Hendrix College
“I can't recommend Hendrix College because:AveragePolitical Science
I can't recommend Hendrix College because:
1. Conway, Arkansas is a high crime, dump of a town. Check out the violent crime statistics.
2. Beyond the borders of Arkansas, Hendrix has little if any name recognition. If you think you might want to live in some other state, you might consider that you will be competing for jobs with people who graduated from schools more familiar to HR personnel. You will be at a competitive disadvantage.
3. My professors ranged from a very few who were really good to too many who weren?t. Some were even disingenuous.
4. Hendrix has too few majors.
5. My dorm room looked like something out of ?The Big House? sans toilet.
6. I found the social culture to be extraordinarily cliquish.
I think one can get a good education at Hendrix and many alums swear by it. However, there are lots of other schools which are at least as good academically without the deficiencies I?ve noted. Do yourself a favor and select one of them. If I had it to do over again (and I wish I did), I?d go elsewhere.

“Compared to the competition,Political Science
Compared to the competition, Hendrix just isn't worth it. One can obtain at least an equally good education from an institution not located in an undesirable state and town. Also, Hendrix has no name recognition outside of Arkansas.

“Hendrix was helpful.Biology
Hendrix was helpful. I was not prepared by my high school for the difficulty of the work load. However, I was favorably noticed by the faculty and helped me get into grad school. It was not until then that I realized how much better I was prepared for the real world by having a broad, liberal arts background. I wish I had been more social and interactive with my professors. The connections I did make are still helpful.
