Review of Mars Hill University

from Weaverville, NC

Describe your college in three sentences.

Mars Hill College is an excellent college, beyond what I could have imagined. I am presently in a summer program and will enter Freshman year, Aug. 23, 2013. I find the college staff, employees, professors, etc, the most helpful and concerned people that I could have ever hoped for.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Come to Mars Hill and enjoy the beauty of N.C. and enjoy a staff of people that make college, especially Mars Hill College, a place you want to be. They are with you and behind you all the way. I could have never imagined it to be so great.

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

I am taking Personal Finances and Computer Art Graphics. My professors are great. I am enjoying college and the fact that I could take summer courses and get adjusted ahead of time is such an asset. 5 stars

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Dorm life has been super. The girls are like a family, a family who stand by each other. I have made several new friends and am so pleased to have met each and every one of them. 5 stars

Describe the food and dining at your college.

I get 3 square meals a day. I am enjoying being able to go out with my dorm friends or by myself to the cafeteria and eat, and in my case, the food is included in my tuition. The food is great and the fact that it is included in my tuition is such a help and a lot of pressure off of me. We also go out to dine at local restaurants from time to time. 5 Stars

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

I couldn't even imagine that college would be fun. As it is, I have been in Mars Hill Summer program since July 1 and have not gone home once yet. I am ready to go home to relax, as we have not stopped doing things since I got here. We have gone to the Biltmore, to barbeques, to Virginia for bike riding. We were supposed to go white water rafting, but had to cancel due to waters a little rough, but will still do it before fall semester begins. Fun!

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

I give Mars Hill 5 Stars, as I feel that I am going to get more out of college than I ever imagined. Just touring the grouds back in May, I felt I had to be here to enjoy all this school has to offer. The one thing that impressed me the most is that I was told I will a staff member monitor me throughout the year and help to keep me in a positive direction. It is expensive, but the college works with you and then fafsa helps and now I am still applying for more scholarship to help with the remaining tuition.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

I am not really here long enough to answer this.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Mars Hill is great for any type student. It has so much to offer to all.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

For the time I am here, since July 1, I give it a 5 star rating. We are doing everything. I know when Fall Semester starts Aug. 23, we will be doing Football games and community service and just enjoying a super college life.

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

For the short time I am here, again, I rate a 5 star rating. We have a girl with us who is not a Freshman, who helps us understand the ways and rules and keeps us on track for cleaning days. But there is also a security person that keeps watch over us and we know we are safe.
