Around Town

The last time I went to the campus to finish enrollment I had the chance to talk to my instructor and he let me know of lots of different things going on around the campus that I will absolutely look for come the spring semester!

luckily this college is right by everything and fun surrounds the campus. directly across from the housing is the tampa buccanerrs stadium so if sunday nfl football is on your mind (you probably hear the game going on). sports are offered at hcc such as baseball and basketball. it's fun to get out of the house and go enjoy some sunshine and relax while watching sports. the college is right around the corner from the malls, and the beach is only a 20 minute drive or so. there are lots of places to exercise and let your mind unwind after an exhausting week of finals!

There are many events going on and free food every other week. With the free food they have little activities as well like: making wax molds of your hands, or decorating sandals, making chocolate lolipops, key chains made of wood with a design of your choice burned into it. They had a little fair ground a couple of times with a booths with free food and coffee. They play movies some times. On the Dale Maybry campus, there people always playing Smash/board games/video games in the student lounge.

HCC, located in Tampa, Florida, is home to Lightning Hockey, Tampa Bay Buccaneers football, and Tampa Bay Rays baseball. We have a top notch aquarium in Tampa and the home of Winter, the dolphin, is at the aquarium in nearby Clearwater. Tampa has Busch Gardens. Invest in a two-hour drive to Orlando for Walt Disney World and Universal Studios. Tampa has a top notch Art Museum and the Salvidor Dali Museum is under an hour drive in St. Petersburg. The Tampa Bay area has The Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center with touring Broadway plays as well as two other theaters in the area. The plethora of activity provides for multiple opportunities for entertainment as well as community service and job opportunities.

i really don't participate in the activities on campus, but there are a lot of fun places to go that are located near all the campuses For example, game time is about three to four streets down from the Ybor campus.

Depends on which campus you attend. Ybor campus is near a lot of night life and clubs, Southshore is near a local Drive-In, so it just depends.

There are sporting games and each campus has its own events to go to. They seem to have events every week or two and they can be things from Earth day activities to career fairs to giving away free popcorn to health fairs.

They have posters and flyers throughout the campus highlighting local events going on, and believe me, there is always something going on. The best campus I went to is Ybor campus, and there are a ton of neat things around that campus. I guess it really depends on the location you are in.

If you have a car you choices are limitless, but if you are stuck and have limited transportation SGA strives to have several activities to make life interesting. In Hawks landing which is the Student Housing area there are big events at least once a month.

There's club activities, volunteer options, and community service projects galore! HCC also has some sports teams and 'hangout' areas on every campus that you can take advantage of. SGA lounges are a great place to meet people and blow off some steam.
