REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingThe professors at Hesston College are very relational with the students in each class. With a student-teacher ratio of 12-1, and lab ratio of 7-1, the ability to form a strong relationship with each professor is phenomenal. From in-class help to assistance the frustrating assignment at 11 PM Tuesday night, they are there for the students because they know them on a personal level. The professors are committed to the school as well. The best example of this is Dr. Jim Yoder, the Chemistry professor. My mom, 53, had Jim in class when she was here. His dedication to the school is second to none, and he continues to bring the same enthusiasm he did 35 years ago.
I began as an Engineer major, but changed to business as a sophomore. There are countless opportunities, and I was even fortunate enough to attend a business conference in San Jose, California. The business connections I've made are going to help me be successful over the rest of my life.
