Not only is the campus beautiful, but when I visited it, I was engulfed with welcome from the staff! I connected well with the teachers, my admission counselor was ecstatic to see me. Hanover is a great place for me to be and I've been considering it ever since I've visited it!

Hanover College knows how to recruit by exploiting the sense of wonder young, hopeful teens. However, there are only two good things about Hanover: 1) The small scale of the school can allow you to form good relationships with professors, but that's assuming the department you want to major in has enough professors; 2) The campus itself is beautiful, but the powers that be are doing everything they can to change that. It is nowhere near worth the money you pay to go there, and a lot of the people there are hostile and toxic if you wish to discuss a possible viewpoint other than theirs, as can be the case with many liberal arts colleges. Those in charge (for the most part) are incompetent and inept. Although this review makes me seem uptight or that I have high standards, I'm a relatively easy-going person difficult to disappoint. So, I'll finish this by recommending almost anywhere else in the country.

Hanover College is a very small school with a great community and (for the most part) great professors who are excited about the course material. However, some of the goals of the college are misguided and are driven by profits rather than maintaining and bettering the undergraduate programs. Rather, they are focusing money and resources on new graduate programs that may make the undergraduate students experience in the future less fruitful.
