hope international university is one of the greatest places to make new friends while going to college. everyone knows everyone and the faculty and staff are so friendly. hope has some of the greatest student activities as well such as humans vs zombies, clash 'n bowl, and a halloween carnival every year.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
i highly recommend applying to and attending hope international because it was one of the best decisions i've ever made and it can be the same for anyone else. even if you are not from a christian upbringing, the christian perspective that is taught in every class at hope will definitely make you think and may even lead you to become a christian yourself.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
the classes at hope can be very challenging, but the professors are very helpful and patient if a student has any questions. the library also offers tutoring to anyone who needs it.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
it's very easy to make friends in the dorms because everyone is always hanging out in the lobby or outside. there will even be the occasional nerf gun fight in the dorms so be prepared!
Describe the food and dining at your college.
the food at hope is definitely not the greatest food you will ever eat, but it has its high points. the rotisserie chicken is always pretty good, as well as the grill where you can get a burger, patty melt, turkey or veggie burgers, etc. the cafeteria is also one of the places people go to hang out with friends and maybe just grab an ice cream cone. you can also stop at the hub to get a snack or something to drink before class or just to hang around and talk to people.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
there are plenty of fun things to do on and around campus. there is a student activities room filled with board games, a tv, a ping pong table and a foosball table. we also have a movie lounge with a projector screen and the comfiest couches you will ever sit on. around campus is the brea mall, a movie theater, restaurants, fast food, and a ton of shops in downtown fullerton all within 15 minutes of campus.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
every year we have an event called gyrad (get your roommate a date) where everyone finds there roommate someone to go to the activity with by scheming with that person's roommate. no one finds out who they're going with until a week before the event when a list is posted in the student center.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
hope is a great place for any type of student. being a non denominational christian school, you will meet very friendly people who you can relate to in almost any way. there are plenty of non christian students at hope but they also fit in very well because our student body is so diverse.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
because the campus is so small, safety issues are very rare. walking around on campus at night is very safe, and you can always call a campus security guard if you need anything.
