Hillsborough Community College - SouthShore Campus — Local services in Riverview

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.

I'm a current student here. I'm on the verge of transferring and I couldn't be more excited to get out. It AMAZES me how inefficient a school can be. I've taken classes at other branches of HCC, and even they aren't as bad as SouthShore. I don't care if it's closer to you, I don't care if it has that one class you need. They will ruin your patience, they will probably hold you from graduating several times, and they may even drop all your classes because they said you didn't pay.... and then refund the money that they said you didn't pay? Also, I'm 99% positive that they pay the people in the advising office to be as dull and unhelpful as possible.

All in all, do something online, or drive a little out of your way to Brandon or Ybor. Or go to USF. I don't care. Just...

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...
