Henderson wasn't my first choice, Fayettville was. But they are extremly expensive! So i looked for other colleges and Henderson State stuck to me and I did some real research on the school! I found that this school is perfect for me and if I would have went to Fayettville I probably wouldn't be doing as good as I'm doing now! I love the school!!

Boring school that doesn't present college-type atmosphere that's expected. Highly disappointed!

Don't go to Henderson if you have any other options. Very few teachers actually care. They give you false information to make you stay in school longer. Any chance they get they will try and take your money. The only thing good here are the sports except volleyball they're on a 10 year loosing steak.

This school was alright. It being so small made it easy to learn where everything was and feel comfortable, but was basically like moving up to the 13th grade rather than a college. Reminded me way too much of high school.
Overall 1.8
school would be great if they cared more about what students say and think they should change. They don't listen to us

I have transferred from this school. The current school I am going to now has made me realize Henderson seriously needs help in all departments. If you don't work out and eat when you're bored, you WILL gain weight. After going to the lake multiple times, you will get SO tired of it. After about 2 months you will be over it!

If you can go somewhere else, you should. It's okay overall. Nothing special. Nothing fun ever happens in Arkadelphia, so it is easy to focus on your school work... lol.
