    Am learning a lot

    If you take bare-minimum classes, that is exactly what you will get out of your experience here. If you take challenging classes, you will be taking classes with other serious students who are looking to learn, and not just to get a degree.
    Am enjoying being here

    At times, this school seemed like another year of high school, especially in my General Education courses. However, I found I most enjoyed being at HCCC when I was around other students who were more goal-oriented. Also, HCCC has a beautiful campus; I enjoy looking at the town from the top of the hill and hiking on their trails.
    Bang for the buck

    HCCC is a SUNY school, so credits easily transfer throughout the SUNY system. Also, HCCC has a ton of transfer agreements with other 4-year schools in central New York.
    Tips for prospective students

    Show up to class! Especially in general courses, attendance is sometimes part of your grade. If you are absent, not only do you miss what's happening in class, but you lose more of your grade by not being there!

    Also, keep in touch with your professors. Let them know ahead of time if you will be late, absent, or have to leave early. No promises, but usually they appreciate the gesture and will work with you so you won't fall behind.
    Great for these types of students

    This school is great for someone who doesn't know what they want to do... yet. By taking classes in what I was interested in, I met other students who were interested in the same things as me. That's how I decided what I want to: a friend in my class was taking the class because it was required for her major.

    Food and Dining

    Herkimer has a very nice dining area.
    Bang for the buck

    This is a great option for students who want to save some money on college. Take your basic courses at a community college and you will only have to pay big bucks for 2 years instead of 4.

    I attend full time online and am graduating in May 2012 with an AAS in Paralegal. I am very impressed with the program and its professors. I have been very successful and have maintained a 3.85 GPA.

    Bang for the buck

    It is rather inexpensive and offers a wide variety of degree programs and course to be completed online, saving the student money towards their 4 year degree, by attending a community college for the first two years.
    Great for these types of students

    Online learning is great for stay at home or working parents and students that have schedules that may not be able to adjust for regular classroom courses.
