A small town area with a personality-diverse population. Generous with financial aid. Caring and courteous staff and students.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Don not let the price tag fool you. Hiram is very generous with aid. There is a wide variety of study abroad trips. If you have never done athletics but would like to, coaches here are willing to train you. Also an admission interview is possible though not mandatory, but I highly recommend it- it gives you a chance to explain things better and make a great in-person impression.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Depending on the strength of your high school curriculum and your major it varies. Nursing students have harder classes and more requirements to graduate. The classes can be hard but professors are willing to help- along with a multitude of free outside resources on campus.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
There are a variety of dorms, each with a personality. There is an all-girl dorm, townhouses for upperclassmen, etc. Dorms vary from 24 hour quiet to 12 hour quiet, and varying quiet hours on the weekend. Some floors are upperclassmen, female only, male only, first year only, etc. They aren't to shabby either.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The dining hall has a good selection that changes often. Also, when you get a meal plan it is a flat-rate. A set price for unlimited dining all year and buffet style eating. Commuter students can by a different meal plan that limits the amount of swipes. If you live on campus a meal plan is required. A co-op is available on campus for people who are vegetarian/vegan or have food allergies through an application for free.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
A multitude of clubs are available and you are bound to find one you like- you are even more likely to find so many that you have to choose which ones to join. It is easy to create a club if one you want isn't existent already. Akron, Cleveland, Youngstown, and Warren are all about 45-90 minutes away.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
You really don't pay the full price tag, a lot of people only pay 5-10% of it. A really nice gym, extensive library and good food are great rewards.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Stealing trays from the dining hall(no longer used) to go sledding, first year students during Institute Week attend a square dance.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Science Majors, people who want a diverse education or 'just for fun' classes unrelated to their major, people who want to live in a small town area.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Many more than can be counted and easy to create new ones.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Sororities and Fraternities are not allowed but their are greek clubs.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
It is a small campus and the campus security are always around. Crime is nonexistent on campus.
