Mars Hill, NC
Mars Hill University

As a commuter, I do mostly enjoy MHU. The campus is small and cozy and it's easy to become well acquainted with it. As a smaller campus, it's also quieter and more academically focused. Sometimes I do feel a disconnect because I can't participate with activities or clubs very well. And some days I feel as though commuters are kind of an afterthought, especially in their freshman year. But overall the staff and administration are friendly and there are many great opportunities on campus.

Mars Hill University, while not being the fanciest of schools, has become a second home for me. I have been able to meet so many motivated and amazing people. My professors put my education first and there has never been a time where I felt that my voice or opinions went unheard. There is plenty of opportunities to express my self artistically and I cherish that!

Mars Hill University is not a party school. Also, Mars Hill Unversity is a very small college so everyone will know you by the end of the year in your grade. The dorms here are awful now. Some of them have black mold. Mars Hill keeps changing everything last minute. Tuition goes up every year since I been here.

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.
