I attended Mars Hill 1975-1977. I met my husband there and only transferred when he decided to return home and work for awhile before returning to school. I am still in contact with many of the friends I had there and have found the college's reputation and my education there to be excellent!

We took our son to see this college,he was invited by the mens soccer coach.The location alone is enough to sell you,the scenery is breathtaking!The school is small and friendly.Its a school that you would certainly feel like a student and not a number.If your from out-of-town im sure it would take no time to feel at home at this college
