I love Hendrix, but the WiFi can be frustrating.

The campus is in a prime spot in town, just a few minutes away from retail stores in every direction. The cafeteria food is amazing! And the professors are so kind and encouraging! It's a wonderful school, though the WIFI needs a bit of work.

Academics are why I chose Hendrix. Dorms are improving but definitely remain the biggest downside - I'd recommend going for the creative quad as a freshman, it's a lot nicer than the traditional dorms. Food's good. Basically a feeder school for med school, it's hard but it prepares you well for grad/ med school if that's your thing.

Dont go to Hendrix. I shouldve transferred freshman year. They dont let ANY credits transfer because Hendrix makes up random classes so if you want to transfer do it immediately. But my advice is save yourself before you spend 60K on this crap hole

As a senior, I can say you will feel very differently about this school after a few years. Youll realize the money youre paying is going no where and the investment wasnt worth it. The academics are GREAT but thats it. The housing is terrible, the food is the same everyday, the admin dont do their jobs. Take it from a senior: DONT GO HERE.
