Impressions of Hiram from someone who knows an alum but has never been there:

Known for a profound culture of friendliness - student to student and student to faculty.
Classic liberal arts curriculum and campus.
A bit smaller than most LACs.
Small town ambience, but within an hour of Cleveland.
You might be the most highly-qualified student there. Pro: That could produce a merit scholarship. Con: The scholarship will be primarily for the purpose of having you inspire your peers - not primarily for you to be inspired by them.
It’s one of the limited number of colleges to be the Alma Mater of a President (Garfield).
Hiram would not be a particularly “prestigious” college choice, but it would certainly be a respected choice among those familiar with LACs.
