I love Hamline! Even though I have been here a short time it is already a home to me. Everything about it is fantastic so far!
Brook from Anchorage, AK
Hamline strives to make every moment a learning experience, and as a student there thus far, I've expanded my mind, my viewpoints, and my love for humanity as a whole through my education. Learning goes beyond the classroom and textbooks at Hamline, it's about growing as a person.
Samantha from Saint Paul, MN
They have a highly regarded academic program that is very well-rounded. The Hamline Plan is a system they use to ensure that every student gets a diverse education thus opening up endless opportunities. The professors want you to succeed, and will do anything they can to see that happen.

The professors are very, very willing to help! You will learn if you take time to study, ask questions, and visit professor's office hours. They are extremely smart and caring. I'm learning a lot!
