Patrick Henry is a small, close-knit and community-concerned school. Its high standards and tightly focused academic programs make it a really valuable education and a worthwhile challenge. The faculty are world-class but available and caring for all of their small classes.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Don't pull all-nighters- sleep helps grades. Get involved in the community on campus. Don't underestimate the necessity of staying healthy.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
This school is a challenge but so worth it! You learn way more than you thought possible- it's invigorating. You get out what you put into it.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The campus is small, but the dorms are new and clean and comfortable. The RA team is caring and very available. There is a curfew, though.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Unfortunately, you can't get around buying the meal plan. The food isn't always great, but there's always salad. They've made an effort to be better lately, too, and improvement has been consistent.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Washington, DC is close by with lots to do. There's the zoo, the smithsonians, and sporting events- Wizards and Capitals, especially. And there are campus-wide events almost every weekend.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Ugh. College is expensive, and PHC is no exception. Worth it in theory, but it's still painful to pay tuition.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
When guys get engaged, they get thrown into Lake Bob. Girls get a candlelight ceremony. Faith and Reason lectures happen every semester.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Academically focused; homeschoolers; Christians; anyone interested in a government-oriented career.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Forensics activities- mock trial, moot court, and debate- dominate. Although PHC only has two sports, basketball and soccer, intramural frisbee gets a lot of unofficial playing time.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are no fraternities or sororities on PHC's campus.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
The town is small and extremely safe; the PHC security force is visible but practically unneeded. I have never felt unsafe on or around campus.
