Hope College Top Questions

My major. HA.

I wish I had known that everyone is not really as friendly as they pretend to be when you visit the school and that the administration pretends to care about you evn though they really do not.

I wish I would have known that there was a lot of drinking that went on and christianity isn't as big a part as I thought it would be.

The general Hope population is more conservative than I expected. Make sure you are ready for it.

You don't need all the stuff they tell you to bring.

I wish I would have known more about the dorms and where to lived my freshman year. haha I know sounds lame. I wish I would have known exactly what I wanted to do my freshman year because I switched majors 2nd semester and I am playing catch up in order to graduate on time.

That it is a lot different than high school It is much more demanding

I wish I had known that the major choices were not many. I have changed my major so many times already and there is nothing left to do except business. I wish I had looked into that more. Also, I wish I had looked at the lack of financial aid offered to the middle class. I mean honestly its ridiculous.

The town closes early and Sunday's very little is open in downtown Holland.

I wish I had know how much it snowed up here. Winter seems to last twice as long here on campus and at times it can get a little hairy. Campus safety tries their best to keep the sidewalks and roads clear, but there is only so much you can do when it heavy snow seems to fall 24/7. I usually can't go home during our small break in Feburary because I don't feel comfortable driving. And sometimes the sidewalks are so icy that you can't walk from building to building without falling down.
