Conway, Ark. (August 22, 2023) — Hendrix College appears in The
Princeton Review’s 2024 Best Colleges: Region by Region, which highlights 630

the publication considers “academically outstanding” and “well worth
consideration” for prospective students in the college search process.

student body, and campus life:

Southern hospitality”
- “Generous financial aid”

what they do and are very good at it,” “make the subjects really interesting,” and are “passionate about their
fields and very accessible in and out of the classroom.”
- “One-third of all newly minted Hendrix grads proceed
directly to graduate and professional school, which is evidence that all the
hard work pays off.”

themselves as “hardworking,” “very ambitious,” “pretty free-spirited,” and “eclectic” “intellectual
misfits” who tend to have “lots of interests and hidden abilities.”
- “Everyone is wholeheartedly welcome.”
- Social
life here is extremely “campus-centric,” and Hendrix is “small enough to evoke
a sense of familiarity without feeling boring.”

ongoing annual event.”

Colleges in America 2023” according to Money’s analysis of more than 700
