Mars Hill, NC
Mars Hill University

This university is a wonderful institution. The people here are welcoming and helpful. They will answer any questions you have. The campus is a beautiful place. The dorms are nice as well. The professors are very welcoming and love to answer your questions. My overall experience was very pleasant.

My overall opinion of Mars Hill University is that it is an amazing college. I've visited the campus twice now and I'm going again in April for my orientation. I will be starting my freshman year in the Fall and I'm extremely excited. All the professors, administrators, students, etc. are kind and welcoming to all, hold a strong faith and will to learn and teach everything they can. The campus is clean and beautiful, including all classrooms and dorms, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who showed even the slightest interest in attending.

It is a great campus with very helpful instructors. It a small campus that feels like home. The one major problem is that there are only a handful of places to eat and the only shopping options are CVS, Ingles and Dollar General. However, Asheville which has numerous shopping an dining options is approximately 20 miles away.

Mars Hill is not the ideal college for some. This campus is a dry campus which means no alcohol and there are only parties at the soccer house. There is not much of a selection of food near campus. The nearest mall is in Asheville, NC which is 25 minutes away. Mars Hill does consist of friendly peers and there are some activities but it does not interest all.

What stood out the most to me was that MHU is not a "huge" college. It is in a small town, small class sizes, and you do not get lost in the crowd. I am 20 min from home, but still live on campus. I enjoy the one on one experience in the smaller classes. I quickly became involved as a freshman, and actually am freshman class president. There are many academic, social, and life hanging opportunities available at MHU.

Mars Hill seems great from an outside look. However when I got here there were hidden fees in my contract, so the scholarship that I received that was supposed to be student debt/ loan free is no longer debt free. There is very very little to do around the campus and theres not much of a student life. The professors seems great, but there should be more to college than just how good professors are. College should not only be about learning but learning how to adult own your own, and make new memories that will last for a lifetime.

Love the small school environment. Love that all my professors know my name and are easy to get in contact with. Staff is very friendly and always willing to help. I also love that there are lots of academic help opportunities for students.

Mars Hill University is an overall descent school, you get what you pay for. The staff and faculty are friendly and willing to help you with whatever is in their power, even though they are not always able to. The university overcharges for it's on-campus housing, and the meal plans are not always the best. The dining hall staff only puts out flavorful food when an important person or tour is scheduled on campus. While there are a few things to do on campus, unless you have a car you have to walk at least a mile to the nearest store.

I love Mars Hill. It's a small school and you make friends instantly. Every teacher I've had has been very helpful and it's very obvious that they love their job. The teachers also show that they care about you as a student, not just a number. When you are not able to make office hours, teachers are willing to meet with you in the cafeteria if absolutely necessary. At Mars Hill I feel like a student, and not a number.

I love the college and the people there. It is nice and the classes are typically small sized. The teachers can work with you one on one. The view walking from my dorm room is gorgeous. It is a beautiful campus and I love the classes and atmosphere of it all.
