Review of Seton Hill University

from Olive Branch, MS

Describe your college in three sentences.

Seton Hill is a small, beautiful, castle like, and close-knit school that wants to see its students succeed. The students and faculty are all open minded and supportive of everyone. Do not let the Catholic affiliation run you off, everyone is accepted and nothing is forced on you.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Get involved. We have so many clubs to choose from and activities that go on every day. Everyone is eager to make new friends and there is always a place for you.

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

The students here work very hard to make good grades. We hold a convocation for the seniors where they receive scholarships for their academic standings and it is a good majority of the class.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

When applying, you want to choose Havey Hall to live in. It is freshman housing and is very modern. There is also Brownlee Hall which is older, but still nice (it has its own gym!)

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The food is so good. We have two dining options. One is the main dining hall ,which is called Lowe Hall and is buffet style, where you can either get sandwiches made to order, pizzas, salads, Italian foods, soups, and also the main meal that they are serving in the cafeteria/kitchen area. The other dining option is a Griffin's Cove where you can order pizzas, burgers, chicken, desert, and so much more and they will make it to order. The Cove is most popular when students still have meals left over on their plan and need to use them up.

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

We have a program called the Office of a Engagement that tries to have at least a couple activities going on every day. Whether it's a magician, hypnotist, seeing a show at the theatre, or a foam dance party, there is always something fun to do.

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

Seton Hill is expensive, but they are VERY generous with their financial aid. I have loved my experience here and Know that this is an amazing investment into my future. It is definitely worth the money.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

We are a Catholic school and we observe Kristallnacht since it was so devastating and we want students to feel welcome to participate in their own beliefs. We have so many little secret gardens around campus and they are all so beautiful. It's like finding magic at school.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Seton Hill is great for ALL students. We have great programs that are very intensive and you will definitely leave knowing your craft.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are just too many clubs to list. Some include: Democratic club Republican club Feminist collective Hockey club Dance club Student theatre activities council Math club Spanish club Nutrition club Gay straight alliance

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

We do not have a Greek life. The school wants all students to feel welcomed and important.

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

We have campus police that patrol as well as emergency call posts that will allow you to talk to the campus police and they will send someone over to help you. The school is extremely safe.
