great school

I went to SJSU before I chose to go back to school to study plant science.
In the first semester, Hartnell provided me with opportunities to apply for 2 internships, a training program, and community reminders for events.
Going to a smaller community college is worth it in my opinion. You get more 1 on 1 attention to talk about academic career

Hartnell College was my second home. As a ESL student I had a lot of support from my teaches and counselor. There are too many programs that support you in many ways. Thank you hartnell College.

Terrible administrative management. Financial aid is never on time, announcements for events are rarely made,counselling is misleading, required classes are always full at registration. In the middle of my certification the remainder of my required classes were dropped from the schedule.

Not the best education, not the best teachers, not the best support
