Emma

Freshman · Education

Hope College has been an amazing experience for me, and I'm so happy I choose to go here for the next four years. I love the community, the professors, and the atmosphere. It being a Christian college, having a community of christians to worship with has been so wonderful. SAC always puts on really fun events for students, such as Coffeehouse every Thursday. There are many clubs to participate in, from knitting to chemistry to hip hop club. Hope is really special.
