Hostos Community College at 500 Grand Concourse, Bronx, New York.

Get cozy because I have a lot to say about this joint. *ahem* Where is -50 stars option?

I can't find people to relate to because they're all grown people in their 30s and 40s and plenty with baby carriages. I'm 18, and I'm the youngest in all of my classes so when someone asks me my age and I tell them, they just ask me in shock, "you're 18 in college!?" Yeah, and you're 40 in college? I understand their sacrifice to study, but come on! 18 and 40 is a HUGE age gap. I want to talk about getting a job and forming a career and they talk about paying the bills and taking care of the kids. I'd probably enjoy going to class everyday if there were people that are my age or close to it. Everyone is either black, white, or latino and that tells me that there's no racial diversity. The clubs are biased; the Free to Be Me club (LGBT) (they argued with me because I didn't support them and didn't want to sign their petition), the Muslim club and the Video Game club and have been approved to keep club doors closed (which is prohibited) and to write on the walls respectively. I have nothing against these clubs, this is just from what I've witnessed. The college's system is really messy and offices are scattered instead of being in one building all together! The admission process was HORRIBLE. I had to wait the entire summer to get my ID because I supposedly didn't have all of my financial information. It's ridiculous and the staff vaguely explains what you have to do. "Oh, go here." "Oh, do this." And then what!? It's a place to get lost and the place looks like a jail if it weren't for the decorative flags and weird artwork. It makes the place feel like a prison. ALSO, use RateMyProfessor to choose a good professor because 98% of the time you'll get a bad professor, like it or not. I got an English 110 professor last semester and could never write my essays right because of his stupid and unnecessary formulas. I'm a Christian for starters, and he told the class that praying wouldn't help us pass the class. That's discrimanation against me and every other religious person in that class! I failed that class for supposedly not turning in enough work, and it's infuriating. Most professors just straight up hate their jobs; they never bother to explain what you have to do to pass the class and contact their superiors to call you out for, and I quote, "...missed an opportunity to rewrite the essay and raise the grade." And, "WARNING: We have been told that you have been absent from (class)." Speak to me directly if you are going to basically get me kicked out of my classes. I chose to go to Hostos because it was near my house, not because it's "a good college." It's a terrible college and I would not recommend it. I learned my lesson.
