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.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Ask your student guides whatever you want; don't be afraid or shy. Also, if you decide to come here, get your housing form in quickly!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
You will be challenged, but it's great because professors are usually so approachable. You can get help when you need it.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
It depends on which dorm you're in and what personality you're looking for. The dorms are a bit like frats, as they all have a specific vibe to them. You should ask older students when you visit what each dorm is like. Most people move into school-owned apartments when they're juniors, which also have some personality to them but aren't tightly knit like the dorms.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The caf ladies (and men!) are amazing, and get to know us. (You will love Mimi.) They're genuinely interested in our well-being. They do theme days at least once a month as well, where they decorate the caf, dress up in costumes, and serve themed food dishes. My favorite this year was the Carnival day.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
lots of on-campus events every day/evening. Join clubs, hang out with your friends, play pool in the SLTC, party on weekends, go to movie screenings, etc etc.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Getting tossed in the fountain and sung to in the caf on your birthday, disco tray frenzy, Shirttails dance for freshmen, and a lot of the same theme parties happen every year. We like themes.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Hardworking but laid back students will be very happy here.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are so many clubs, and they put on tons of events. There's never a shortage of things to do.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
none, and we like it that way.
