Very Good:

The unique feature of Harding is the faculty's warm interest in their student's personal lives.  I would be surprised to find a university where you can become close friends with your professors.  You attend church with them, go to their parties, watch their children, are invited to call them after hours and even to drop by unexpectedly.

Very Bad:

However, the institution treats people like dirt, and has no respect for people's time.  Chapel attendance is required daily at 9 am, Bible class is required every semester (you pay 3 hours tuition for this while music major's core courses are worth only 1 - 2 hours), and there is a broad list of behaviors that will get you kicked out.  As a brief example of the types of rules implemented here, hair and shorts (pants) length is regulated in the student handbook, and enforced daily by administrators.  Drinking any amount of alcohol at any time at any place will get you expelled.  The dean will also insist that you leave school if you are a male with a pierced ear and refuse to remove your earring. 

Most people here would call themselves conservative, yet the belief-system is far too stodgy for the true sense of the world.  If you want to see what conservative America might have looked like during the red scare, then this is the place.  My experience has been a paradox of professors challenging people to rise to new ideas and to change the world on an individual level while being repressed and assimilated into a collective on an institutional level. 

In a final ironic twist, the founder of the school James A.  Harding who was known for his challenging ideas, refusing to give in to political and religious pressures, and sported a thick beard probably would not have gotten on well here.
