    Am learning a lot

    Mars Hill College is a small college which allows for smaller classes. Being in small classes allow for more face time with Professors.

    Am enjoying being here

    There a so many groups to join and activities to so at Mars Hill College. The school is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains and the school provides trips to go hiking, skiing, and camping. There are many active groups to join to get involved on campus.

    Bang for the buck

    Mars Hill College is a private college so it is expensive however the college will work with the students financially.

    Tips for prospective students

    Research what Mars Hill College has to offer and see if it is the right school for you.

    Because of it being a private college the classes are so small, and with that the professors can work with each student. It is so helpful and is so much easier to learn the information they give us.

    Am enjoying being here

    The campus is so small, and because of that it is easier to get to know people. The college sponsors so many events, and that allows all of the students to get to know each other and the staff.

    Bang for the buck

    Really expensive, but it is well worth it.

    Tips for prospective students

    If you want to come here, know that it is a small college. Work on keeping your grades up, and go out for scholarships.

    Great for these types of students

    Students who want to live in a small town, where their friends and teachers become like family.

    Am learning a lot

    At first Mars Hill is overwhelming, but then you get used to the challenges faced in your classes. I have learned an incredible amount about new topics and new information about topics I had previously learned about in high school. Mars Hill College is a great place to come to further your education.

    Am enjoying being here

    I personally love Mars Hill. At first it was a little strange coming to a school that was much smaller than my high school, Mars Hill only has around 1100 people. I love that Mars Hill is little though, because you will walking around campus and you know or at least recognize every face you see and that part is amazing. There are also a ton of really nice people, when you come to visit campus or if you are a student you will hardly ever walk around and not see someone a smile on their face. People are so friendly.

    Bang for the buck

    Mars Hill is a private school so it is very expensive, however, Mars Hill works with you and your parents to create a plan that fits your individual needs as far as financial aid goes. They offers so many scholarships and grants that everyone here receives at least some money from the college. Its great.

    Tips for prospective students

    When you come for a visit I would recommend coming when school is in session so that you can meet and talk to people. So that you can figure out just how much fun Mars Hill is and get the full MHC experience.

    Great for these types of students

    Mars Hill is great for students that would like to participate in a sport in college, over 75 percent of our population are student-athletes. But I don't want to discourage non-athletes either, Mars Hill is also a great school for students who do not wish to participate in a sport.

    Will learn a lot

    I applied to Mars Hill College hoping that I will take advantage of what they will teach me in the future.

    Will enjoy being here

    I hope I meet new people because with out knowing anybody and being alone won't be good for me to even enjoy being there. I am very excited to meet new friends and professors.

    Bang for the buck

    They said I got $3,000 a year, so I'm guessing it is starting out good. I just hope I get a job there and earn more money while studying.

    Tips for prospective students

    Do not ever give up!

    Great for these types of students

    Love to do something and take part on activities.

    mars hill has such a great atmosphere and is one of strong community. the campus is beautiful and most of the professors are willing to help in any way they can.

    Tips for prospective students

    make sure all financial aid is final so you don't arrive with an unsuspected balance

    Academic Rigor

    it mostly depends on the major. a music major has the most rigor, then theatre arts and then zoology/biology

    Dorm Life

    the resident advisers are wonderful people and make great friends and the dorms are being renovated.

    Food and Dining

    it can get redundant but the faculty is amazing and so are mrs virginia's omelets.

    What to do for fun

    there are many organized events on campus and because the location is close to the blue ridge mountains, there are great places to go on the weekends as well as many volunteer opportunities.

    Clubs and Activities

    clubs are very active and are supported by the college community

    Campus Safety

    not many things happen in small towns and its a very quiet place.

    The professors at MHC are very caring and are willing to work with you! They want to see the best out of you and will try their best to work with you to make that happen. The classes are small and so its easier to ask questions and have them answered.

    Am enjoying being here

    I love MHC and the opportunity the college has given me. I have learned and gained many skills since I've been there. I know I will continue to grow. The people are friendly and enjoyable to be around. If your in sports then its even better!

    Bang for the buck

    The dorms could use some help but overall the college is worth it. Yes its a private school and therefore it is a little expensive but so are all private colleges. Its small so it is more about finding who you are and growing which is the best part. You also live in the middle of the mountains which is the BEST part!!

    Tips for prospective students

    Never be scared to ask for help or tell a professor or financial aid about your situation. They are willing to work to help you. You have to work to get the grade but it is worth it!! Be prepared and on time and that is a major part of the effort. Also be ready for changes in weather! The weather changes all the time.

    Great for these types of students

    Athletic; Nature loving; Someone that wants to be apart of a group; Religion seekers ( Great religion studies), Musicians, Artists.... Someone that can make their own fun without being in a city. This is a small country town area but with amazing nature.

    Will learn a lot

    It's a small college, for me that means smaller number of students in class which will give more time for me to grasps the information that the professors are teaching, and for the professors to know me as a person and not a number in a class of hundreds.

    Will enjoy being here

    This is a new opportunity for me and I think I will enjoy the learning process in my field of study, and to enjoy my knew surrounding.

    Bang for the buck

    Mars Hill is a private college so a little more expensive, but worth the expense.

    Tips for prospective students

    Do your research of MHC to see what it is offering. Keep your grades up and to apply for scholarships.

    Great for these types of students

    It is great for students who are looking for a christain base college and for students who are looking for a small family school it is great.
