I mean, that's how virtually all private institutions are like closer to home. I was poorly mistaken. While there are good professors and departments around, I am utterly appalled by some of the attitude of some of the other professors on campus. In some courses, if curves were taken away, there would be a 100% failure rate (in some cases, all students well below a grade of 50%) since neither the lectures nor the textbook went over the most fundamental materials to the course. Somehow students are given outrageous curves to allow students to pass the course with a complete incompetency in the subject due to aspects regarding both the students and the professors. Some professors, when asked genuine questions, will even turn students away in a fury. There are even rumors around the campus of shady activities behind some of this.

Their moral and ethical stance impressed me thoroughly and I enjoyed the opportunity to have open discussions in class about religion with many different viewpoint represented. The faculty and administration were phenomenal in assisting me as I needed assistance. Dr. Hall made an effort to remember students, invite them into his home, and get involved in campus activities. There were always plenty of events and opportunities to socialize on campus. Abilene may not be the most exciting town around, but with 3 colleges there is always something fun to do. I hope to return to HSU one day to pursue my doctorate. I would recommend this university to anyone. Faculty Accessibility: A+, University Resource Use: B Have a Question?

You can definitley get a quality education there. I happened to major and minor in two of the worst two programs there (comm/soci). So i basically learned very little. Communications progeram was a joke, i hope it has improved. SOciology was like a high school class with a incredibly out of touch with reality individual who is now retired (hope that has improved as well). I came there for sports, and thought i would be ok with everything else, I wasnt. THe conservative christian republican atmosphere is overwhelming. It is not a place for young minorities to go. You are not made to feel unwelcome in any way, but You do feel incredibly out of place. I stayed because I couldn justify leaving the college because there are not enough party people on the campus. I had fun there, as people tend to group together with others like them....but given a second chance I would have saved my cash, gone to a state school, had more fun, and left with a degree from a place people recognized when you said cause in teh end its all that matters. Going there also is a major factor in me becmoing atheist, with the disgusting hypocritical christian students/staff. Preparedness: -, Reputation: - Have a Question?
