At Hillsdale I have been stretched in my knowledge. Many people think that at a Private “church” school you don’t learn as much as others who attend a different school, well I beg to differ. I have really expanded my knowledge since I have been enrolled at Hillsdale. I am challenged in all of my courses be it bible courses or others. I am most of the time excited to go to class to see what else I can learn!
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I really enjoy Hillsdale. It has to be something because number one it is in the city and I am definitely not a city girl. I love the country side, and I had always said I wouldn’t be in a city. And number two it is 1500 miles away from my home and family. I am very much a family person so I like to be near my family, but I went and continue to leave my family to go back to Hillsdale for school, and that says a lot about how much I enjoy being at the school. Every year I get homesick and I wonder why I continue to go that far away for school, and then I think about how much I enjoy it, and how I think I would regret it if I transferred back home.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I do think that Hillsdale is worth the cost to attend. If I didn’t I would go back to a college that is much cheaper back at home in Idaho. It is a private college and the education received at Hillsdale is very much compatible with that of other colleges. This may not matter to some, but to others like myself who are coming from out of state it may, but there is not an out of state tuition. That caught my attention coming from out of state. Hillsdale is definitely “Bang for the buck.”
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Remember to have fun, but do it within the rules of Hillsdale. Hillsdale does have stricter rules than the big universities and such and those rules should be followed. You may disagree with some of the rules, but if you follow them your life and those around you will be much easier. Don’t try to see how much you can get away with because sooner or later you will get caught and there will be consequences. With all that aside, I think the best tip that I can give to prospective students is to not procrastinate. Things will pile up on you and before you know it everything is due and you have to do it all at once. Lastly, as the president of Hillsdale always says, “GO TO CLASS!”
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Hillsdale is a great college, but it isn’t meant for everybody. If you want to take it easy in college then Hillsdale is not meant for you. If you want to party it up, and mess around with drugs, alcohol, sex, and anything of the sort, then Hillsdale is not for you. But if you want to be challenged intellectually, spiritually, and emotionally, then you will find that at Hillsdale. If you want to be a part of a big “family” who look out after each other, and hold you accountable then you should consider joining the Hillsdale family, we would love to have you!
