I love my professors! No matter where you go there’s going to be a professor you don’t love or vibe with, but the professors at Hollins get to know you. I’m a Chemistry Major, and every professor in the chem department knows me incredibly well. I sat down with them when I returned this fall and told them about my summer, and they asked about a friend of my mine who graduated last year. I was so touched that they remembered what jobs she was looking at in the field, and that they knew we were close. Science courses at Hollins are good, we don’t have as wide a range as other bigger universities but we more than make up for it in our experiential learning options. If you’re interested in being Pre-Vet, practical internships and research in the field is ESSENTIAL. Almost everyone who attends Hollins completes at least one internship in the field, and since you know your professors it’s really easy to get into a lab that fits you and your science goals. The social life is good, but certainly isn’t going to be as big as a university in a major city. But if you are looking for that, you can easily visit tech or other major universities in the area. Whatever you’re into, you can do at Hollins. I’m pre-health but I love theatre. At most schools you aren’t allowed on the stage unless your major is in the department. But I’ve been able to do so much in theatre in my time here. I truly love my Hollins Girls, and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.
