Liberal Arts

Being a small school Hollins can cater to your academics in ways larger schools cannot. The professors are inspiring and very helpful. Class sizes are small and professors generally know their students personally. The curriculum and workload can be challenging, but not overwhelming. And that really depends on how hard or how easy you make it on yourself, by what major you choose and what classes you select.

You Have to Make the Effort

The options as far as campus nightlife are bleak. There will be an occasional apartment get together, which will only be fun if you are really good friends with everyone. NEFA (fine arts dorm)has regular parties, but they are very alternative and have to end by 2 am. You can catch the Hollins shuttle downtown, which offers several bars and dance clubs. But make sure you catch it back to campus at midnight and bring money for the cover charges, usually $5.The majority of legitimate nightlife happens at the schools nearby. So make friends with girls who make the weekend trips to Tech and Hampden Sydney.
