This way, students can compare the relative salary strength of a specific major at Hillsborough Community College to the same major at other schools. A school's overall score by level is based on the school's by-program performance weighted by student enrollment in each program.

Great school to transition to a university. This is my experience I can attest to. I graduated with my associate's degree at HCC. This was a very good and smooth experience. I would recommend this school not only because of my experience, but because of other student's shared opinions I have been privy to as well.
The school was a horrible fit for me. As I was in a math and science heavy major I found it very disappointing that there were only hybrid classes available and no option for traditional classes. The added prerequisite requirements for specific classes was absurd and increased the amount of time it took to graduate.
Yes, I used it to transfer to a 4 year State university with an accelerated master program.
Find a school that works best for you. You are paying them for a service, don't let them make you think otherwise.
