Hiwassee College

In my opinion, Hiwassee had the potential to be an amazing school. The view of the mountains in the mornings and evenings is beautiful, student life is awesome, and even though it is a small school, we were all one big family. With all the money the school received, more improvements to the facilities could have been made, but due to poor decisions that were made, Hiwassee will sadly be closing May 10, 2019.

I have attended Hiwassee College for two years and for the most part, I enjoyed it. The volleyball team was great and the students were always there to support the athletic program. Most of the teachers cared about pour success and were there for us in and out of the classroom, no matter what the issues was. The dorms were on of the main reasons I moved off campus after my Freshman year. Not only were the floors falling apart in the rooms, there was black mold coming through the walls, crawling up the bathroom showers, and stink bugs completely infested the place. After many arguments with the president and the board, nothing was changed. A few days ago we were all informed that the college would be closing their doors officially in May. As we all struggle to understand what caused the president of our school to embezzle of 70 thousand dollars, we keep fighting as a student body to find new colleges together. For these reasons Hiwassee College is one of the best and worst schools I could ever attend.

Great school with a small hometown vibe. The campus is nice, the dorms were comfortable and clean. The staff was friendly and very helpful on my tour of the campus. Looking forward to possibly attending this college in the fall of 2019 to play softball and further my education.

My overall opinion is that Hiwassee College is a good school, the student life, college life, and sports surrounding it are all well. Like any other college or university in this world Hiwassee has areas that it could improve in, and hopefully they will make them.

I think this is an excellent school, great staff who work with you and are very understanding and love to help with anything. The sports is the top notch program and inspires the students. Also the academics are where its at and its a great place to learn and build.

Hiwassee has a very welcoming and comforting atmosphere. The faculty and staff are very helpful and polite. The classes are small enough that the professors can have one on one time and make sure they understand everything that they need to. The campus is beautiful!

I have only been to Hiwassee College one time, but that one time there got me hooked! I can't wait to attend there in the Fall of 2018 for the Equine Management and Training Degree! I would recommend this school to anyone looking for a safe, friendly, healthy college environment!

It’s a great school with amazing people, they have a good heart and are up close and personal with the students. I have been giving the opportunity to to grow my brain capacity, excell athletically, and impact lives. It’s has been an eye opener for the true way the world works and has be a key role in preparing me for life

Hiwassee is a very caring school, no matter the time of day the teachers are always willing to talk to you and help with whatever is needed. The campus is very beautiful and it’s nice to sit outside in the hammocks some days and just admire the campus. Hiwassee is very big on sports, while not everyone will get along all the time all the athletes always encourage others to do better because we all want to see each other succeed. The class sizes are perfect, they aren’t to small but also aren’t to big. The professors are available for one on one time to study and that makes things easier, especially if there is something you don’t understand. I’ve attended hiwassee for 3 semesters now, starting while I was actually still in high school and it has been an amazing experience.

I love Hiwassee College, because it is a smaller quant facility. So far the faculty and staff has gone out of their way to make me feel welcomed, helping making a smooth transition and answering any questions I may have. I really like the personal feel they give and how it is a christian college. It would be an honor to attend here.
