I first heard of Hillsdale College in 8th grade, and my college visit in 11th grade was one of the best experiences of my life. The campus is beautiful, the studenst are friendly and smart, and the classes were intellectually stimulating. Plus, I loved the sweet potato fries! I applied to Hillsdale in the fall of 2020 and was accepted within a month! So excited to attend this incredible college and join in the tradition of academic excellence and commitment to the founding ideals of the United States.
Hillsdale is an excellent school. Not only do they have a strong focus on a deep education, but they also support strong communities, specifically in the religious sphere. I hope to go to Hillsdale because I want the strong education that they provide, but also because I see the bonds that are cultivated there. I want an education that follows me into my post-college life, and I think I found it at Hillsdale!
I love this school! The classes and professors are outstanding and really push you to your limits. It is incredibly engaging and fascinating every day and I can honestly I was never bored in my classes. The professors are so kind and caring and invested in their students. Office hours seem a little daunting at first but as soon as you start talking with the professors you feel all the anxiety fade and take part in wonderful and enlightening conversations. I really do love the majority of the core classes here at Hillsdale because they allow you to experience just about every major area of study and open your eyes to new subject you never knew you liked. I cannot say enough good things about the school except for the food which is not quite as amazing. That being said, all other aspects of the school are truly outstanding in my opinion.
