    Am learning a lot

    I am learning a lot, however don't waste your money on books because half of them don't get used in the classroom.

    Am enjoying being here

    Most of the students and faculty are friendly and helpful minus a few of the administrative staff.

    Bang for the buck

    Financial aid is a hassle. There are no finanical aid options other than loans for graduate students.

    The power went out in the dorms during finals week, and had been running off generators for a few months after.

    Most of the furniture and carpet in the dorms are from over 20 years ago. I have heard this from alumni who visit and have found their initials on replaced furniture.

    Tips for prospective students

    Document Document Document!! Make sure you get everything in writing and have plenty of copies on hand.

    Great for these types of students

    I would have attended Holy names, except Spring Hill gave me a better financial package. Loved the campus, the location, the soccer coaching staff. Solid 2nd choice for me
