Hamline University Reviews

"As a student athlete from Hamline University I had a wonderful undergraduate experience. Being a smaller institution, Hamline University provides you with a unique, personal learning experience. I was able to create personal relationships with professors, advisors and peers who were studying similar subjects. Both the professional and personal relationships I formed during my college experience allowed me to grow in ways I couldnt have imagined. My academic advisors helped me achieve great success in being accepted into graduate school to receive my doctorate in Occupational Therapy. This could not have been possible without the support and resources that I received at Hamline University. Hamline is unique in that every student is required to take part in an internship or research. By becoming exposed in real world professional settings, you are better able to apply what you learn in the classroom to your real life experiences. Hamline University is not just another college to receive a degree, they provide you with the necessary resources to succeed in your future."

"For a small school, there are many opportunities of which to take advantage. If the class isn't offered at Hamline, you can simply take classes at other local colleges, often for free! I majored in the sciences, so I was able to do undergraduate research at the University of Minnesota and therefore was able to more competitive when applying to graduate school, but without having to sit through lectures with 500 other students. I met great people there and there was a very significant emphasis on inclusivity and empathy."

"Hamline University provided me with both broad skills that are applicable to any occupation such as oral communication, analytical questioning, research, and writing. Classes were relatively small, allowing for close relationships with the professors and personal attention. Every class encouraged me to incorporate my own life and educational experiences, consider alternative ideas, collaborate with others, and question what I know. I couldn't have received a better and more personal educational experience elsewhere."

"My experience at Hamline was positive in terms of the quality of teaching in the classes and the organized format of the assignments. It was also typically practical. Some of the standard general education courses were pedantic and not as engaging, but overall my experience was positive and helped prepare me for my profession."

"Don't be fooled, this school boasts of it's wonderful diversity but it silences all dissenting opinion. The administration is unhelpful and the degree is useless. There is no school spirit, no one comes out for events and everyone goes home on weekends. It's also one of the more expensive schools out there, avoid it."

"Waste of money, teachers don't care, plan doesn't allow you to pick classes that'll actually benefit you."
