Spring Hill College

If you are going into science go to the University of Alabama. This school has a strong chemistry and biology department, but it lacks experience that students need to succeed in the workforce. This school does not have too many internships for you to gain experience. In other schools that I have visited, they have undergraduate research with industrial companies. This undergraduate research is required for graduation and I have seen this help students. Unfortunately, this school does not have this program for some undergraduate degrees. In addition, on December 19, 2014 an individual working for financial aid was caught for embezzling 180,000 dollars from this school from 2010-2014. If I was a new student, I would not go to this school because you don't know where your money will go in this school. I would recommend if you do go to this school to carefully plan out your time here and do not major in a science at this school. Sometimes, it can take you more than four years to complete a B.S. degree in Chemistry, Biology, or Biochemistry. Your money and time are best spent in another school that does not cost 40,000 a year. If you try to get a degree in a science, transfer classes in and take as many credits as you can handle each semester. Good luck with this school.

Alumnus Male -- Class 2000

Do not go to Spring Hill if you want a college experience. This is like high school all over again. You meet the same people everyday and do the same ting every day. A better way to describe this hell hole of a school is that its a boarding school. The only good thing about this school is that it's pretty. I have 2 good professors and the rest are absolute crap. The math dept. is pathetic. You have to do online notes and homework and the Nursing Dept. here is a joke. If you want to become a nurse skip this school. It is know to have a horrible nursing program. Night life is a joke all the bars in downtown mobile are a joke and you just waste a ton of money for cover charges. Another thing is that this school is very expensive even with a scholarship you have to pay abot 43 thousand dollars to go her with out a scholarship and i got the biggest scholarship of 25,000 and my parents are literally paying out the wazoo for me to go to this shit hole. When you are a senior you get to the in the good ole apartments. They are crap. One is condemned thanks to the negligence of the staff. If you decide to go here, you won't be seeing me because Im transferring the hell out of here to Alabama or LSU.

Campus Aesthetics: A, Useful Schoolwork: D-

Do not come to this school unless you are white, southern, and rich. Those are the kind of people that you will run into on campus.The majority of the students are Greek, and if you are not there will be nothing for you to do whether it is on campus or off campus. If you are looking for a college experience, forget about SHC. You will be attending high school all over again. Rumors run rampant and everyone is more concerned with the business others than their own boring lives. Everyone knows everyone, and you will not be able to get away from that whether is be on campus or downtown. There are no clubs, no sports that are worth watching, with the exception of the baseball team. Nightlife is a joke. People wander around the senior apartments and just let themselves in. You will see the same people every night at the same bars on Thursday nights. As for the nursing program, it is a joke. SHC nursing students are oftentimes looked down upon by other schools nursing students for their incompetence during clinicals. Overall I wasted a lot of time and money at Spring Hill, and I will be transferring as soon as possible. One good thing I can say about this school is that the majority of the faculty have been more than helpful and most of them are very knowledgeable and qualified in their field.
