Lots of small colleges aspire to be alike. Hendrix, is seems, wants to be different. And, different it is. In an era when many private colleges in the South are becoming increasingly homogeneous and doctrinaire, Hendrix encourages students to be open to new ideas. In fact, the College website says, "We believe it's important to challenge conventional wisdom and our own assumptions. If you disagree, if you think some things just shouldn't be questioned, you might not be happy at Hendrix." Another Hendrix difference is its Odyssey Program, which requires students to choose at least three hands on learning experiences prior to graduation. Hendrix enrolls about 1,100 students from 33 states and nine countries. Admission is selective. Nearly half of Hendrix students were in the top 10% of their high school class. Their midrange ACT scores are an impressive 25-31. There is one professor per eleven students at Hendrix, and all faculty hold terminal degrees. Hendrix's endowment, now nearing $200, ensures its fiscal strength and stability. Hendrix is moderately priced in comparison to many colleges its size. And, the actual cost to students is greatly reduced by the availability of financial aid. If being introduced to new kinds of people and new ideas appeals to you, if you like the idea of doing some learning outside of the traditional classroom, and if you want to share small classes with capable, motivated students, you should find out more about Hendrix.
