My years at HSU changed my life and are greatly responsible for the sucess I have had in my life. Not only did my years at HSU prepare me academically, but also as a christian. It developed my character in so many ways. I am still using the experiences I gleemed there in my profession, home life, and my church involvement. The standards there help young people to navigate thier way into adulthood without many of the pit falls that plague students who attend secular schools. It was a good balance of academics and "good, clean" fun. At the time I turned down full scholarships at state schools to attend HSU. Once I walked onto that campus I knew this is where God wanted me to be. After many years later I am more sure of that decision than ever. As my own children consider thier future they are looking to say yeeeha! -- Go Cowboys! Most of all they too would like to attend a university that has strong academics that stills proclaims God as Lord -- HSU is one of those special places. I am so thankful for my years there and am still reaping the benefits.

I thought it was a wonderful university. I spent four years at HSU, then went on to two large state universities for grad school. At HSU you are part of the family and the professors actually care about you. It is completely the opposite at state universities where professors are most worried about research and tenure. The vast majority of professors at HSU have the heart of a teacher. If you want to learn practical knowledge and develop life-long relationships, go to HSU.

Regarding the night life, it was my experience that most of the people that did not like Abilene or HSU were from large cities. It is true that Abilene isn't the most exciting town, but it does have everything you need. If you are seeking God and a great education, HSU and Abilene will work great for you. If you are going to college to party and live a worldly life, you probably will not like Abilene or HSU.

In the end, college is probably what you make of it. Regardless of where you go, your happiness will probably be determined by who and what you get involved with. HSU provided me with several avenues of involvement and I wouldn't have traded it for the world.

Hardin-Simmons isn't necessarily bad, nor good. It's not-so-peachy if you yourself are not Baptist, but the faculty makes up for it.
