Computers at Hollins University

A

Great Computer Resources!

Excellent computer resources in library, free printing with no limits, a couple other labs available but at times the printing resources or hours of operation are less reliable. Plenty of computers around campus, all up to date, fast, good web access, etc. Wireless in on-campus housing is a little spotty at times, but sufficiently reliable.

Transportation at Hollins University

B-

Car Good but Not Required

It's nice to have a car to get around, town and shops can be pretty far away from campus. Getting around campus is easy on foot, and there is restricted areas for student parking on campus, but enough that no one can't find a spot. Sometimes too strict in library zone parking, tricky rules and unexpected tickets are not uncommon.

Drug Safety at Hollins University

A

No Drugs Here!

If you don't want to see or hear or know about drug usage, you won't. Because all participants in the graduate program are of age, social drinking is acceptable and a welcomed part to social gatherings, and groups of grad students will often frequent nearby bars to kick back. Otherwise, it is a very mellow scene.

Weather at Hollins University

B

Hot and Stormy

At times the humidity can make the day a little unbearable and everyone will shut themselves indoors. This will probably bother those from the North more than those from the South. The evenings are always beautiful and there are occasional daytime thunderstorms that are always interesting and a lot of us grew pretty fond of them.

Overall Experience at Hollins University

A

Best School!

Hollins is the best school I've ever attended. Excellent and diverse classes, beautiful campus, accessible staff and faculty, and a very happy family among my fellow students. I wish the printers were more reliable, but if that is the biggest issue, there is no place like Hollins.

Diversity at Hollins University

A

Diversity Definitely

Being in a summer grad program, there are plenty of students from all over the US, and a few international students. However, we all work well together and often any social or cultural differences add to the richness of our experience and writings.
