Waste of money. There are so many more opportunities out there, so please do not choose this school. Your money can take you much further elsewhere. The students are superficial and the dorms are loud. The counseling services are terrible and most of the classes are jokes unless you’re in the science/pre med curriculum. But from what I’ve seen, they are just given crazy tasks.

Spring Hill is by far the best college I went to see. The atmosphere was just as friendly as the people I met there. The professors are eager to help you and want nothing less than to see you succeed in every way. This college is small community based so it has a lot of one-on-one help. Highly recommended.

Bobby - 08/22/2018

I should have gone to a college with really great academics and one with a solid and real Catholic Christian culture. Springhill College is a phony small "c" catholic school. As I look back on my college years at Springhill I see clearly that I should have attended either a great secular State college or a solid really Catholic college.

Amanda - 07/17/2018

I liked spring hill college, however i felt as though there could have been a few more engaging activities and better food choices outside of the school cafeteria. I love the professors and their personalities. Ive met some great people there but i feel like a few things could be different.

  14. What is your overall opinion of this school?

    This school is VERY small. It's under 900 Undergrad. Almost everyone is in a sorority or a fraternity...it's not hard to get into one but the entire school and student body revolves around greek life 24/7. If drama and rivalry and reliving highschool are what you are looking for this is the school for you!

  15. What are the most popular student activities/groups?

    Very safe campus can leave your dorm room unlocked, although I never did. Basketball games are really popular here but thats about it, if you're into baseball they have a lot of games and Babe Ruth played on the field at SHC. Dating scene is luck of the draw - there is a much larger Girl to Guy ratio. If you're awake at 2AM on a tuesday you should probably go back to bed, there is nothing going on in Mobile, Alabama unless you wanna head to the Taco Bell for a chalupa. People party usually just Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. They either party in the apartments which are on campus or head downtown to the bar scene.

  16. What are the academics like at your school?

    This school has some excellent professors, if you can get past the fact that you are stuck living in the bubble of Spring Hill College (all students are required to live on campus all 4 years) in Mobile, Alabama then the education is worth it...the Burke library is only a few years old and absolutely beautiful, its a great place to study.
