The worst counselors I have ever experienced. Made me take a semester of classes that I didn't need…read moreand then went on to tell me I'm a semester behind because of said classes. And then informed me that the program I'm looking to be in is only offered in the spring so since I was a semester behind I was actually an entire year behind and wouldn't be able to join the program until the next year. So instead of getting my associates in 2 years I'd be getting it in 3. But I was told as long as I take all of the winter and fall classes I needed I should be able to get into the program the following spring. He told me I just need to make sure I get a spot in the safety class they're going to offer in the fall for my program. Because if I have to take it in the winter I might not get a seat in the program because it's very competitive. So now it's fall registration time and they aren't even offering the class in the fall. So now i just have to wait and see how winter registration for next year goes if ill even get into the program next year or not. Which would have me at this school for 4 years. How stupid that I go to this school for an associates and it's going to take me the same time as if I just went to a university and got a bachelor's. And it would've looked better coming from a university as well. These counselors are a joke and will make you think they're helping you when really they're setting you back monumentally.

I was working towards my Master's in finance but opted to switch to another school. I even had a prof that made you request to see the grades results of your tests. Why would you need to attempt to conceal your grading if you are not being dishonest. When I requested to see my graded exam, for the feedback on some of the questions he simply wrote "incorrect". Given this was a math class it should be very easy to provide feedback as to what was incorrect. I didn't have a single professor who came anywhere near justifying the amount of money I was shelling out for tuition. When I withdrew from the course and the school owed me a partial refund of my tuition it was like pulling teeth to get my money back. I had to call and email three times and each time I was told it takes a week for them to process refunds from the time there is a positive balance and asked to wait another week (this was several weeks after the positive balance occurred). I had to pester them to actually have them request for the appropriate department to process the refund.

A couple weeks after I turned 17, I decided to forgo my senior year at Trenton High School, and…read moreinstead I spent my senior year in the US Navy avionics program learning how to become an electronics technician in the naval aviation field. After my four years up, I went straight to Henry Ford College and began studying Physics, Psychology, Philosophy and Music, eventually earning a degree in Liberal Arts. Because all of the teachers there are top notch and highly recruited by many other prestigious schools, HFC administrators do a fantastic job of curating these world-class level professors whom share a passion for their subject matter and for teaching that subject matter to everyone willing to learn. My all-time favorite teacher, from all of my years in public school, and my time in Naval schools and even my time at UofM AA included, was the incomparable Peter Putnam at HFC. Mr. Putnam normally taught any and every English class that he could, and likewise I took every single class that I could with Mr. Putnam, who had a massive impact on my life and I owe him a tremendous debt of gratitude. Had it not been for my phenomenal education at HFC, I would not have earned an academic scholarship to the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, which would further my education and expanded my sense of who I was and more importantly, who I could become. The common latin phrase: "Scientia potentia est" which means "Knowledge Is Power" is a maxim that I have witnessed proven in my life, myriad times, and HFC helped send me on that path and I will be forever indebted to institution and my specific teachers. Dr. Azar was a treasure as well, and he also altered the direction of my life, again, for tremendous benefit to me, and eventually for my children as well. There are many different teachers & professors there that I could espouse, yet HFC is the organization that recruits these special teachers and deserves credit for creating a phenomenal center for learning. I cannot overstate what a superlative institution HFC is. They were the driving factor that helped me earn an Academic scholarship at University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, and not only will I be forever grateful, but there were many classes at HFC that were superior to UofM. I bleed Maize & Blue, through & through, but HFC made that dream possible. While I was at HFC, I felt that I should give back somehow, and they quickly set me up with their Special Needs department and began giving me as many struggling students that they could and I learned that I love tutoring and that I am exceptional at doing it. Again, I have to thank HFC, for revealing my character. I simply cannot recommend HFC highly enough, anyone who is even remotely considering it, just sign up and begin your world class education. Knowledge is power

I went to this school in the early 80's. My experience was not good. I had a few very bad…read moreexperiences with the professors here. In one case I was taking an art class and apparently the teacher did not like the direction of my drawing, so instead of telling me what I should do, he took my paper and pencil away from me and started doing it himself. After another bad experience in another art class I basically quit and never really did art again after that, which is sad because I really enjoyed it. Then in psychology class that I took, I had a teacher who decided that instead of teaching us about psychology, he was going to teach us about the anatomy of the brain. We spent the entire class learning about the anatomy of the brain and then towards the end of the semester, he announced that instead of a final exam, there would be a class and if we showed up we passed and we didn't I guess we did not pass. Well on the last day of class the teacher did not show up. So I guess the school just did some kind of average of our previous test scores for that class. Then in a sociology class I had a teacher who kept insisting that he was going to politicize us. We also had an older senior classmate in this class which I personally found refreshing, but the teacher treated this classmate terribly and I felt really bad for him. Thankfully I think that schools have progressed beyond this and now treat older students much better than that. I'm sure this school has improved over the years, so I wouldn't necessarily consider my review to be very relevant for today, however, I'm adding it as a cautionary tale for people who may accept improper teaching methods and not question it or decide to find a better teacher or class. Also, I've been holding this in a long time and I still think about it from time to time and how my future could have been different if my experience had been better or if I found a better way to handle it. Sadly, the school counselors during this time period were not very helpful either.

At this time they are being remodeled and repaired.  A college will begin operation in the main building shortly and in some cases is already in operation. Over the next two years an elementary school with attached high school will start to operate in one of the buildings.  At this time of year the grounds look sparse and bare.  I am looking forward to the spring and will return to look at it at that time. The woodwork in the building is still intact.  There are many religious artifacts and statues of great beauty.  The classrooms are large and have plenty of natural lighting. The telecommunications system is due to be updated. The people that work here are professional, interested, intelligent and kind.  I was especially happy to tour their beautiful library.  I will need to return when the sun is out and the windows are all open.  It is going to be a beautiful teaching college.
