REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingI am currently going into my fourth semester at Hiram College and have been learning every step up the way. The fall of your freshman year you take a first year class where students learn about a particular topic and while doing so learn how to write, speak, and give presentation at a college level. I found myself in need of this class and have it to thank for allowing me to make the Dean's list, which is 3.6 or high GPA on a 4.0 scale. In addition to this class I found the Writing Center happy to work with my skills each and every time I needed help. There was even a time during finals when the center was closed but still had the ability to e-mail one of the students I met there for help. In addition, the bond I formed with my adviser was amazing because he was there every step of the way to show me how to design my class schedule to prepare for law school.
Corey from Ravenna, OH
At Hiram, you learn inside and outside the classroom. There is a lot of room for people to grow in this environment. It is great to see all the staff and faculty and students believe what this college does.. The size allows students have a more personal relationship. The nice thing about that is, the professor learn what your strengths are and help you enrich both your strong and you weak abilities. They are opportunities for students to learn a lot outside of the classroom. With a little over 1,100 students it has over 70 clubs.
Ashley from Middlefield, OH
Hiram is a terrific place for meeting new people, that is my favorite part about the college. No matter what type of personality fits you best, whether you are athletic, outgoing, or shy, you will find the right group for you that will make your years here the best you have ever experienced. This small campus welcomes everyone with warm and open arms, literally!
Rima from Youngstown
Hiram College is giving me a great education with professors who care about my academic success. The class work is beneficial to my major and I can take the knowledge that I have learned from every class and apply that to the current classes that I am in to help me in problem solving and critical thinking.
