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.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Hendrix has a small but beautiful campus which includes wonderful lawns and common grounds for students to relax in. The new Student Life & Technology Center (SLTC) is especially cool with it's late night cafe, really nice cafeteria, very accessible computer lab, and extensive games room. The small size of the campus makes it easy to get from class to class quickly, but it is still large enough to take walks in or to ride your bike around.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The tuition is about $40,000 which is a bit steep, but every student here receives some form of financial aid and I know that I was able to get about half of my tuition covered through their scholarships. It is definitely worth it when you take into account the variety of classes, new facilities, and the general environment.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Definitely do not underestimate this schools standards for it's students because of it's relative obscurity and kind of party atmosphere. I've learned that the unofficial motto of most students here is Party hard and study harder.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
I would recommend this school to students who are looking for a small liberal arts college that has a generally politically Liberal atmosphere and doesn't mind a prominent party scene. An average GPA of 3.0 is the most common here, but would still be challenging to those of an even higher GPA.
