Review of Hanover College

from Fairfield, OH

Describe your college in three sentences.

Hanover College is not only a college but a place of growth and change. In my first year of Hanover I enhanced my intellectual abilities and I grew as an individual. Hanover is challenging but without the challenge it would be impossible to grow as a person.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

My advice for prospective students is to embrace anything that comes your way. Even the hardest of assignments makes life easier in time. My final tip of advice is become involved with your campus, go Greek, join clubs, something; it makes the experience go by much smoother.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

Like I've mentioned before this college is challenging. Every student I know has struggled at one point or another, but has survived. The professors are wonderful and help make these struggles much easier to get through.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

The dorm life is fairly nice. The buildings are quite old for first year students, and also lack air conditioning. (Except Blythe) The friends you make are really what make dorm life wonderful.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The food on campus offers options but if your a picky eater it is very difficult to adjust to the food. Also if grease hurts your stomach, I don't recommend going to the UG very often. My favorite place to snack/eat is the coffee shop!

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

Since it is a small campus, joining clubs or Greek life is the way to have fun. Prior to joining Alpha Delta Pi, the only fun I had was off campus. Now that I'm in a sorority it is much easier to have on-campus fun.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Hanover is definitely pricey, almost too pricey. Luckily they provide wonderful financial aid to help the students who struggle with money. For the education I'm getting, I certainly think it's worth what I am paying.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

We have many traditions, considering we are the oldest private school in Indiana! Wiffle Ball tournaments, the kissing rock, annual snow ball fight, the gala...its very nice.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

We have a very accepting and wide variety of school clubs and activities. If you want to join a club, there is almost guaranteed a club you would enjoy. If not, you can make one!

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Greek life is wonderful on campus. If you have a desire to become Greek, then you will be able to find a home easily. We have four sororities and five fraternities.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

Campus security is always on duty. They are extremely friendly and do their job very well. I feel very safe on campus at all times.
