Hastings College is an awesome school, full of faculty who will go to great lengths to help you with your academic success. HC is located in a great town with fun local events and decent food. HC Student Life makes sure there are at least 1-2 events going on every weekend. Tons of opportunities for travel abroad and research. Love the HC 2.0 idea.

Hastings College is its own community. The departments I am usually in are like family to me. The professors truly care about you, know you, and want you to succeed. You get to know others in your field really well and really fast - enhancing your experience and knowledge. I wouldn't trade my college experience for anything.

Let's just say that transferring out was the best decision I've ever made. I have no nice words except for that the athletic facilities are beautiful.

Can't wait to transfer

Came to college here in Hastings with high hopes but, it has not met my expectations. If you are not involved in music or athletics you have virtually no chance to make any friends. There are few clubs and the ones that they do have, are very inactive. I am currently looking to transfer and find a much better college.
