13 Tania Hernández Level 6 Student from Mexico Being a student at HCC's English Language Center has impacted me greatly as I have become a lot more secure and confident with all the knowledge I've gained from the English classes I'm taking. I believe that the main reason is because of the great teachers and staff who are all so very kind. I met students from all over the world, and I made friends for life. The challenges you face, and the memories you make at HCC will make a huge and positive change in your life.
