Matthew - 06/06/2024

Stonehill has become a second home to me over the two years I have attended. I have found friends that I can see myself enjoying conversation with for decades to come. As a political science student, I enjoy robust courses with well-read, intelligent teachers who are supportive every step of the way, and want nothing more than to see their students grow and observe the content of the courses, and challenge themselves through debate, research and academic writing. I come from parents who met at the College, and following an older sibling who graduated the spring before I entered the campus, and it's clear to see why: Stonehill is a place that feels like home, and treats you like family. With less than 3,000 students, it is a tight-knit, unifying community that holds itself together through our sports teams, culture and robust events such as the Spring Concert, and Brother Mikes. There is so much to love about Stonehill, the only reason it is not a 5 star is due to the quality of food, which is actually being fixed as we switch from Sodexo to Bon Appetit. Anyone who wants a small school with dedicated professors should choose Stonehill College.

Kayla - 05/23/2020

I think Stonehill is a great school, but it small so everyone knows everyone. The academics are good, but you will have the same people in your specified major classes. The parties are hit or miss, but it can be fun if you go out with your friends and have a good time!

Jenna - 05/10/2020

Academically, one of the best colleges in US. The small class sizes allow professors to really focus on your work personally, as well let you seek help easily from professors if needed. Socially, not one of the best colleges in the US. The school attracts many of the same type of people - therefore there is a lack in diversity and experiences. You will run in to the same people every day, which does build a strong community feeling however also a clique-like high school feeling. I am glad I went there because I know my professional career will benefit, but I feel lucky to have found the friends I did.

Kendall - 01/11/2019

Stonehill College is a very nice school. On campus, there are a lot of opportunities for students to do anything they want. They can join any club, group, sport or any activities they would like. I am a first year student and I am a part of the Stonehill College club cheerleading team. I am also a part of Art Club, Best Buddies, and Education Society. I feel accepted in every activity I am a part of. They also give you opportunities to explore more about your major with different field placements and internships. There is not a lot of judgement at Stonehill College. We are a very diverse and inclusive community. Professors at Stonehill College are very good at responding to emails and getting back to students quickly. They are also good at helping their students and providing a lot of office hours for any questions students may have or to meet with them individually. There is also a lot of extra help provided beyond the classroom, which is very helpful. Professors are also very understanding and want you to be successful. Although work may be challenging, they give you many opportunities to help yourself succeed. I think Stonehill College is great and everyone feels accepted their. Being a part of our own campus altogether, many students get along and it is like we are one big family. Although I am a first year student, I cannot wait for many more years to come at Stonehill College.

  7. What's unique about your campus?

    At Stonehill, I believe the best things are the dorms along with an excellent curriculum to allow the students to grow academically and morally. The dorm rooms are, in my opinion, above average in size and well kept by staff, which I believe keeps the students happier. Since Stonehill is a medium sized school, you easily grow a relationship with your professors. I for one have grown a strong relationship with mine, which has allowed me to thrive academically and morally. The workload is a lot to handle sometimes but with dedication it is always possible.

  21. What are the academics like at your school?

    Stonehill's academics are challenging, and prepare you for the "real world". We have small class sizes, with professors who take the time to get to know their students. It is not unusual to have dinner with a professor, or to spend an hour in a professor's office just chatting. There are many opportunities for students to work alongside professors, and to partake in projects and experiences in their academic discipline. As an education and psychology double major, I have spent many semester hours in classrooms and in practicum settings. These experiences have allowed me to apply the things I have learned in the classroom to real life situations.
