[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hendrix: Have not visited but want to. Here's what we like on paper: it's one of the few co-ed, warm weather, LACs without Greek life. It's apparently progressive, but without the shouting (and fwiw, left-leaning people in Massachusetts and California swear to me that this part of Arkansas is genuinely great: beautiful, progressive, arty, and kind of hipster.). It seems to punch well above its weight academically-- for one thing, it's on that NSF list of top producers of science and engineering Ph.D.s, above a couple of Ivys and schools known for STEM. The food is some of the best in the country, and the dining hall workers apparently go far out of their way to make every kid feel at home. Lots of hands-on learning, with money for independent projects. Small student body, but apparently with a little of everything, and very friendly. Campus cats. Kid is interested, and accepted, with merit that brings coa to low 30s. Guaranteed flagship match to all accepted students right now. If anyone has visited, I'd love to hear more. [/quote]

I think we may have exchanged posts back in the fall. I worked on a scholarship program for refugees and Hendrix went well well well over the extra mile as a host school. Even some community members hopped in to help this student with some expenses not covered by their scholarship and more than the school could probably afford. I never had an opportunity to visit but my associate, who grew up on Long Island and pretty urban/suburban, was charmed by the town, the school, everyone she met. Wish I could offer more direct experience - Hendrix will always have a special place for me. [/quote]
