    Although Hope is a little expensive, it is easily payable. There should be absolutely no reason for anyone to not be able to afford Hope's tuition price. Tuition covers many expenses that many students don't take advantage of.

    As a student who is attending Hope on a very good merit scholarship, I don't feel qualified to answer. However, an IMPORTANT NOTE: Students who might need health servies (whether physical or mental) should read this. The Admissions Office screwed up and let too many people in and now Hope's health resources are stressed beyond capacity. Currently, there is a two week waiting period to get an appointment with Counseling And Psychological Services, and the Health Center also admits to being overbooked. So far the administration has done nothing to alleviate these stresses, though they admit to being aware of them.

    Although Hope is expensive, most students receive aid. In the end, Hope is far cheaper than the price tag.

    Hope College tends to scare off incoming freshman families because of the price tag that goes along with it. However, Hope College is a life-changing place that will not only challenge you academically but spiritually as well. It will help you grow as a person and will grant you with opportunities to have a successful future as well.

    Hope is getting fairly expensive, but there are lots of scholarships they offer. Plenty of people attending do not pay the sticker price due to loans, scholarships, and grants. The faculty is outstanding and there are so many research opportunities available, which is indispensable.
