Spring Hill College Reviews

"Spring Hill College is a private, liberal arts college in the Catholic, Jesuit tradition. Founded in 1830 and located on the Gulf Coast in Mobile, Alabama, the College is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, and along with being the oldest college or university in the state of Alabama, it was the first Catholic college in the South, is the fifth-oldest Catholic college in the United States. Martin Luther King jr even noted that the College was one of the first Southern schools to integrate, where remnants of this are still available today. Spring Hill received threats from those opposed to the civil rights movement and integration. The school provides a liberal arts education which I strongly recommend for anyone who wants to have a well rounded education or is unsure as to what they would like to study. I appreciated the beauty and history of my undergrad campus. I enjoyed the well developed and multi experienced staff on campus. The school is small and focused which allows you to gain the attention you may want in your program. I was able to sharpen my reading, writing, and reasoning skills by the end of my time at the campus. The Jesuit affiliation should not scare individuals from attending, due to the liberal arts approach to education. I felt like my faculty was a representation of individuals from all walks of life far reaching catholic beliefs or influences. With the items you may believe the school may be lacking due to its small size it well invests in you in other ways. The campus has a beautiful golf course, historic greenery, breath taking cathedral, varied school disciplines, quaint surrounding landmarks, and without the distractions of a large city. The experience I had going to Spring hill is one I will carry for the rest of my life and in all future programs and educational opportunities."

"Spring Hill College offers a variety of courses and a study abroad program where you are able to interact with other students from different universities and immerse yourself in Italian culture. The professors prepare you for higher education as well. The classes are very diverse and provide students with an opportunity to partake in many clubs and hold leadership positions. The campus is also very beautiful and small so you get to have relationships with those not only in your classes but also in classes above and below you. The professors are very welcoming and easily establish relationships with students. In fact, I still keep in contact with my professors. There are many opportunities available for social justice and being active within the community. I enjoyed my time there and felt prepared to pursue my master's and now doctorate."

"I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Spring Hill College. The tuition and expenses are high; however, SHC offers many opportunities for scholarship and part-time jobs. My favorite scholarship was the Metropolitan Service Scholarship, which taught me how to work within the community for scholarship money. The staff worked diligently with me to ensure that I was choosing a career path that would benefit me and I would enjoy."

"Spring Hill College is more than a school its really a community and a family. I believe that I will always have a home on "The Hill". The professors really care about your success and the class sizes are small enough that they know you by name and have a personal interest in your success."

"Small school with easy access to instructors. Many times on a first name basis and long term alliances."

"Pros: Small Campus so you get to know the students and professors really well and everyone is really supportive. Classes are offered at night so you can keep working. Most students are adults so professors are very understanding of family and work obligation, The Leadership and Ethics program is a combination of Business and Liberal Arts so you get a practical foundation with fun electives. Cons: The classes offered each semester is limited so it is not always possible to take what you want and still graduate on time. Because most students are adults who live off campus this school does not offer the social circle/life that a lot of colleges do."

"Spring Hill College is an excellent choice for a graduate school. The instructor are consiencious, helpful and available. The courseload is challenging but not prohibitive. All in all I would recomend Spring Hill College to anyone seroiusly considering grad school."
