learning more than I ever have because of the rigorous academics … Our motto,
unto the whole person, is the perfect encapsulation of what it means to be a
student at Hendrix.”

smaller size of Hendrix lends itself to a good atmosphere to connect professors
and students, which is something very useful both for school and for job
connections.”
- “Hendrix
very quickly becomes your home with its close-knit community within the dorms
and the classroom. At school, classes are hard, but you are not set up for
failure. Your professors are invested in you and genuinely want to see you
succeed and there are resources across campus that are free and made very
available to students. Your possibilities are endless at Hendrix, you can get
involved in organizations that you want to, travel to almost anywhere through
the Odyssey Program, create your own major, and be exactly who you want to be.
Hendrix is an inclusive space where a lot of people get the opportunity to be
who they truly are for the first time. I’ve loved my time at Hendrix College
thus far.”
