“The scientific education I received at Hillsdale was of the highest quality; the Biology department couldn’t have done a better job preparing me for graduate school."
“Hillsdale’s professors and coaches help you find opportunities to grow from a challenge. You become more capable, more willing to give yourself to others. It’s really true that strength rejoices in the challenge.”
“If anyone is interested in big ideas and discussing them with others who care—who honestly care—that their ideas have consequences and are striving to find the best ones, I know of no place better for their education than Hillsdale.”
“Because learning what’s worth knowing takes work, so many practical skills follow naturally from a Hillsdale education.”
