This is an epic school. They have clearly been revamping their facilities and basically have weight rooms in every dorm.

The campus is beautiful, the professors are brilliant, and there is alway someone there to help when you need it.
Overall 4.6
It's the people. That's why I came, that's why I'm here. You might not sleep much, but the classes are so rewarding, the activities are exciting, and the people are life changing.

Forget the "Ivy Leagues" and other overpriced "elite"colleges . .they are finished At Hillsdale, you will experience and earn a true EDUCATION

Hillsdale College has impressed me more as a student here than it did as a prospective student. The teaching here and its focus are incredible, great place with great people.
Overall 4.5
Hillsdale can be a great place to learn if you know what you're getting into. It's gotten a divided reputation as being a champion of liberty or as a far right wing college, but from my experience here, that's mostly the façade parents and donors see We're normal students, professors are normal adults, except they really care about us and know us
Overall 4.5
Love the facilities here. Lots of money into them.
Overall 4.5
I have absolutely loved my time attending Hillsdale College, and even though it isn't "known" for its sciences this school has a great science department. I personally am a Biology major with a Biochemistry minor and in undergrad have been able to work on cadavers and do my own research under a Professor.
Overall 4.5
Best College in the US.
Bad reviews
Overall 1.6
Way overrated as a school. Too political and too obsessed with itself. Hillsdale is good, but most of its departments just suck. Four years here and I can say I won't miss the stuck-up administration at all.
