Good reviews
Overall 4.7
I absolutely love Hamline, it feels like a little tight knit community of people that all know each other and want the best for each other! Just don’t be afraid to go out of your comfort zone and be a little extroverted and you’ll do great here.

They promise to help you and then they are unapproachable.

Horrible campus and college all around.
Overall 1.8
Dont go here. The area is unsafe and just gross. 100% of my classes are online but we arent provided with relatable internet. Ive had to miss a mandatory training for my internship due to the WiFi, or lack there of. Dont live on campus if you expect clean bathrooms, as people are disgusting and dont clean up after themselves.

The tuition is expensive and the students are unfriendly. I attended the School of Education on campus with Ann Mabbott being the department head. It was awful and I transferred out.
Overall 1.9
Left after one semester. Food was bad. The options for clubs seemed good but then it was very hard to make friends. Campus is nice but the dorms are gross and very low quality for what they cost. Professors were good. Way too expensive.
