The professors are truly amazing people who go above and beyond. The financial aide is also very good.

Though high, tuition is very transparent as to what it's used for, and every time there's a tuition hike they let us know exactly what it's going toward. This year, tuition was slightly higher in order to include laundry, so we no longer had to mess with quarters in the washing machines.

When talking with the financial aid office, my fears of not being able to afford the school were alleviated to some extent. There are so many different scholarship opportunities and alumni that are willing to help out. From the alumni I spoke with they all absolutely loved it and they are in the field they went to Hollins to be in. Except one who got into that field, didn't like it, and now is in a similar field she enjoys very much.

Hollins offers its students a variety of opportunities and not only helps them to excel academically, but also socially in the schools small environment. At Hollins, you will not get the same experience as you would a regular school which, in my opinion, is getting more bang for your buck.

Many high school students believe that just because private university's tuitions are high, means that unless their family has the money, they cannot go. However, Hollins makes the best effort to hand out as much financial aid as possible because they truly want you here!
