Welcome to the Birmingham-Southern College Admission Blog. We have created this space for college counselors and students to learn more about the college search process in general and specifically how it relates to Birmingham-Southern. Some questions answered:
What is up with the name ‘Hilltop’?
Birmingham-Southern is located on a hill (I don’t think it has a name) just outside of downtown Birmingham. Our students affectionately call campus “The Hilltop”. So, Hello from the Hilltop!
Who is writing this?
You will always see the author of the posts. Most will be written by me — Trent Gilbert, Vice President for Enrollment and the rest of the team here in Admissions at BSC. Even things written by me are often the product of conversations with the team here, other professionals and articles.
How often will we post?
As often as we have something to say/share. We will also be sending out a monthly recap to counselors of some highlights for you to review.
Aren’t there tons of admission blogs out there?
Yes and no. There are few long standing and popular blogs that are written from schools very different from Birmingham-Southern. As a small liberal arts college, we do things a bit differently here. We do things more customized and personal, and that is what you will get from this blog.
Like everything, this blog is a work in progress. If there is something you want to see or a topic you want covered, just drop me a line.
So…”Hello from the Hilltop!”
Trent
