Prospective Students: We’re Glad you Asked!
“Why did you choose Hollins?” “What are my housing options?” “What is a normal day like on campus?” “What do you do for fun?” “How does Hollins prepare you for life after college?” Students and faculty address several of the common questions prospective students ask about the Hollins experience when conducting their college search.
