Holmes Community College Reviews

Flag Review - Rating:
- I have been here for a semester, and I will never come back. This school is poorly ran and expensive (for a junior college). The books are the problem, the school doesn't own the books, so they don't rent them for a good price, and the bookstore has at least a 50% markup on every book that can be bought online cheaper. They do this, of course, to cater to the people with book vouchers... if you have a book voucher and the government is paying for your books, you don't care to spend the extra $100 because you aren't paying for it! However for other students that do not receive financial aid, be prepare the pay the price of tuition all over again in books and fees. The dorms are NASTY, the only good ones are Webster and Choctaw. The classes themselves are easy (depending on what kind of student you are). The Goodman Campus (where I attend) is in the middle of NOWHERE! You're talking a 30 minute minimum drive to civilization! Horrible placement.
