We just returned from a visit to Hendrix. The campus is beautiful. So many things we loved about the campus. The Odyssey program is a source of amazing opportunities, the students we spoke with were passionate about the campus and professors, the students who spoke to the parent group were very impressive. The admission counselors were very helpful. I would be very happy if either of our daughters attended Hendrix. Our D loved the small class sizes and possible opportunities. However, she felt the student body size is a bit too small for her, and she realizes she wants a campus located in a more vibrant town. The campus recently received a very large donation and plans to build two new dorms and update the existing ones. This is a true gem for a student looking for a small, passionate student body. My H who attended a large research university was previously not sold on the benefits of a LAC for our D. However, after this weekend, he realizes that this is the type of environment where she could really thrive. So, we are now on the lookout for a similar environment with a larger student body and larger town. We are heading to Trinity in San Antonio in a few weeks. Will report back. Thank you to everyone who has made this one of the most useful threads!
