Review of Hardin-Simmons University

from Desoto, TX

Describe your college in three sentences.

Hardin-Simmons is a family where as you walk to class you know almost every person you pass. Hardin-Simmons is a place of freedom to serve and speak about Jesus. Hardin-Simmons is an education enlightened by faith where the teachers care about the students on a personal level and because of this we are able to be scholars in our fields.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

If you are interested in a small school that you can feel part of a family while being accepted for your beliefs and getting a great education, check out Hardin-Simmons. One experience with the friendly community and you will fall in love with it.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

Hardin-Simmons is serious about academics and strives to set us in the work world at the top of employers' lists. Because of the small class setting, we are able to do many more speeches and hands on projects to give us real world experience.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Living on campus was a great experience for me! The directors and RAs are always busy making dorm life a memorable and great part of college. The dorms are great and surprisingly became home to me!

Describe the food and dining at your college.

While the cafeteria on campus is definitely not one of the best parts of campus, the food is good enough to be happy with and bad enough to be excited to get home cooking! Plus there is an all you can eat Blue Bell ice cream bar!

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

Student Activities at Hardin-Simmons is continually hosting events on campus to keep us having fun, getting needed breaks from studying, and getting to know each other. There is also free bowling, pool, ping pong, swimming, and gaming systems always available for study breaks and hang outs!

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

I could not ask for a better school for this price! The campus is absolutely gorgeous and the education you receive is priceless.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Any student who is serious about their education, faith, and friendships will love Hardin-Simmons University.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Our campus features something for every student including service clubs, intramurals, newspaper, annual All School SING!, choir, and many more opportunities to get involved.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Our campus has seven social clubs that are far from the sororities and fraternities seen at many larger schools. Our social clubs focus on the sister and brotherhood of their clubs while serving Christ and others.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

Our campus cops are always on patrol and just a short call away. I have never felt unsafe on campus as the university works hard to make it a secure and safe place for the students.
