Hood College is unique in many ways. We have numerous traditions and events that are highly participated in yearly. We begin every school year with opening convocation where President Volpe welcomes all of the new and returning students. Shortly after the annual Margaret Hood Ball is held. One of the most well-known thing throughout campus is the pergola. It sits right in the middle of the campus and the most important rule is to never split the poles with whoever you are walking with.

I liked the idea of Hood College's small size. It is also very close to my home and I can visit my family almost whenever I desire too. I live on campus but it is nice to know that i have family nearby in case I have an emergency. The school also has my intended major and I was very happy to find out that such a convenient location for my major existed.

Hood college is one of only two 4 year colleges in the Frederick area. The other Mount Saint Mary's is a highly religious school which I did not ever consider. For a non-religious education Hood is the closest and best choice that does not involve a significant commute. In addition, the school is dedicated to racial and ethnic diversity among both students and staff, and has very strong environmental responsibility. It's convenient location in a small city make Hood College unique in this community.

The uniqueness about my school is the location (perfect for a commuter student in Frederick) and the initimate class settings. The class sizes are set up were a student vs. professor can get to know each other by name and face as well as encourages one to excel with learning.

Hood is a very small but very energetic school. It is a place where everyone feels comfortable and welcome. The downtown area is close by walking and D.C. and Baltimore are not far away. Hood is unique because of it's placement. It is also unique becuase you have such a great bond with your professors. You are never a number here, and realtionships are always great.

Hood College is unique because it is a college that is extremely welcoming to newcomers and new freinds and oppurtunities. Also the students can easily become connected to each other just by having something in common; they can easily rely on each other in and out of the classroom. Also it is a campus rich in tradition, and friendship, and most importantly, it is simply a great place to be smart.

I find Hood unique in that it is truly a liberal arts college. It is a great school if you wish to not only learn skills to navigate the work world, but if you want to learn how to think critical and analyze any thing throughly, Hood is the place for great minds to develop.

It had a friendly setting. The people were nice. The campus was amazingly beautiful. I felt at home here. :) The professors were very personable. The students I spoke to told me that the professors were accessible and always ready to help. Hood also has one of the best science programs in the East Coast.

Here, at Hood College, the student body is not treated as a minor, but rather an adult. Hood College recognizes that we are all adults and we can be responsible. We are free to make our own decisions here, the college is just our guid.
