Hartnell College is a fun and friendly school for students that want to understand what success feels like. At Hartnell College the teachers work with every student to help them become successful and well prepared for their future goals. Hartnell College offers a variety of programs to help any student in any type of struggle become successful.
Tips for prospective students
I recommend this college for students coming out of high school to feel the atmosphere and understand of why school is important in our future.
Academic Rigor
Every student that attends this college will leave with an educational plan and a goal to look toward to.
Dorm Life
Theirs not much of a dorm life. It's more of a community college. If you live around the area you are better off attending this college.
Food and Dining
They have a variety of food to choose from in the cafeteria. At times clubs have gatherings and try to raise money by making BBQ for students and staff to enjoy.
What to do for fun
Use the computers at anytime, full access. Play sports on their big field. Go to role plays or talent shows they have.
Bang for the buck
The school offers a lot of great programs from financial aid to scholarships to get the best help a student will need in order for them to be successful.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Something really interesting we have in our campus is our new Planetarium. Also Hartnell is divided into different locations throughout our area code for those that can't travel far, Hartnell has decided to come to your hometown.
Great for these types of students
This school is great for students coming out of high school. Students that haven't gotten a high school diploma. Students that a returning back to college. This school is for everyone out their.
Clubs and Activities
Many types of clubs. Lots of flyers around campus to catch your interest. Even students interrupt the classes to get you to join and explain what it is about.
Greek Life
A ton of classes to choose from. Teachers show students what the Greek life feels like, teach them how to think, read, and use Greek language in the real world.
Campus Safety
Campus safety always walks around and makes sure everything is good. I've never seen any type of violence.

in the fields of Psychology and Political Sciences.
Am enjoying being here
I am involved in the Student Senate who is working hard to make your college experience cheaper! Booklenders-instead of buying a book for $150, you can rent one for $10 per semester!
Bang for the buck
Since it is community college, Hartnell is much more cost efficient and the teaching is great.
Tips for prospective students
Make sure you push to get in the classes you want. Just because registration says it's full doesn't mean thats true. =]
