Campus Housing at Hollins University

A

All in All Nice

You can literally walk across the campus in 5 minutes which is very convenient for classes. The dorm rooms are pretty spacious with very few problems. I live in Tinker which is nice if you want a more active community. Randolph is the other option for First Year housing. It doesn't have air conditioning but it's nice if you prefer a smaller scene. There are also specialty houses which first years can apply to by the end of their first semester at Hollins. I'm planning to move onto Otaku Hall during J-Term. Otaku is a place where fans of anime, manga, sci-fi, video games, history, literature, and fantasy hang out. It's a nice and warm atmosphere where we treat each other like family. There's also Nefa for the arts, Sandusky for community service, French House, Spanish House, and Carvin International House.

Drug Safety at Hollins University

A

I Don't See It but I Know It's There

I don't know very many people who do drugs on campus. From what I have heard, drinking is pretty prevalent at parties though. There are however options for people who want to avoid the party scene. There are "Wellness Halls" available to students. Wellness Halls are dorm communities where people sign a contract saying that they refuse to use any substances while on or off campus.

Scholarships at Hollins University

B

Alright...

Hollins Offers a lot of financial aid. I recieved $15,0000 simply for my academic performance in high school as well as my ACT scores. UI have heard that some students have had problems with the financial aid office though. The financial aid office can be slow with paperwork along with the approval process for some students. I know a few girls who had to transfer just because their financial aid wasn't going through.

Overall Experience at Hollins University

A+

Awesome

Alright. Hollins is one of the most awesome colleges in the world. All of the zany traditions we have around here are loads of fun. At the end of First Year Orientation, all of the first years go on a white water rafting trip! It was amazing and a lot of fun! Tinker Day is another great tradition which occurs after the first frost of autumn. All of us dress up in crazy outfits and hike up Tinker Mountain. After we reach the top, we perform crazy skits as as we feast on fried chicken. The other women here are extremely nice as well! Not too mention that we are all intelligent and care about our grades!
