It is what you make it. Freshman year was meh, but when I got involved in some of the clubs, my opinions changed. There are lots of social events on campus (at least two a month.) The professors are great as are the rest of the faculty and staff. The college is always working to make the campus better for students and listens to what students want.

HACC York Campus is a great place to be. The staff is wonderful and the janitors are the kindest people I've ever met. The students are fairly social as well.

The professors only care about themselves! They are clicky with one another, gossip about other students with faculty and peers and the dean does not care about students. Only her paycheck! This is coming from a student with a 4.0.

Yikes. Sketchy neighborhood across the street. Couldn't even find it my first day. Gravel parking lot. People smoke next to the no smoking signs. Did I mention the bathrooms?? No wonder its so cheap... A plus is that most professors are cool. Staff is pretty good for the most part. Students can be a little out there. I can't wait to leave.
