Beautiful campus. Because of Covid-19 we couldnt walk or go inside what is usually open. Took some beautiful pictures of the mountains..

I do not attend school there. I am doing some work on more new building projects.

Great place yo go walking

All the luck and love in the world to my daughter!

Its a beautiful place, but sad because I had to drop off my baby and leave her there.

A great place to walk

Beautiful campus!

The best four years of my life were spent here! The beautiful, serene antebellum campus was the perfect locale for studying and making friends. Although the campus is tiny, it is really such an amazing and magical place where you make long lasting friendships and take classes in such an amazing environment. Small classes, great professors and individualized attention. Academics are strong and the internship program and J-term trips were the highlight of my time there.

My 3 years on campus and then my one year abroad were great. Was it all fun all the time? No. But did I learn and grow? Yes! It feels almost other wordly - the ivy covered brick walls, the historical buildings, the yall and Yes Maam but Hollins is plugged in! The energy is great, the attitude is power! I was prepared to take on the world when I left Hollins and I have! Im so proud to be a Hollins Girl!

I loved my time spent at Hollins University for its students, professors, and campus. Its an amazing place to grow and learn and has a strong, supportive community. The campus is beautiful and easily accesible by foot, the professors care about their students, and there are a wide range of activities and events held on campus. The Horizon Program is a wonderful group of ladies returning or entering college at a later stage of life and the campus does a great job of supporting the program.

Graduating this year, unfortunately transferring schools was too expensive for me. Its the time of year for college decisions, so I warn you that HU may not be what it seems. If you ask anyone in the area about Hollins, they look at you in a condescending way, and most schools in VA that know of Hollins, sees the university as a joke. The school caters to a certain kind of woman and if you dont fit into the HU family, it feels like being an outsider. The student body has many cliques. The girls here have all been outsiders in their home towns and come here to ban together into cliques and do the same to people who arent like them. The administration at Hollins is incredibly helpful and friendly, but they publicize Hollins to something that it isnt. Hollins used to be a college that produced extraordinary women, but now it graduates classes of misfits who arent ready for the graduate school/ jobs. Its your choice to go to whatever college you choose, and I hope you have a great college experience, but make sure youre 100% committed to whatever college you choose because most colleges wont take Hollins credit and most colleges dont offer a lot in the way of scholarships to transfers.

As a senior who is graduating Hollins in a few short weeks, I have to disagree with Jamies view. Throughout my time at Hollins I have had six internships at various museums (three of which were at Smithsonian, Harvard Art Museums and the International Spy Museum) and will begin attending graduate school in the fall. I feel extremely prepared for graduate school since I have participated in two symposiums, completed numerous research assignments (including a senior thesis) and am quite set on my career path. I also know quite a few other seniors who have had numerous internships and have been interviewed/have obtained jobs for post graduation. Believe me Jamie, we know quite a few incredible women.I have also never heard of Hollins being a joke, especially since it is one of the top 400 universities in the nation. Yes, there are some courses/programs that are easier than others, but what college does not have that?I will agree with Jamie about the culture of Hollins though, it can become quite toxic at times. However, I think this is a struggle that small universities face. I feel like the Hollins community can be quite stiffling due to the coddling that occurs within social groups as well as in (some) professor and student interactions. If a topic makes someone uncomfortable, it is avoided at all costs. While this adds benefits to group cohesion, it can shelter people from growing and becoming more tolerant of diverse ideas. Here I am of course advoacting that the topic is approached with respect and understanding, rather than simply letting it lie. I believe that Hollins needs to work on this in the future in order to create a more open community. However, I do not believe this is exclusively a Hollins problems. Rather, it is a problem that occurs in society at large.As for how Hollins creates leftist liberals and angry feminists, then I would like to point out how many universitys are doing that. Most of academia is extrmely liberal, and I know quite a few people who became feminists during college that attended much larger universities.All in all, my Hollins experience has been an enjoyable mix of rigorous academics, internships and professional experiences. Even though at times the social scene became difficult, I have still managed to make lasting friends.

Great School!!!!

Excellent Graduate Program.

The girls are very one sided, visited one night last year and it was not easy to get through
