Mayim - 10/03/2020

Hillsdale is a great place to go if you're looking for an affordable liberal arts college where you are free to study many things before choosing your major. The faculty and academics are unmatched, and campus culture is very friendly and welcoming. However, this is not a good college to go to if you are LGBT+, disabled, neurodivergent, or even politically liberal. While the students and faculty are generally openminded and willing to listen to diverse opinions, the administration is controlled by conservative donors, and students can be punished for everything from extramarital sex to dressing in a way that's considered atypical for their gender. Many students have a great experience at Hillsdale, but it's because they never run into the harsh consequences for breaking the norm that await between the lines of the Honor Code and in the deans' offices. There is also no sexual assault policy or prevention education on campus, leaving women vulnerable to great harm should something happen to them. So while I will always have a great love for the students I met at Hillsdale and the wonderful professors who helped me become who I am during my time as a student, I cannot say that I would send my son or daughter there until significant reforms are made.
