they cared about the students, all the students. This current administration is a sham! No one accepts responsibility for their inactions, the title 9 deputy is a joke she did not a single thing she said she would do to help me. I'm a senior citizen on 100% disability I wanted to learn a skill that would allow me to return to work. I don't want to be on disability. They took the government money for my education fraudulently. I've got over 90 credits, I'm a Phi Theta Kappa honor student and I have no degree. This has gotten me no where...don't enroll here! It's a nightmare institution with frauds in administrative positions and Instructors that bully disabled students (Especially the allied health programs...STAY AWAY!)
