Emily

I am attending school in Rogers for a Degree Completion for Education. It is excellent for non-traditional and working students like myself. I love that I don't have to leave work or change my schedule in order to attend classes. They are also accelerated classes, so most are complete in six weeks. It's intense, but you can get more hours in a semester without feeling like you are completely overloaded.

Brittany

Harding has one thing I have not found anywhere else: community. While it certainly has ups and downs, I would not choose to be anywhere else within my budget. The friendships you have, the Christian atmosphere that is prevalent, and the teachers that genuinely care are all reasons that make Harding University a wonderful place to go to school. I felt welcomed and at home at Harding, while at other similarly-priced schools, I did not feel the warmth and acceptance.

Most everyone has the same religious background. There are way more rules. There is a curfew. The meal plan is extremely limited, and the cafeteria food is deadly.
