    So sorry this is long, but it's super informational from a student's perspective!!…read moreSo glad I chose Hope College! Myself and a lot of my friends here were deciding between Hope and the University of Michigan and we are all beyond happy that we made the decision to come here! I have a disability and the Disability and Accessibility resources center does So much for me, along with all of the professors being so kind and caring and going above and beyond to help me through my medical struggle. I am also a part of Greek Life here on campus and it is incredible to be able to have such a tight knit group of friends that are always supporting me and helping me. We have bible studies and we study for our classes all together. Being in Greek life here also strongly encourages excellent academic performance and so many community service opportunities! The average GPA at Hope College is a little bit above a 3.3 and it is in no small part due to the incredible care and time our professors and school put into our education. Free tutoring is available for all students along with a lot of 1 on 1 opportunities to get help from professors! The research opportunities are great here as well, with students being allowed to begin research as soon as freshman year! I feel safe at Hope College, mentally and physically, and it is an incredible first step out into the real world.

    My husband and I both grew up in families where our parents went to Hope and we attended community…read moreevents throughout our "growing years" so we had both always planned on Hope! Loved the beautiful campus and smaller size student body, loved the many social activities, (sororities and fraternities), loved the professors for the most part, and LOVED the many opportunities for Christian growth. We loved our dorms BACK THEN in the 1990's in Dykstra and Kollen. We're hearing about mold in the dorms now. Uh, you need to work on the up-keep people. Hope always likes "looking good" on the outside with beautiful landscaping, and new buildings, etc.but not as much for student living (behind the scenes). My Dad was a major contributor in helping for these things to happen. One major negative is the basketball team's lack of community. My husband played basketball and VanWieren never bothered to have relationships with the guys who did not live and breathe basketball. He was also in Chapel Choir, and that did not go over very well! Very little team bonding took place off the court. Opportunities for this did not happen. He lived with 2 other players but knew virtually nothing about the others. My husband put 4 very hard working and rewarding years into the team with me along for the ride as his girlfriend! Fun! Didn't seem to count for much. Here's the scary part...... The 3 coaches came to our wedding, left very quickly thereafter, didn't stay for the reception and are you ready for this? They gave us a gift of 29 cent baskets. Horrifying I know. The youngest coach of all never even had conversations with us when we'd see him at Christ Memorial, etc. Well, that's our take. We still enjoyed our years there, despite all of the "team stuff", and have never regretted going there. GO HOPE.
