What qualities do you have that have best prepared you for success at this institution?

The most important quality you have to have at HSSU is time management. It’s going to be a lot of different events and things going on but you have to maintain your schoolwork because essentially this is what you are here for , your education .

How would you describe the dorm life at this school?

The dorms are pretty cool. it’s not like most colleges with communal bathrooms. you get your own bathroom. the dorms are set up as mini apartments actually.

How would you describe the food and dining options?

the food is really good actually, it’s different every day

Are there any quirky or unique traditions that make your college special?

The homecomings and springfests are actually fun.
