I am a part-time student at HOA, and while class work can be a bit difficult at times the teachers are so kind and always willing to help, and as long as you stay caught up on your work you can be very successful and achieve great grades!! The only downside about HOA is you cant always find out a lot about the class until you join it and the same goes for how your teachers will be.
