Hardin Simmons University is a 10! The atmosphere, people and opportunities available here are dynamic. Its one of the best learning environments that I have been around.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
If you are planning to apply or have already applied, I suggest going to the Winter Preview and Early Registration events available to you. I have met most of my professors, incoming freshmen and connected with my roommate. Also, be ready to participate in whatever activities which are available to you.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
As a Theory and Composition Major, I have been able to experience a little bit of the academic side of this school. It seems challenging, but not impossible. And the challenge is welcome!
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I love Behrens hall, the freshman dorm. Its nice and the students who stay there seem to welcome you in as soon as they see you. And Lange Hall, the upper classmen dorm is so spacious. Its older, but it has character and alot of study space.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
School food is school food. But I was surprised to see that the cafeteria features a large variety of foods and they are very appetizing!
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There is a large variety of clubs, sports and activities available on campus. From horse back riding to acapella groups, there are so many opportunities to get involved and have some fun! The basement, the featured gaming center, is smaller but fully equipped for black ops, bowling and Internet splurges.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
This college is a private school, so its a little expensive if you compare it to a community college. However, if you have good grades or a good record of volunteerism or sports, you are able to get a scholarship and other monies which will cover the bulk of your education. I have received most of my tuition and other expenses in full.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
I haven't gotten to see as many traditions as I've heard about. For example: A girl on campus walked into her room and found her dog had died. She says, Oh dammit. So they buried her dog, who everyone loved, by the bridge in the front of the campus. Inscribed on his tombstone are the words, Here lies Dammit.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
There is a variety of majors available at HSU, but the ones which I found the most common were sciences, theology and ministry, and the arts. An odd mix, but great in its own right.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are more clubs available at HSU than I could survey during the days which I spent on campus, but the ones I did get a chance to see at work were fantastic. There are music groups, photography, student government organizations, book studies and even more. Each seems to be an inviting place.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
After talking with a friend who was kind enough to show me around campus, she put me in mind of what it takes to be a pledge at HSU. Full of kind and respectful societies, Greek Life at HSU is not easy, but has its rewards.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
My mother, the true snoop that she is, never allows any of us to go anywhere without knowing whether or not its safe. And after searching and asking alot of questions, she found that its a very safe place.
