I love going to al the local libraries here in Mobile, AL. My favorite is the Moore Branch Library…read morewhere I have made friends and several acquaintances there. My major complaint is that the circulation department at West Regional is extremely slow. In particular the library purchases movies for rental. The circulation/preparation department then sits on them for six to eight weeks after release date before making them available to rent. Now on average new release movies cost from $15.00 to $35.00 each. In most cases they will purchase from 12-20 copies of the movie. At the rental rate of 75 cents for a one week rental or the same amount for a three week rental of T.V. shows by the time they are available to rent the library never recoups the initial investment for each title. This is my major beef. The library uses taxpayer funds to make these purchases knowing full well they are going to lose money on each title. It used to not be this way. What can be done? Probably nothing. Who can fight governmental organizations and win!!!

Such a great university!…read more While the building is nice, I do think the actual library is subpar; it's more of a common area for students to be social than an academic space for quiet studying, research, reading, etc. The second floor of the building is the "library," but it's mostly couches, some tables and chairs, table games, board games, arcade games, TVs... The actual "library" is very small area of the second floor, marking one side of the second floor of the building. There aren't a ton of books, I think there is ONE private study room (on a first-come, first-served basis), and it's very sad compared to South's library: several floors of MANY books, a lot of computers, MANY private study rooms for groups as well as cubicle areas, and it's understood and enforced to be respectful and quiet there. As a nursing student, it was a bit disappointing there is no formal library or separate building for the School of Nursing. I love the university, but it would be great to see them do more for the academic settings and rein it back a little on the social ones. The social aspects of the university are great, and while nursing students have privileges to be in certain parts of campus for studying regardless of time of day or semester schedule, I think more students could benefit from a formal library-- away from the relaxed environment of loud socializing-- and private study areas within the library. As far as a building for the SoN, only time will tell how/if the funds could provide that...

Spring Hill College is a Jesuit Catholic institution that truly challenges you academically,…read morespiritually, and personally. My four years on the Hill shaped not only my education, but also my sense of purpose and independence. When I graduated, I felt empowered with a deeper autonomy and a clearer direction for my life. The small campus and close-knit community foster genuine relationships with faculty and staff who are deeply invested in student success. I always felt safe, supported, and known--not just as a student, but as a person. I owe so much of my professional success, lifelong friendships, and even my family to my time at SHC. The impact of Spring Hill College extends far beyond graduation, and I am forever grateful to be part of the Hill family.

Please message me for more information regarding specific instances of the issues below…read more Spring Hill college lives off of the idea that they care about the mind, body and spirit. That is far from the truth. The students and faculty are severely taken advantage of. This school is all about money, money, money. Money in the pockets of those who run it. I am a student and do not feel as if I've gotten a quality education, especially for the tuition prices. Nothing is updated. The science students have no new technology. There are leaks in the ceilings, constant problems with the A/C, blindsiding, high turnover of staff and so much more. Please, please reconsider attending or allowing your child to attend Spring Hill College. It will be more hassle than it's worth.
