Additional Costs
Room and Board The weighted average for room and board and other expenses is generated as follows:
  • (amount for on-campus room, board and other expenses * # of students living on-campus.
  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)
divided by the total # of students. Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation. For some institutions the # of students by living arrangement will be known, but dollar amounts will not be known. In this case the # of students with no corresponding dollar amount will be excluded from the denominator.

As a Secondary Education student I feel like Hendrix is preparing me to be the best teacher I can be. My classes are challenging, engaging, and just plain incredible. They require a lot of work and thought, but that's what I came here for, to learn!
Paige from Eureka Springs, AR
At Hendrix, you are required to take certain core classes which will vastly expand your knowledge and your lexicon. I learned quite a bit about religion in Journeys, a class required to be passed by all students before graduation. In my other classes, I've gone further in depth on subjects than I would have though possible in the semester time limit. I've thoroughly enjoyed learning accounting right along side pottery. Because it is a Liberal Arts school, Hendrix will serve to teach you a lot about many subjects not just one or two.
Samantha from Conway, AR
Hendrix is a liberal arts school that has a wonderful professor to student ratio. It has a small, homely feel to the campus and the faculty and staff are very interactive. The academics and social life both have high rankings when it comes to it and other colleges.

Scott from Malvern, AR
There is always a ton of stuff to do! The teachers are all wonderful and they push you to do well. If you have a question or you just need to talk about the class, just e-mail them and they get right back to you. They are always willing to talk and help you. One teacher even lets students study in her office so if they have questions, she's right there to help. There are also tutoring sessions at least three times a week in different subjects and there is also a writing center to help with those pesky essays.
Katey from Greenfield, IA
I feel the best thing about Hendrix College is the small class sizes. All the classes I have taken so far have a had a range of 15-30 students per class and I feel this is the ideal amount for interactive learning. With classes this size there are enough people to make discussion helpful and interesting, yet few enough people to allow for more individual help both in and out of class. The fact that this college is also a Liberal Arts College also allows for a wide variety of courses which is great when coupled with the aforementioned class sizes.
Cassie from Ipswich, MA
The course load can be tough at times but I can honestly say I do learn a lot. The teachers are always available in some way or fashion to help when a student is struggling until they understand the material. All the teachers seem to love what they teach which makes learning from them that much easier
Caitlin from Fort Smith, AR
Hendrix College has allowed me to challenge myself academically and athletically while providing an engaging atmosphere for anyone. It has everything one looks for in a college, and the smaller population of students allows advisors to create personal relationships with every student on campus, which shows that Hendrix is always willing to help their students at any time. I have come to find that Hendrix is full of encouraging and helpful teachers and staff that always take the time to help students out and push them to a brighter future.
Lauren from Highland Village, TX
Hendrix students, faculty, and support staff share a vibrant community spirit. People are friendly, energetic, and curious about the world. It's a fun place to learn.
...
Very professional in their recruiting of high academic students.
Constantly showed that they cared about the perspective student and the process of choosing the right college or university. Always informative on topics to help students know what the college was about and the Hendrix Experience puts everything into perspective.
Thomas from Baker, LA
