    Am learning a lot

    Young Harris is a top of the notch learning school. With small class sizes professors are ablet to get to know the students on individual basis and help them with their needs. They have excellent tutoring programs and the best academic services.
    Am enjoying being here

    The beautifle mountian air is the best place to continue your education. there is many different outdoor activities with in you reach. But if the out doors is not your thing there is malls and shopping just down the road. the dorms are some of the biggest i have seen. the food is great and available throughout the entire day.
    Bang for the buck

    Although Young Harris is a bit on the pricey side it is well worth the money. You receive a quality education and experience at Young Harris.
    Tips for prospective students

    The best tip i could give to a student attending Young Harris is to be very dedicated to your studies. It is an easy school to gt into, but the academics are not easy.

    Will learn a lot

    There is a very wide range of courses offered at YHC, and teachers are so involved in helping each individual student. It is a comfortable learning environment.
    Will enjoy being here

    The campus is beautiful, with mountains surrounding it. Also, all the buildings are lovely, and look well. The weather is enjoyable, and there are tons of beautiful flowers and plants all around. It seems there is quite a bit of activities to get involved with as well.
    Bang for the buck

    It is a little pricey since it's a small, private liberal arts college. Although, YHC gives out some great scholarships, and financial help to those who need it.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you are looking for a school that focuses on humanities, fine arts, and anything on the lines of that, this is the perfect place to go. It's a lovely, comfortable small campus, and everyone will practically know you. It's such a friendly environment, and such a beautiful school.
    Great for these types of students

    Young Harris College is an amazing college with a beautiful campus. The classes are very challenging but they are worth it in the end. I recommend this college to everyone because you will fall in love with the school.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you are going to attend Young Harris College, bring lots of different weather clothing. The weather is very changy because of the valley. Sometimes it will be freezing and sometimes it is very sunny and warm. Make sure you prepare for the classes over the summer as well.
    Academic Rigor

    The classes are very challenging. You will not get a break from work because you are constantly writing a paper, doing a project, or etc. The teachers are pretty great and have a deep knowledge of their field.
    Dorm Life

    The dorms depend on where you stay. The nicest dorms are Hillgrove, Enotah, and the Village. Make sure you clean like every week because rooms get dirty pretty fast.
    Food and Dining

    The food is alright. It is cafeteria food after all.
    What to do for fun

    There are a lot of outdoor activities to do around the campus. You can go to hike at many different areas around Young Harris. If you are an outdoor lover you will find many opportunities up here.
    Bang for the buck

    It is worth the money, it is just really expensive to go here.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Before finals, we go the night before finals start and walk the wall at the front of campus. It is a tradition. There is a waterfall near the campus called Cupids.

    The campus is very safe. Police station is in one of the dorms.

    The campus is beauty being surrounded by mountains. The teachers and students are wonderful. It's a small campus and everyone is involved in all aspects of the school.
    Academic Rigor

    The classes are not the easiest but the teachers will work with you and will always meet with you to work things out. There are tutors available and other ways to help you succeed in every class.
    Dorm Life

    The dorms are nice and every night is like a sleepover with your friends. If there are every any problems with the dorms they get fixed in a reasonable time. There is plenty of room and closet space.
    Food and Dining

    The food is alright. The dining room is small and does not fit everyone during their busy hours for the growing campus they have.
    What to do for fun

    There are always activities going on outside on the lawn in front of the dorms. There are many places near campus to go hiking, fishing, or swimming at the lake near by. There are many sites to go camping near the school.

    Young Harris College is a nice, quiet place to begin a transition into adulthood. It is a cozy place in the mountains with a spectacular view. Everyone on the campus is very polite and you feel right at home.
    Tips for prospective students

    I would advise any prospective student to make sure they have the financial capability. Although it is a nice school is it quite expensive.
    Academic Rigor

    I was honestly expecting it to be a lot harder than it was but with enough effort and consistent help from teachers, it is very manageable.
    Dorm Life

    The dorms are really great. There is adequate space for someone of any taste and different building types so you can find a fit just for you.
    Food and Dining

    The food has its ups and downs. It can be monotonous at times but you get used to it.
    What to do for fun

    Honestly, the surrounding areas are a bit dry at times. There is a lovely little beach up the road and various activities like movies and bowling.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    The mountains and waterfalls can take your breath away. There are several hiking rails in the area for out door type people.
    Great for these types of students

    Students who generally went to smaller high schools would appreciate Young Harris a lot more.
    Campus Safety

    The campus police officers are very helpful and keep the campus as safe as possible. Our safety is a top priority.

    Will learn a lot

    The small class sizes allow a one-on-one interaction between the student and professor.
    Will enjoy being here

    The students seem to plan a lot of activities, but it is in a very small town, with not much otherwise to do. Atlanta is only a short distance away, though.
    Bang for the buck

    The tuition is high, but many scholarships are offered by the school and to me, it is worth it.

    Am learning a lot

    This school is very challenging! It will kick your butt!!!
    Am enjoying being here

    Almost everyone goes home for the weekend which kinda sucks, it can be boring. Unless you party. If you party then it's great!
    Bang for the buck

    It's over $30'000 a year. Granted there are a lot of scholarship opportunities, but still expensive. I think the money is worth it though.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you have a hard time paying attention in class then this is the place to be. The teachers have a lot of one on one attention with students and are great with making things easy to understand.
    Great for these types of students

    Students who want a challenge---- Students who are ok with being bored pretty often---- Students who like to party on the weekend

    Did learn a lot

    I learned as much inside of the classroom as I did outside of the classroom. Certain professors and certain classes will teach you more than others however, the desire to learn must come from within.
    Did enjoy being here

    I can absolutely say with 100% certainty that I loved being at Young Harris. I lived on campus with my cross country team mates and other friends. I enjoyed the Greek life and the spiritual life at the college. I spent time on the beautiful campus with wonderful people making beautiful memories that I will always cherish and hold dear to my heart.
    Bang for the buck

    Young Harris is a private school so it is expensive, however, the only person who can make sure you get your money's worth is you. You can either make your time at this school completely worth it or you can waste it. If you come with the right attitude and positivity then this school is worth it.
    Tips for prospective students

    Don't just sit around in your dorm room!! Get involved on campus and you'll make a lot of great friends and memories. Enjoy the mountains and all the lakes. Go hiking and swimming and exploring!! Learn about the college's history too because that's pretty interesting! Don't be afraid to talk to new people and branch out. But most importantly you should become best friends with the people in the PB building which includes financial aid, advising, registrar, and other offices. Good luck at Young Harris!!
