Hudson valley has a very good dental hygiene program and it's only two years. The nursing program is great even though there is always a waiting list, its worth the waiting. If you are interested in technology this is the college you want to apply for. Hudson valley also has a very good early childhood education program that is transferable to majority of the colleges around the area.

Jusst keep ur head up and try to stay fouse

I felt like it defiantly wasn't a waste of money but you have to do the work in order to really succeed here. They dont hold your hand and you really have to navigate your path if you want to graduate there in 2 years. Word to the wise dont go into individual studies until u know exactly what you want because they dont know how to really guide you when it comes to picking class. I began to think of it this way as my friends spent so much money on a four year diploma i was getting an associates in two years and then a bachelors in another 2 and then hopefully a masters so in a way community college kinda splits up the amount of time it really takes to graduate with a bachelors degree.

Guys, you get what you put in, so give college your all! In my first semester I was able to earn a 4.0 and I did NOT do it alone! HVCC has a fantastic Writing Resource center located in the Marvin Library on campus. The staff are willing to help with everything from writing your first college paper to writing your 100th if need be. On several occasions I found myself stuck when it came to a college writing assignment. Not only did they help me through it, but they walked me through the research, writing, and revising process step by step. We worked for hours each day until it was time to turn the paper in. When I finally received my first term paper back I was shocked when I saw a 100% on the paper. I could not have done it without the staff. To my amazement, a member of the library staff approached me at the end of the semester and asked out I did on the paper! Thats dedication. Also, make sure to take advantage of the “Ask a Librarian” page located on the HVCC library webpage. Link: https://www.hvcc.edu/lrc/ask.html You have access to a library 24/7 even on vacation! It is set up just like an AIM chat or texting would be...INSTANT! If a HVCC librarian is not available it transfers you to another library somewhere else! Great for those of you who procrastinate (which is all of us).
