Very small and friendly college

Small school with supportive and caring teachers and staff. I had a great educational experience at Hiram college and made many fun memories with my friends. Highly recommend this college if you want a close knit experience where you are known by name and not just a number.

I am only giving Hiram one star because I have to. This school has done nothing but push me away from a successful future. They told me I would be eligible for a handful of jobs after graduating, and yet no job has given me a position because my education is not what they are looking for. When I confronted Hiram about my experience, they basically said “it is was it is”. Then when going through Hiram career services, the staff members show me the worst job opportunities. They do not take my preferences into consideration at all. The professors are a joke- I felt they were not truly prepared to teach the courses and would ramble on for hours. I took the same course twice, but under two different names so Hiram could charge me twice. Hiram is definitely for profit (even though Hiram says otherwise). I was in the partnership program which means we were not Hiram’s top priority. By my second semester, I was told by my counselor that the program I was in was being taken out of the partnership program. After the announcement, I noticed the quality of my education tank. I had the same professor for most of my courses- the professor did not really know what they were talking about. A Hiram official openly admitted that my program did not have quality professors for my program, but yet the courses were still taught anyways, and Hiram took my money without hesitation. This college has definitely destroyed my idea that college helps you get far in life. My whole Hiram experience has been an absolute nightmare. My degree is completely useless- within two years of graduating, I cannot get any level of job (entry level, internship, requires a bachelor’s degree, etc.) I apply for because the companies I have interest in and jobs I was told I was qualified for do not want my educational background. Save your money and stay with your community college and get a certification. My community college was significantly better than Hiram- my community college actually cared about me, wanted me to succeed in life, and did not charge me an outrageous amount of money for courses. Hiram takes advantage of their students in every way possible. Overall, Hiram is an unprofessional institution and charges way too much for a glorified high school diploma.

A great small liberal arts college, the staff and faculty seem to be genuinely interested in the success of their students. Their political science program also has a respectable intellectual family three if you decide to take on of Dr. Kortanskiys classes.

Small town, small college, big memories. Wonderful off beaten path area with charming shops and restaurants in the surrounding area.
