fiskeHollins University is among “the best and most interesting colleges and universities in the United States, Canada, and Great Britain” according to the Fiske Guide to Colleges 2013. Compiled by former New York Times education editor Edward B. Fiske, the guide is described as “a selective, subjective, and systematic look at 300-plus colleges and universities.” The Fiske Guide‘s profile of Hollins features a number of student testimonials in addition to overviews of student life and the university’s academic program. One senior describes Hollins as “a close-knit community that fosters creative minds and ambitious spirits,” another says the university “has continually pushed me to be better, to achieve more, and to experience more,” and a third states, “Hollins is a great school that empowers women.” In addition, the guide includes Hollins in the following categories: “Small Colleges and Universities Strong in Art or Design,” “Small Colleges Strong in Film/Television,” and “Small Colleges and Universities Strong in Dance.”
