Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

You could no more describe the “average” Hollins woman than you could describe the “average” piece of Chex Mix. You’ve got the pearl-wearing horseback riders; the artsy, modern dancers; the manga-crazed, fantasy-loving creative writing majors; the easy-going, faux-hawked lesbians; the busy, overachieving student government officers; and many, many others. One characteristic that unifies almost all Hollins women is a strong personality; the accepting atmosphere and strong sense of community on campus gives students the freedom and self-confidence to express themselves and flaunt an unconventional beauty. Though Hollins has distinct cliques, most students form friendships that bridge the gaps between those groups; at Hollins you don't have to hang out with just one group of people.

The lesbian dating scene is very present on campus. Hollins has a strong support system for lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, intersex, queer, and questioning women. Like any dating scene in a small community, it generates lots of gossip and drama. Those who prefer men seek out off-campus resources, such as neighboring schools (Virginia Tech, Virginia Military Institute, Roanoke College) or downtown restaraunts and clubs. Don’t expect to meet men at Hollins parties; the admissions office claims they “truck men in” from other schools for dances and parties, but this is not true. At Oktoberfest 2011, for example, approximately five men graced the dance floor, and most of them had come with their girlfriends.

The Skinny on an All-Girls School

First off I will break all stereotypes and say that the drama at an all girls' campus is much lower than other campuses!! The lack of males in the classroom is unnoticeable and there are many off-campus hangout places to meet guys. The girls are not catty at all, unless you get in an extremely over the top dramatic lesbian relationship, but most girls do well at avoiding that. Some weekends may feel a little limiting, but overall the all girls' experience gives much more room for a female student to truly be her amazing self.

Half Are Snobs and Half Are Waaaaayyyy Different

The sport teams tend to be very rich and cliquish. Most everyone else come from really different life styles and find themselves dressing in cloths that clash just for fun!

Most guys you see are actually girls- ALL WOMEN COLLEGE!

Hollins -

we are not a co-ed school. Which I find refreshing, and noteworthy.
