Campus Visit Notes for Hollins University


Visit Description:

Overall, this is a wonderful choice for a young woman who is looking for a small liberal arts college that will take the time to get to know who she is-and support her on her journey into adulthood. From our first contact with Hollins, I felt that my daughter was treated as a unique individual. This did not happen everywhere she applied.
