The worst college ever, extremely money hungry and will break you down completely. And mess up ur mental health bad

Hocking is a giant waste of time & money. General education classes are a waste of money here. The professor's have randomly quit in the middle of the semester on multiple occasions. They do not value the student education, they want to cash in on the tuition and do the bare minimum. Teachers refuse to teach, aside from a few great professors. The same professors will tell you that it is a terrible school. Unluckily for me, it's the only school in a 3 hour radius that has the program I am interested in, or I would have definitely chosen differently for myself. I truly wish there was something I could do to combat the absurd amount of cow-shit this school has put me through but I signed up for this cash grab I guess. read more

What a scam. I talk to the college, trying to set up classes for their wastewater program, and I lose my job not a month later. Try to cancel classes, and they tell me I was a DAY late, and now I owe them a FULL SEMESTER'S TUITION because they claim I was a day late- which I can't disprove, because they took away the college email I used to tell them to cancel my semester. Total scam. All I can say is I'm glad i didn't go to these scammers fresh out of high school, but now I'm screwed all the same. Save your cash and go to an *actual* college. This place is a total scam. read more

Hocking college DO NOT GO HERE THIS SCHOOL IS EXTREMELY CORRUP !!! Firstly the campus is not safe to be at. multiple students had their cars broken into, things stolen. personally my vehicle had been damaged in a fight that was in the parking lot and the "HC police" couldn't identify the individuals involved. There was an incident where a drug addicted individual had broken into one of the administration buildings and stayed for a period of time. There's been random power outages and multiple times where water was unsafe to use or where no hot water was available. My personal experience with this college was not good. Over winter break I decided I wanted to switch my major. I was told there was a form I had to fill out before I could switch. I do not live anywhere near the school so it was not convenient for me to go fill out said form in person over break, in turn I waited until I came back to school. the first day back I went and got my form filled out. When it came time to reschedule myself for new classes (for my new major) I was told by the woman in the office (NR Building) that I was to wait a week to get the deans signature. During that week I hadn't attended any class due to switching. After waiting about 4 days in (the Friday of that week) I decided to check on if my major had been switched. The woman in the office didn't recognize me at all. She tells me that I needed to go to registrar so I did just that. After getting over there I was informed my major was switched on that Monday (the day i was told to wait on) and that I had waited too long to switch classes. Instead of trying to help the school shifted all the blame onto me for "procrastinating too long" regardless of the fact I was told to wait. As a result they told me I was now financially responsible for all the classes (the ones I had never even went to) for the entire semester. The only solution they could offer was for me to pay out of pocket for said classes then schedule for new ones next 8 weeks or to double major (pay even more money) then drop the major I didn't want, the second 8 weeks. I've since withdrawn from hocking college. I hope that this can sway anyone who may be unsure of where to go. Do not choose Hocking College because I can promise this is not the place for you. This school doesn't care about student safety or wellness at all. It's all a big cash grab and they're just waiting to screw you out of big money. read more

This College is the most unprofessional and under prepared school I've ever been inside of. Please do not waste your time or money here.

Great school to go to for your major but the gen ed classes are so bad here I dropped every single one and took them somewhere else. None of my friends have been successful in the gen ed classes at this school and you can blame that on the teachers here who genuinely do not try to teach. I went 6 weeks in my 8 week class without a response from my human bio teacher. All of the work is tedious and you dont actually learn anything. If you go to Hocking college take gen ed at OU or Columbus State I promise you will have more success than you would here and you will save your money. read more

Worst College Ever don't waste your money. While teachers take emergency leave during your courses put you work online and you receive no help. Then put you in a suspension on your Fafsa because you didn't make your GPA average. But want you to pay 3,000 dollars out if pocket . While having Covid read more

Hocking College is inexpensive. Once you get there, you'll find out why. It sucks. Enrollment day: closest thing to structure was, after a speech, those that have not taken the placement test (my group) went to the testing center. Everyone else went to their departments. (Testers went to their departments later in the day.) After that, it was a laissez faire experience. I get down there. The department I'm in (Culinary) is not up to what I expect for it's reputation. Also, I end up having a roommate when they consistently said that I would not, only for them to tell me after the fact that the hall director had the final list, not the housing department. This is not the satisfaction I expected, so I left the school. I go to do that (wifi was down in the dorm, so I had to go to the campus to do that). The registrar lady's cheery emotions dropped as soon as I told her what I was doing. Filled out the form, and went to financial aid. She was already not in a good mood, and the fact that I was damaging her paycheck clearly made it worse. Go back to registrar, and someone else (the original lady was busy) clearly becomes disconcerted, but at least fakes service with a smile. All in all, save your money. The low cost of Hocking College reflects the quality treatment you will get. Edit: Missing parenthesis added read more

I am enrolled at Hocking College now, in the last 2 weeks I have been jumped, and had my truck broken into on two occasions. And campus "police" has not even really blinked an eye. So I guess you get what you paid for at Hocking College. read more

This a a great place to earn a degree. If it weren't for Hocking, I would not be where I am today. It gave me the foundation needed to become successful in life at an affordable price. read more

I graduated from the RN program at Hocking. This program fully prepared me to be able to do my job. I highly recommend this schools nursing programs. read more

I don't know what Patrick C.'s problem is, other than the fact he was going to Hocking for culinary arts. It's a great small school out in the woods. Great little town, with larger towns nearby. If you're going to Hocking to be a prissy little chef you're looking in the wrong place. Hocking is a great school for natural resources and other careers involving being outdoors. Just because Patrick C. didn't do his research and didn't like being around fun rednecks at a very outdoor oriented school doesn't mean you won't either! Great place! read more
