Hillsborough Community College - SouthShore Campus

I am a student here and every staff member I met here has been extremely helpful and caring. This is a school where the teachers genuinely care about every child. The Student Government is also very kind and supportive. Great school overall!

One pro before starting my cons. The campus is beautiful and clean. Only three classes left before being able to apply for a allied health program I am pursuing. Currently on Deans list and all of sudden at the last minute, one of the classes was dropped by the school due to low enrollment which messed me up from being able to apply for the program I am pursuing. Just really disappointed and decided to simply sit out to take the classes in the Spring since I now have no choice but to wait another year before I can apply for the program. Not to mention, they are horrible with your financial aid and will find any loop hole to keep you from having it. Take screenshots of your balance, what amounts were applied and any refunds. They will adjust your refund owed even when your classes haven't changed. Pay attention to all documents and keep record. Also, its pointless to call for any information about your account. You will only get the answers you need by physically going to the campus.

I actually love the classes and professors I have had. Like most on here, I agree you CAN NOT call and get a person. I just left the book store got home and realized that for 1 subject I did not get the book (nor was I charged for it). I am trying to call and ask if there is a book for this class before I go back out and NO operator and no book store option . HORRIBLE trying to get through to a real person. After I had pressed the options that were best then pressed 0 for operator the call was disconnected because it was not a valid option.🙄

As a student and Veteran, I’m extremely disappointed that there’s no phone number for the Veteran Affairs Office. Instead of having a point of contact available, you are forced to either drive to a campus or arrange an appointment to speak with a representative.

The classes are ok the professors are usually helpful but you can only enjoy it if you can get past all the bs with the front office employees. If you plan on doing anything that involves change with paperwork, financial aid, or classes make sure you give yourself a year and a half to get it done along with making sure you're able to drop everything you have in order to be able to sit at the office and wait for the workers to tell you something they could have called you about like they promised they would. Within the last 2 months I have been there 9 times to fix the same exact problem that they said would be done the first time.

Honestly don’t go here , this school is horrible, they make you jump through hoops to reach them , but when they need your money they are so quick to blow your phone up and everything, on top of that the people who work in the offices are extremely lazy, unprofessional, and rude at that.

Nice campus, but the advisors SUCK. Trying to get useful information from them is pointless, it seems they don't take their jobs seriously and want to do the least amount of work with you as possible. The teachers are great here there are the few that aren't so great but most of the teachers TRY to make you succeed and want to help you.

Worst school ever !!! They don’t help at all don’t care about their students and staff are horrible and very rude! Pls explore other options !

its a small campus and where its like everyone knows each other. Most of the staff are pretty helpful and nice. Will say though the its a 50/50 when it comes to professors. You have some amazing professors and some not so amazing. People that I've known for years there tell me to stay away from the Biological science classes apparently there is placed the bad apples.

Small campus, clean premises but it appears no improvements were made for covid19 protection. Pull handle doors, no sanitizers on walls near to doors, no disposable paper towels in bathroom that I checked, so after hands are washed, still have to push door handle. Looks like they either need vision or $$$.
