Student/Alumnus Reviews of Schools for This Career and State

Hinds Community College • Raymond, MS
Studying Networking And Information Tech. (completion in 2007)

10/13/2011

"I do not approve of everything the school spends their money on and believe it would be better spent on equipment and new labs. I do believe that the IT teachers are some of the best around."

Ratings are on a 1-10 scale

CharacteristicRatingComment
Would Recommend?maybeDepending on what the student wanted to achieve I would recommend Hinds or another school. If the student valued a good setting with good teachers, Hinds. If the student valued new buildings and labs, another school would be best.
Program Reputation6The school is not very well known for their courses. Their teachers are excellent though.
Program Quality5Cisco based CCNA classes were required to complete the degree. The school could have done more when it came to providing equipment and up to date labs.
Instruction9The teacher was excellent and wanted to see all students succeed. He went above and beyond to ensure that we had what we needed.
How Difficult8CCNA preparation is extremely difficult. The lab simulations were not as bad as the actually book prep for the certification.
Hands-On vs. BookishThe curriculum was very hands-on when setting up networks in the lab. The current curriculum is slightly less hands-on depending on the teacher.
Schedule Flexibility5Summer offers can be rather slim when picking classes. The school offers many online and evening classes though.
Academic Facilities5Computer centers for research are offered, their is a well stocked library. The computer labs need upgrading and to be redone and reorganized.
Social Life6School spirit is decent with many sports and students attending. The school tries to do extra things such as cook outs to help students socialize. The current enrollment does not seem interested though.
Placement Services7The school does not offer job placement. The teachers keep their eyes open for any open jobs in the area and let students know.
Alumni Network1The school provides no alumni network. There is no further alumni support provided.
Review your current or past school and help others make better career decisions.
