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.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I absolutely love the environment of Hendrix. The community is small (only 1350 students, I believe) and everyone knows everyone else. This doesn't just makes the parties and dances more interesting; it allows for students to get more attention from teachers as well as support for special events like drama performances and concerts. It's also a great environment for finding study partners because you know everyone in your classes, which are relatively small, not just the person sitting next to you. Also, there is little to no discrimination for sexual orientation, race, etc. What discrimination that may be felt is suppressed by those who feel it or is slowly transformed into acceptance. It's a great place to be no matter who you are.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Hendrix costs a pretty penny. All in all, the money is worth it. The community helps to promote growth academically and socially. There are a lot of community activities to attend like dances, concerts and parties; paid for by the student senate using your student activities fee. The teachers all know your names and faces and are more than willing to help you with extra lessons if need be. The money you spend definitely seems worth it while you are there.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Apply for every scholarship you can find if money is an issue; especially if it's the final factor in whether or not you choose Hendrix. The money is worth it. Take the ACT as many times as it takes to get a 32 because then you've basically paid for college if you can keep up your grades.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Pre-Med, Bio-Chem, Art, Foreign Language, many others.
