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.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Study hard because it is not an easy college and professors will not pass you without your dedication to the class.
Pay attention in lectures because more than likely it will be on the test.
Make friends with the cafeteria workers and any workers because it is such a small campus that if you ever need anything, they are willing to help you out in any way they can.
Go to tutoring if you have trouble. It is why they have tutoring, for students in need.
Get involved.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Hendrix is considered a Harvard of the South. It didn't get that nickname because it is an easy school. The professors expect a lot out of you and everyone there was pretty much at the top of their class in high school. Make sure to stay up on all assignments and Do not procrastinate because it will bite you later.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The dorms are a blast as far as the social experience due to all the fun activities that are hosted by the college. The only downside is that this campus is old and their is a lot of mold that pops up around the dorms. When you become an upperclassman, you have a chance at the houses or the apartments and they are significantly better.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food and dining experience at Hendrix was seriously my favorite part. The cafeteria staff is absolutely amazing and the food is delicious. Plus on your birthday, they will bring you out a cake that they baked in the back and sing the happy birthday song Hendrix style. (It's a bit different from a regular happy birthday song and most people never know the words)
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Campus is full of great opportunities. The school has a ton of social events including a foam party, toga, and ghost roast. It's a blast and it keeps the students safe and on campus. They also have the best orientation week I have ever heard of for freshman. It includes a weekend trips with a smaller group, pizza wars, and Playfair. If you never heard of any of this, go to hendrix.edu and click on the future students and orientation site for more information on that.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The only really depressing part about Hendrix is that it is private and extremely expensive. However, the money is worth it if you are staying for the complete four years. They also have a ton of scholarships that they are willing to hand out to any student who has worked hard enough to obtain them. Hendrix has a high price, but if your planning on medical school, law school, or graduate school, then it is absolutely worth the extra bucks.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
The campus has OR week for freshman and it is crazy awesome. The orientation at hendrix is unlike any other orientation. Shirttails is also a tradition that Hendrix has and basically it is a dance off of each freshman dorm. The freshmen learn the dance choreographed for their dorm and then perform it in the brick pit the second saturday night of the school year. Their is also the tradition of throwing students in the fountain on their birthday, it is fair game all day long. They also bake you a cake and sing happy birthday in the cafeteria on your birthday. This campus is filled with tons of awesome and fun traditions.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
The school is great if you are leaning more towards a liberal education. It's also great if you were singled out in high school and just want to be united with a huge group.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Hendrix has a large amount of involvement on campus. In fact, most things that happen in this college town for Hendrix Students is on campus. The Hendrix experience is so great that it isn't even considered a suitcase college. Most people prefer to hang around for the weekend activities that happen around campus.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There is no greek life at Hendrix, but like everything great. Freshman dorms act as sororities and fraternities and we host activities such as Faux Rush Week and Shirttails. Plus it is always fun five years down the road to say I was an Easy VZ girl. A.K.A. I lived in Veasey Hall for freshman and sophomore year.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Safety on Hendrix is unbelievably great. The campus makes you feel safe and Conway is a pretty nice city, so there isn't much worry, but if trouble does arrive, they have convenient emergency poles all over and public safety driving around all the time to protect their students.
