Huntingdon is a amazing place great people and wonderful scenery. Staff was super helpful. The old campus made me feel at home it’s like stepping into the past with updates in classrooms and teachers. They were down home and try to make everyone feel at home.
Zach
I love Huntingdon! It's people friendly and such a great campus! The Athletics are amazingly good and will always have a pretty good football and baseball team with the coaching staff that is there. The best part about the entire college is that we all get along and make the best of where we are and what we will be doing in the future.
Jana
It’s a wonderful college and campus. Everyone is nice. There is no bullying. The professors are always there when you need them, even if it is in the middle of the night. No student gets left behind. The library is always open to students in case someone needs to study. The dorms are always clean.
Skye
Cannot wait to start in 2019. Best campus tour and experience. I have toured multiple campuses in Florida but have choosen an out of State college based on the degree choices, athletic department, campus life and character of the campus. It is a diverse school with low teacher student ratios.
Micah
I’m a senior in high school at Jefferson Christian Academy. I think Huntingdon is pretty awesome I recently visited, talked with admissions, and the Basketball coaching staff. The Whole staff was so welcoming, they treated me like a 5-star recruit. I was overall very satisfied with the people on campus and my visit.
Jesse
Great family feel when you’re at Huntingdon college. It’s a smaller school so it is very easy to get to know all of your peers. School is very beautiful and prestigious to be a small private liberal arts college. Favorite part about attending Huntingdon was smaller class size, this allows you to really get to know your professor.
Jade
A family atmosphere, easy to get to know new people, and a warm welcome when becoming a hawks! Hawk em'!

Great school just very expensive
Marla
I am currently a high school senior. But I have made several visits to Huntingdon college campus. I even performed with the marching band during the Homecoming game. The faculty and administration have been awesome. They are very accommodating to the concerns of high school students coming in and to their parents who worry about sending their son or daughter off to college. This is a private owned, Christian backed college so there isn't a huge party life problem. . I am excited to attend this fall!
Brianna
Overall, I love Huntingdon College. The campus is absolutely beautiful, the staff and professors are friendly, and the education is challenging, yet very rewarding. The buildings could use a little updating, however, that would be the only small negative that I have about this wonderful school.
Bethany
Huntingdon College is a very good college. The faculty are very professional and knowledgeable in their jobs but will also make you feel at home. There is a variety of extracurricular activities to participate in and something for everyone to be a part of. Academics are just as important as athletics and vice versa. Campus security is always available and safety for the students and faculty is a top priority. Huntingdon can be home for everyone.
Taylor
My overall opinion of Huntingdon College is that it is an all- around great school. This school, like many others, has its flaws; nonetheless, this school is the best fit for me. Huntingdon College is located in Alabama, right outside of Downtown Montgomery, which makes it very easy to experience the busy streets of the city between classes. My environment is so welcoming that I almost wonder what my life would be like if I chose another school. I can proudly say that I'm glad I didn't, because I have grown to love my school and am proud to be a Huntingdon Hawk! From the amazing academic opportunities, to the bone chilling sporting events, to the community service opportunities, to the block parties with the president, my college never seizes to amaze me!
Tacorious
Huntingdon is a great college and has a great campus. Its environment is great because it feels more like a close knit family more than anything. Its great for not only academics but the sports programs and degree plans that they offer are like no other!
Debora
The evening classes combine with the accelerated program for classes are allowing me to complete my business degree and work a full time job. Without these programs through Huntingdon College it would take me much longer to complete my degree. The locations are another great benefit to these programs.
Alexis

What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?
I wish I would have focused more on work and studying. Then I would have been more prepared for when I came to Huntingdon. However, it is still a great school no matter how much work put on you.
What kind of person should not attend this school?
If you are one who prefers a big campus that does not offer a family feeling amoung the students then you should not attend Huntingdon College. If you would prefer to go to a school that lets you sit in a corner and be shy and not involved then you should not attend this school. Huntingdon's students do not allow you to be shy, they help you to find the best possible you and bring you out of your shell.
Describe how your school looks to someone who's never seen it.
My college is actually a pretty good school. I would like for there to be more cultural diverse activities at my school...but with work i believe it might turn out for the best. There is a lot of school spirit, and the staff is wonderful....the fianacial aid office did wonders for me.
I love that Huntingdon College offers their Adult Degree Completion Program so that professionals can take classes while pursuing their careers. We meet one night per week for 3 consecutive "sessions" each semester. I am a full time college student and I don't have to give up my full time job in order to take classes. I don't have to take online classes--I get to have instruction from an actual teacher in an actual classroom setting.
Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!
The fact that it is a small liberal arts college really gives you the opportunity to have a one on one professional relationship with your professors. Unlike a large university where that is not really an option.
What's the most frustrating thing about your school?
The administrators are not in tune with the students needs. They are too concerned about the colleges image and not concerned enough about what the student body needs. The school has a dry campus policy which would be fine but the school uses this to persecute students who deviate from this dry policy which hurts retention rate incredibly. The biggest problem with our school is the Provost, Sid Stubbs. He is not concerned at all with the students and is making it his goal to make it incredibly difficult to graduate.
What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?
Huntingdon College has over 95{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} first choice placements in grad schools and jobs/careers. This almost garuntees that with hard work and dedication I will be able to find a good career of my choice possibly before I even Graduate. Huntingdon is truly equiping me to for the future!
