Do you have any tips for prospective students?
If you plan on coming to Hocking I would advise you to either live in the dorms if you love far from the college if not in an apartment. Just be ready to make new friends every day. I have been here almost a whole year and I am still making new friends. Also, if you hunt you can keep your things down at the Nelsonville Police Department and go hunting either behind the campus with your bow and a permit from the school, or at one of the many public hunting spots close to the college.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Depending on your major and how well you study and take tests the classes aren't too hard. But for some of the science courses they can be a little difficult if you don't pay attention, just like any college course.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
You are always meeting new people. With there being 3 out of the 5 dorms being so close together you are always getting to see your friends that live on campus. Especially if you make friends with the people on your floor you will almost always be busy either talking or studying. With there being a study room on a floor of each of the new dorms and a lounge that you can go have a good time in with your friends you always have the opportunity to get your work done.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Some of the food isn't too great in my opinion but I'm a picky eater. So on the grill they have almost anything, from grilled chicken and hamburgers to grilled cheese and fried chicken strips.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
For fun you can go to the student center. In the student center they have a workout gym, basketball and volleyball courts which coinside with a small soccer field, rock climbing and repelling wall, swimming pool and a dance studio. There are so many think you can do. They also have disk golf and many innermural sports you could be associate with.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Which types of students will excel at your college?
This is a great college for country kids or anyone who like the out doors. You always the the opportunity to be doing something outside.
