Student services

The Office of International Student Services offers services and programs to help international students transition to their new surroundings, support academic and personal goals and understand cultural adjustment issues.

The services provided by the office include immigration advising for international students in accordance with the regulations set forth by the United States Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS), host family placements, international buddies and cross cultural activities.

Housing services

In addition to taking classes and participating in extracurricular activities, you're going to be a part of a vibrant community (and perhaps even live here) for four years—as Hood's comfortable campus environment has a lot to offer.

In residence halls, the Whitaker Campus Center, Coblentz dining room, and other buildings all over campus, you’ll make friends, cook family-style dinners, form study groups and find numerous other ways to connect with fellow students. You’ll learn not only what it means to be part of a community, but also how to take care of yourself—with resources like the counseling center, chapel, RAs and wellness center offering the support you might need.

Library services

The mission of the Beneficial-Hodson Library is to support the curricular and informational needs of students, faculty, and staff by providing expedient and appropriate library resources, instruction, and assistance.

ICT services

Hood’s information technology is accessible on campus from all classrooms and residence hall rooms and off campus via the Internet. The residence halls are connected to the campus fiber optic network. From their own computers, students can access the Internet from their rooms, send email, print documents, consult course materials from the Hood’s Blackboard Learning Management System.

Medical services

The Hood College Health Center supports the mission of the College to enhance the academic growth and health of all students. The Health Center provides quality medical and preventative health care, educates students about healthy choices and empowers them to make informed decisions in an environment that respects privacy, dignity and diversity.

Campus life

Hood students have their pick of beautiful, comfortable spaces for relaxing, studying, grabbing a bite to eat or hanging out with friends. A few examples:

  • A hub of student life at Hood, Whitaker Campus Center is where students go to play a game of pool, visit the Student Life Suite, and enjoy delicious meals at The Blazer.
  • One of the most lively, social spots on campus, Coblentz dining room is where students catch up over healthy, delicious meals.
  • All the residence halls—Coblentz, Memorial, Meyran, Shriner and Smith—have lounges where students cook, kick back and attend pizza parties, movie nights and health education programs.
