Job losses brought higher HCC enrollment 3 i' if lei f' :2 Tl' 4 Many people in Hillsborough County fought the economic recession by returning to college and enrolling in courses that pre- pared them for careers that had job open- ings. For the more than 3400 veterans enrolled at HCC, returning to school meant collecting VA benefits. Some veterans found partime jobs as well while others attended school at night and collected unemployment compen- sation. The financial aid offices at all campuses were swamped with requests for help in the way of a student loan or for those who qualified, the college work study program which provided federally funded job oppor- tunities.

Crowd integral part of HCC They were rarely quiet and never settled. Packed side by side, elbow to elbow, the people waited, talked and moved en masse. Strangely enough, everyone looked the same.
