I'm currently a sophomore at Hood and I love this school! Hood College has an amazing environment if you want to work hard and succeed academically and career-wise. It gives us a sense of independence, and classes are quite difficult, but they are manageable if you apply yourself! Here, I feel as if I am just living in a small town and taking classes because everyone at Hood is friendly and motivating. If you are considering applying for college Hood is an excellent choice.
I think Hood College was a perfect fit for me academically and socially. I have met some of the best people that will be in my life forever. I am a current first year studying Political Science with a pre-law focus. The education I have received has been very good. The class sizes are very small, and I am able to connect well to my professors. Our campus is right outside Historic Downtown Frederick and in a ten-minute walk, I am able to explore the city and enjoy the scenery. The school is worth checking out!
I absolutely loved Hood College, and I am a proud alum of the school. Hood is a private liberal arts school. That means that you will read, discuss, write lengthy papers, critically analyze, and be encouraged to be an architect of change. One must immerse themselves in the college experience, and that is what Hood requires. The professors were excellent, my advisor beyond supportive, and they have continued to nurture me after graduation. My only regret is that I did not complete all four years at Hood and that I did not reside on campus. I felt nourished, loved, and valued.
