Hollins University Campus Life
Though I now commute to my classes on campus, my first semester I did have the opportunity to stay on campus. While the only part that didn't interest me about the dorms was the comunity bathrooms, I loved every moment of it. Staying on campus in this colorful lit female hallway with people I grew to love and whom became great friends was what I loved about it. Every single hall was a community in its own way. Because this school is trying to be more diverse, there were plenty of ways that each dorm and dorm room would show this diversity. The social atmosphere here is great. People are very friendly. I am locally from the area and when I stayed on campus I use to love to bring my mother over to the campus to exercise with me and during our exercising around the school we could come across people who wouldn't just pass us by but always greet us with a smile on their faces. The cost for the dorm life is expensive in my opinion but it is a private school and an all womens school at that. Getting in on the housing lottery is fairly easy, it starts off as a ranking based on your college status (senior, junior, etc) but then ranks on to a "first-come-first-served" basis. Honestly for the most part, many students usually get the spaces they asked for, with no hassle.
