Student Life at Hillsdale College

It's been a wonderful beginning to the 2015-16 academic year, and we can't wait for the all of the adventures to come. In the first few days on campus, the class of 2019 moved in, attended Convocation, played games at Hayden Park, learned about the Honor Code from president Arnn and had dessert at his home, heard Dr. Whalen speak about the motto, rocked out at the Welcome Party, found clubs and IM sports to join at The Source, and, of course, began classes.
