Hostel:

Residence was expensive coming into it but I would recommend if you decide to stay in off campus homes you get one close to schooling, campus accommodation so far work out great for me because you get to meet people and I live right down the hall from most of my friends so if I don?t have something to cook I can just knock and they?ll have it.

For me Holland College was a place like home; with so many other Bahamians and a tuition I and my single mother could afford efficiently. Throughout the years I have had my eyes set on playing basketball at a professional player, playing the shift guard in high school and making national teams with two division 1 scholarships but fate decided different I was hurt not the summer of 2019 with a broken ankle and lost both scholarships to universities and had to fall on my plan B. Holland college to learn the craft of journalism and still further my craft and do sportscasting. I've always appreciated writing.

Hostel:

I live in residence, and it ends up being the cheapest for rest with the largest and newest space. The accessibility of the residence and how close it is in proximity to the waterfront Culinary centre was a large draw for me as well. The residence does not include a meal plan, and there isn't one offered, however, will the Holl Pass you are provided one meal a day that includes an appetizer, an entree, a dessert and a drink. Living with a roommate in two separate locked rooms is quite easy and has not posed any challenges.

I initially looked towards this program when my Culinary Technology teacher in High School suggested it to me. I applied, paid the $50 application fee, and sent in my transcripts and personal information. I applied solely to this college as I believed I had a good chance with my background. The admission process and waiting period afterwards were smooth and there were always people to answer any questions I had.
