I cannot say enough good things about Hanover! It truly was the perfect school for me to attend. The faculty and staff visibly care about each student as individuals, and if you want to be involved on campus, there are hundreds of opportunities to do so (all it takes is you *deciding* you want to be involved). No, the nearby towns are not 24/7 towns... they are small sleepy towns, but I actually really enjoyed that. I like being able to go into the drugstore and know the people working there. Madison also offers several festivals every year that are great fun if you just want to get out and do something. Hanover is an awesome option for students who are looking for a traditional college experience: residential school, great study abroad opportunities, and a close-knit community that is on a first-name basis with faculty and staff. If this is what you are looking for, I can promise you won't be disappointed!

Hanover College is a wonderful school! Yes, it is a liberal arts school, and you do have to take a lot of random classes that may or may not help out your major. Yet, in the long run, these random classes will help you to develop skills that you will use in other classes and in the real world. HC is situated in a very small town and there aren't very many things to do at night and on the weekends. There is always something going on at the frats, so that is where most people hang out. Yea, they are strict about alcohol, but what school isnt? If you are at a party and security comes in, then all you have to do is go into a room and close the door. You can only get in trouble if you are in the halls. Some of the sports aren't that great, mainly because it is a Division III, which doesn't give out sports scholarships. Yet, there are always talented and willing people to play and help you become a better athlete. The professors are here to help you reach your goals. Some are a little weird and crazy, but most are more reserved. They are always in their offices when they aren't teaching and you can always go to them for help in class or just in life. The Ohio River is basically our backyard and the scenery is beautiful! Clifty Falls State Park is probably 2 miles down the road with mini waterfalls and many walking trails. It's a great environment, and you are definately getting what you pay for.

Liberal arts is not that fun. Many courses have no relevance to one's major and eventually become very time-consuming as a result of the school's high expectations. For freshmen, the school is implementing a "Vision Plan" that if you ask me has little to do with vision and much to do with blindness to the desires of students. It involves a 1.5 week-long orientation program that is about 7 days too long, and ends with a spring term course that all freshmen MUST take at the end of the first year. All in all the administration is about the bottomline: money. You are a number, and they will do what it takes to keep you there to generate tuition. Since the school creates its own liberal arts degree prgram, many of the school's credits do not transfer to another college. Unless you transfer after the first term (and most of the bad parts of the school aren't apparent until after the first year) you are stuck at Hanover because if you did tranfer, you'd have to basically do your entire college education over again. Also, the town itself sucks. There is nothing to do. One more thing: most of the student body is involved in greek life. The tradition is what keeps brigning in students, so the frats and sororities, along with their alumni hold lots of sway.
