Hood College Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about Hood College? Why?

Marie

Not very accomadating to transfer and commuters. As someone who qualifies as both I often feel left out and misinformed. I feel like I am expected to know how the college runs just because I have college experience and my age. Each school is run differently and I wish that the orientation was more informative about the programs of study and what we can expect from the courses offered. The College catalog lists a lot of courses that have not been offered in years according to not just the students, but the professors themselfs.

Michelle

I do not really dislike anything about Hood College. Of course tuition is expensive, but that will be anywhere; at least for me.

Sarah

To be completely honest, I love everything about my college. I do not have anything negative to say about Hood College. The location is not too far from home, but yet, its not too close either. The students are very friendly, as well as the teachers. The sports teams are invigorating and fun, especially the long bus rides that we take every week. To speak on the food, it is delicious; it is better than any other cafeteria food that I have tried- and there is a ton of variety. All in all, Hood College is great. I cannot complain.

Eleanor

I would say that the worst thing about Hood College would be the food, which is often gross and unappealing. The kitchen has been known not to listen to people with allergic needs (they've often served gluten to my friend who can't eat it), and they just generally don't seem to really care about what they're feeding their students. It's a step up from a high school cafeteria, but not by much.

Shannon

The worst thing about my school is the lack of school spirit. We do not have a football team so our school spirit is low and do not often take a lot of pride in the college that we attend.

Benjamin

The worst thing about the school is the cost. It is expensive because it is private.

Cory

The tution is very exspenive. I believe if the tution was to be lowered in a resonable manner, more students would apply to the college because of it's high graduation rate and the numerous scholarships offered to the students.

Jessica

Hands down I believe that the food is the worst thing about Hood College. While the administrrtion likes to say, "its not mom's home cooking, but you can alway find something", its no comfort to my growling stomach. I'm still hugry after lunch three days a week sometimes. And, because of unsanitary practices people have gotten food poisoning from a number of items.

Danielle

The worst thing about my school is the price. Being a private school, the tuition is relatively high. However, our financial aid office really helps you find the money so it can be affordable and the amazing education students receive here makes it well worth it! My advice is to not let the price discourage you.

Dallas

I would consider the athletic department the worst because the gym is almost non-existent and is in very bad shape.

Denise

The worst thing about my school has to be the cost. That is the only thing I can think that I don't like about it.

Lloyd

The worst aspect of Hood College is the overall cost of tuition and books. Personally, I receive financial aid from the school but it is not enough to cover the entirety of my need. I do not have any personal funds to draw upon in order to pay for college and the money involved in paying what is left of my tuition and buying textbooks is a strain on my resources and the resources of my family.

Victoria

I really don't think that there is anything inherently bad about my school. Sure, there are things that upset me, but these seem to be due to more personal reasons than anything else. It's not necessarily the school's fault.

Michael

The cost of the school is extremely large. A lot of what you are paying it seems like it does not have to be that high.

Garvis-Govanni

Hood College's location would probably be the worst thing about the school. The number of places to go and things to do off campus are limited.

Michelle

The worst thing about Hood College would have to be that they spend so much money on promoting the college, instead of actually fixing current buildings, like the residential dorms, and the price to attend is outrageous, but then again so are most colleges. Other than that, the college is great.

Claire

Parking at Hood College as a commuter is a pain. I park off campus and walk but it isn't that bad unless it's raining.

Samantha

Their bulidings are very old.

YAUHENIYA

FOOD IS NOT FREE

Jessica

Nothing. There are too many positives to remember the negatives.
