Looking Forward
Happy October, everyone! Now that it’s fall and the summer atmosphere is gone, the stresses of school are kicking in.

Welcome back! It’s officially 2013 and we made it past the “end of the world” according to the Mayan calendar. During this Christmas break, I was able to truly relax from the stresses of school and brace myself for yet another challenging semester. Even though classes are a bummer, it’s always good to be back …
Labs and Cadavers…Oh My!
Hey there everyone! So a major thing that prospective students, as well as parents who are looking at schools with their children, ask is, “How are the academics?” Well, besides the small class sizes, Hope offers some of the best academic programs around.
