Eleanor

I would say that someone who is interested in a small school woudl to very well at Hood College. Hood is, after all, a tiny school, and it also often doesn't have too many things to do (being able to entertain oneself with not much is quite key). You have to be ok with everyone more or less knowing everyone, and also not always have the most exciting things to do. Downtown Frederick is fun, but it's also a long walk in the winter. Someone who doesn't need excitement would do well.

Rachel

A person who, through scholarships or otherwise, can afford the tuition, which is less affordable than advertised. Someone who values the quality of teachers and classes enough to ignore the state of the actual college buildings and facilities.

It is what you have to bring to the table. If you love that sense of a tight-knit community, than Hood College is the place for you. If you do not think its wierd sitting and grabbing a cup of coffee with your teachers', then Hood College is the place for you. Finally, if you just want a different atmostphere, than choose Hood College, located in Frederick, Maryland. I Did!

People at Hood College are all individuals; it is a school for many different people, and while it is difficult to say who SHOULD attend Hood Collge, it is easy to say who should NOT. Hood is not a place for big "party people" because it is a much more relaxed environment. Also, the sports are D3 and are mediocre mostly, therefore those who desire a lot of intense school spirit should not go to Hood.

Anyody can attend Hood because the student body is very diverse. We celebrate numerous relgions and have special events pertaining to each one. Hood hosts quite a few exchange students from other countries including Panama and we have students from a copious amount of races and ethnic backgrounds.

If you're a big drinker or partier, Hood is definitely not for you. There are no fraternities or sororities here.
