Houston Community College System

Today was the first day of the weekend class, our teacher didnt show up. There was no administration personnel on site to help us, we found someone in a janitor looking closet he told us he wanted to finish his coffee first and then came out and asked us why we were being so rude to him, there were 25 of us looking for our teacher who is responsible for teaching a six hour class every saturday. The phone number we found was for a completely different instructor. There are maps in the building but they outline a completely different building across the street without actually telling you that. we came at 7 55 for an 8 oclock class waited till 9 for the teacher to show up. …seriouslyyyyyyy? still no news from the teacher

I think im going to transfer to Lonestar…
Sad.

This review is NOT related to the academia at HCC. It is related to their litigation team that handles «accidents» on their property. A few days before Christmas 2011, my husband and I drove through their parking lot to get to Home Depot. In doing so, we ran over a parking sign that was sawed off but was not completely removed from the asphalt parking lot. It blew out our tire on my husband’s Chevy Tahoe. Long story short, we fought for many months — into a year — HCC refused to pay for our damages. A lot of unanswered letters, emails and pleas to settle. HCC still, to this day, won’t admit any wrong in this matter. I hate to think what would happen if someone got seriously injured or killed on their property… it is a shame when a well known establishment, like HCC, can’t do what is right. Shame on you HCC!

I had a fantastic experience at HCC T&C (Town and Country), and I would recommend it to anyone. I was on my own from eighteen on, and I was working full time while I attended HCC — so, I was there for night school.
Most professors were great, and very understanding about emergencies. Like us, they also worked all day and were at HCC during the evening.
Many classes, and many profs I had at HCC were better than what I paid much, much for at the four year institution from which I ended up getting my BA. Most of the instructors I had at HCC were also better than the tenured profs at four year institutions. Kudos, and thanks for all the hard work — you all do a great job!
If I ever move back to Houston (not likely), I would take a class here again, even though I no longer need it for a degree. I just actually enjoyed being there.
To get to five stars, they’d need to ensure that all professors speak clear English. Their math and science profs are notorious for their failure to communicate efficiently.
