Students come to Hiram College seeking a very community-based environ簫ment that provides not only a feeling of immediate comfort but also the appeal of being in close relationship with my professors, and few leave disappointed. Undergrads here love how involved all of the professors are into guiding the students through not just classes and majors, but future plans and career paths and praise the big-school opportunities in a small-school environment. As one student points out, Undergrads can work in research with professors here, which is an invaluable skill and great for r矇sum矇s. Students tell us Hiram boasts a great biology program that does well getting its students into veterinary and medical school, a great education program, and strong offerings in environ簫mental science. Throughout the school small classes of no more than thirty students and the intimate nature of the learning [environment] keep us from feel簫ing lost in a sea of students. A unique semester system splits terms into a twelve-week main session followed by a three-week intensive class. It gives you fewer classes to have to take all at once, and the three-week is a great opportu簫nity for electives or study abroad trips that I couldnt do for a whole semester for financial reasons or because I cant spare that time away from my major.
