Love this institution
Overall 4.5
I am a current student in the paralegal program. Everyone here is friendly and the staff goes out their way to help you. I love going to my classes, and feel my professors are knowledgeable. We even have a magistrate as our professor for domestic relations law, how cool is that!? All the law classes I have taken so far have been great!

I would say that his is the best college to go to if you are looking for criminal justice or CSI. It is outstanding. Everything is hands on and you really form a relationship with your professors because of how small classes are. The professors were actually in the field that they teach about and will only teach you what you need to know.

Best college for CJ in the state and a lot of opportunities to intern and learn. Professors are excellent and are knowledgeable in their fieldwork. Great place to learn and make great friends.

Hilbert is a great small college, just outside of Buffalo with many opportunities. It still needs a lot of work as far as facilities for athletics, clubs, and just to get more enrollment for students. Education is great here, small class sizes, and the one on one attention with professors. We just need more opportunities for majors, and renovations

Small school environment - professors really get to know you and seem to care about your progress.

Ask for more improves in the dorm halls, especially St. Joes with is ready to fall apart. But what do we get? Oh, 1 loft bed for each room ONLY on the 2nd floor to make more space... the main problem in those dorms is the the location of the outlets, but sure give students exactly what they didn't want. New Beds would be nice. unbelievable

There's literally a large building at the front of the school that they should buy and turn into dorms because it got fit everyone in just doubles and have more single rooms. Plus everyone could potentially be located in 1 area because of how big it is but they'll and Grace will do anything but fix their terrible dorms rooms

This school is more focused on building a football field for a team that only started in the fall of 2023 and was terrible. What they should really do is focus on building MORE housing and SINGLE rooms instead of forcing everyone to be crowded into extremely small spaces to accommodate for all the people they are bringing in on scholarships

There's so much wrong with this place.The wifi doesn't work half the time. There's nothing to do on or off campus. It feels like an overpriced community college with less to offer. Online courses are a joke, I didn't learn anything in them .I want my money and time back. Transferred after a year.

After my first year I regret sticking around with Hilbert and not transferring to another college. The dorms and other facilities are very run down and many of the students can be seen as "clicky". The location and small classes are great but it can be hard to engage and make friends since Hilbert is so small. There are little to no activities too.
