I recently had the opportunity to attend Houston Community College and overall, I had a positive experience. I really liked the diverse range of courses and programs offered at the college, as well as the flexibility in class schedules. The professors were knowledgeable and approachable, and I felt like I was able to get a quality education.
One thing I would like to see change at Houston Community College is the availability of resources for students. I found that there were limited resources for academic support and career guidance, and I think the college could benefit from investing more in these areas to better support students in their academic and professional journeys.
Overall, I had a good experience at Houston Community College and would recommend it to others looking to further their education. With some improvements in resources and support for students, I believe the college could become an even better place for learning and growth.

I believe that the school is good for those who wish to achieve a college certificate or Associates or even to simply get credits and a better GPA before they transfer. However, it's so important that new and upcoming students, especially young freshman, research their professors before choosing them. I got stuck with some really rude professors while others were amazing and made learning enjoyable. It's a good school, as someone who learns online mostly, I never felt that my learning was being compromised.
