    Freshman : Hope College is an absolute gem, though it seems somewhat hidden because of it's small size and quaint location. However, there is no doubt that this is a fantastic place to be educated. I am a member of the dance department and I can speak on behalf of their excellent, top-notch training. They always bring in various guest artists throughout the year (2 which each stay a full semester, even) and host plenty of performance opportunities and auditions. Outside of dancing, the rest of the education at the school is phenomenal! Each class is challenging and engaging, and the professors are very knowledgeable and wise. Each of the staff on campus cares about YOU as an individual and wants to help you succeed in every way possible. You are at an advantage in a smaller pond because you're not just a number, you're important and significant to everyone that you'll meet! Hope has such a warm, friendly, and inviting environment with joy that is contagious! Hope is the place to be :)

    Sophomore : Trinity College is a wonderful university that strives to help its students to become the best achievers they can be! Despite being a small campus, interpersonal relationships are made quickly and regardless of graduation year. One of the biggest things that would be worth changing would be the diversity. The campus is primarily white and there should be a greater outreach to international students and students of color.
