Hudson County Community College

Having been none too moved by the class based education (however limited,) I'd received from a competitor some years back, I dare not compare this more popular rival. I lack the experience of its facility's offering. So why am I reviewing this? Simply because, I was parked outside. *Building looks reasonably clean and inviting.

Do not attend this school they are scam artist, I attended this school for one semester simply because I was being charged so much money with no explanation of why. I was given a book by advising that listed all the prices of the school, when I called the bursar office the women was saying a completely different price then what was listed in the book I was given. When I would try to talk about the fees she would get on the phone talk real fast cut you off every second and still give no legitimate explanation as to why you where being charged all this money, just would keep on repeating that I lived out of county or talk about a bill that you where not inquiring about. Also the professors try to fail you with again no legitimate reason, out of the one semester I took both the professors I had where terrible. I had to cc the department to have my grade corrected, I was accused of using ai, and had to drop one of my courses from receiving an unjustified 0 on an assignment.

First, I would like you to consider the type of people you hire and take their values into account. This happened around 9:45 a.m in JSQ location.I was waiting my turn to have my car parked, and they asked me for my ID, which is fine, I showed it to them, and they asked me to leave. And the reason? The reason was that I didn't have a sticker! They asked me for my ID but not for a sticker! The man didn't even dare to say, "Show me your schedule," or even comment, "We'll keep your car until you come back with the sticker." They didn't say anything to me at all, and they didn't say anything to my face. All I said was that I was late for class. The worst part? The worst part was having to leave that parking lot ALONE! The street is very narrow, and backing out of that parking lot is difficult. I didn't even receive instructions or help to get out of there! I hit my car, and what did they do or say to me? NOTHING! I left there totally angry, crying because at some point, maybe it was my fault, but no one deserves to be treated the way they treated me.As I said, maybe it's my fault for not having a sticker! But you know how hard it is to find parking outside! How was I supposed to move my car, find parking, and come back? It was impossible since I had already looked for parking. And as I said at the beginning, what angers me the most are the VALUES, the way those people who worked this morning treated me. It would have cost them nothing to wait for me to come back for the sticker and leave my car there for 10 minutes, it would have cost them nothing to give me instructions on how to leave the parking lot, they did absolutely nothing! I am an immigrant student who, unfortunately, has been paying for college for over a year, and situations like this simply make me want to leave. I emphasize values because I work in customer service. I have never treated people this way, and I never will, even if I have a thousand people on line. ALWAYS TREAT PEOPLE WELL! And I don't want to think that just because I'm Latina, they treated me that way.

I decided to apply here after highschool. I came here in person for orientation day after taking a bus AND a train. Only to meet a staff member who eventually told me it was better if I went to my own town's community college.(My town doesn't even have a community college). I was so excited and looking forward to attending only to feel unwanted. My mental health was already a bit low and this helped it get worse. It took me a bit more than a year, to finally feel better and decide to continue education. I don't regret not attending this place and am currently checking out another school.

This location has some of the rudest staff and faculty I’ve ever encountered. From the security guards, to a few (not all) of the lunch staff. Many have poor attitudes, especially if you have questions or need assistance. They make you feel like a burden simply for asking. While most of the professors and classes are great, the school needs to improve how they hire and manage their faculty. it took months for a complaint I filed to be addressed, after I had to reach out to everyone in HR just to get my case heard and be dismissed in the end. It's clear that the Journal Square campus doesn’t prioritize or care much for their students. If you want to be treated with respect, I’d recommend the North Hudson campus instead.

Good luck trying to find a quiet place. Libraries are suppose to be quiet and students come in super loud like they at a frat party to gossip about the latest things. Ridiculous! Especially at Journal square location. The level 1 rules (Whispering) needs to be enforced. Or kick the loud ones out. Even the staff lack understanding that concept. Personally classes need to at least meet twice a week not once especially the late start classes. Oh good luck finding a decent parking space, too much constructions in the area. LIBRARIES IS NOT A PLACE FOR GOSSIP Y'ALL OR TO BE OBNOXIOUSLY LOUD. WHISPER VOICES ONLY!!!!!! One 3 credit class is above 600 bucks! too much for a community college.

The security at this place is a joke…holding grudges and talking to grown adults any type of way and with manager Kurt needs to be fired…has bad hygiene and numerous report show him not adhering to proper food service procedures
