The first year I started school in 2008, I went to BMCC. Now that Im continuing my education, I wish I went to Hostos first off. I believe I wouldn't have stopped going to school. Although I can't take back past mistakes, I'm extremely happy I'm a student at HOSTOS. Graduation January 2019 )

I absolutely recommend this school! If you study high school in another country, this school will make you feel like home. I received a lot of help from teachers and staff. ASAP is a really useful program you should take advantage of, it will bump your grades and make you feel comfortable and secure. HALC has many friendly tutors. I LOVE IT!

The worst school ever. The staff and teachers are extremely rude. The staff know nothing about the school, education, or their job. The teachers don't teach or care about the students. Worst college experience ever. Barely an clubs and the food sucks. The location isn't great. Do not attend this school ever.

Please do research before enrolling into this school. I choose this school because it close to home, bad Idea. This school does not offer nearly enough online classes or weekend classes. If you work or have children this is not the right school for you. I've had many issues with this school in my 1st semester.

The school is not that great, the staff and faculty are not helpful at all and in some cases don't show any respect to student. Not professional at all!
Overall 1.5
Great financial aid but it is really bad for your mental health. The teachers don’t seem to really care and the students have a bad attitude all the time. I can’t blame them because the school kinda just sucks.
Overall 1.5
This college is not people who work or have children friendly. It's hard to find classes that work with your schedule. There needs to be a lot more online classes and weekend classes. I went to this college because it was close to my home, bad idea. Wish I researched this college before enrolling. I've had a lot of issues in the 1st semester.
