My experience at Freed-Hardeman was a great one, but as you can see from other reviews, it is not for everyone. The school is a Christian one associated with the churches of Christ. Being a conservative Christian school, there are going to be a lot of rules, (curfew, dress code, chapel, class attendance, etc.) but this is what makes this school different. Did I enjoy the rules? Not particularly. I struggled with chapel attendance every year. I had to go see the dean because I got caught sneaking out of the dorm once (getting caught once out of a hundred though is not too bad). I loved curfew though. It made all the guys in my dorm get there at the same time, which more times than not lead to us doing something mischievous.

The professors, faculty, and staff are really nice and genuinely want to see you succeed. Teachers will hand out their cell phone numbers, and some will even invite entire classes into their homes. Administration often gets a bad wrap from students because they are the ones who have to enforce the rules, but they are doing their jobs and trying to do what's best for the university.

Freed-Hardeman is a great college. The best four years of my life (so far) were spent here. I never had as much fun, or had as many friends as I did during my time there. I was given great opportunities to grow socially, academically, and spiritually. My name is Justin Smith and if you are interested in going to FHU, want to know more about it, or understand why everyone else's comments are so negative about a school that I love a lot, you can email me at
