Amazing school, awesome campus, caring faculty and staff, kind students. Wonderful place to be.
Overall 4.7
Everyday here is an HSU day, because everyday is amazing. The only thing that doesn't get a perfect score is the food. The caf is sub-par, however the sandwich shack in the POD is where it is at. The breakfast burritos in the morning from there will change your life forever. If you want a small-school experience where the faculty care, come to HSU.

Very helpful people! Everyone was so nice when I went to visit, if someone didn't say hello they at least smiled or waved.

HSU is the perfect size. It's not too small to where you know everyone, so you always see new and familiar faces; it's also not too big, so you can get involved anywhere and with anything! The atmosphere is wonderful and everyone you meet wants to help you succeed to the best of your ability!

Hardin - Simmons, offers a small school environment with professors who care about you. Although many professors tend to give a lot of extra credit, which makes getting an 'a' very easy. The academic challenge level is medium, if you really want a great education get the harder teachers they are worth it, though all of the professors are good.

Great atmosphere, but very cliquish. Be prepared to know everyone and have everyone know you. The social clubs are a joke. However, the professor to student ratio is excellence and the education is superb.
