Professional Accounting Major
"The best part about the courses at Hastings College is the small class size which allows the professors to know you better along with you knowing the professor better. I believe this leads to a better learning environment when both student and professor are more than just faces to one another. Through my time at Hastings College I learned that the social experience of Hastings College, as well as life in the classroom, is all about one thing, the relationships that you make."
Paul Campfield, Class of 2012
