Henderson State University Top Questions

My school is small but yet it is big enough. I like that we have a very diverse campus and the school tries to give each and every student a chance to get involved.

This school has a planetarium which is really cool. Also, we have a rivalry with Ouchita Baptist University which is right across the street so every year we have a football game known as "The Battle of the Ravine".

Henderson is unique because it is ripe with tradition and school spirit. Things like haunted dorms, romantic spots on campus, and game day traditions are part of the culture at Henderson. Our mascot, the Reddie, is even a spirit, born from the fire that burnt down our school in 1914 and a spirit that lives inside of all of us. Henderson Alumni are proud of the school they attended and stay involved in school activities even after they've been gone for many years.

I come from a small town, so this school was the perfect size for me. You will always have a familar face in a class, yet there is always the opportunity to make new friends everyday. Henderson's extra-curricular activities were also unique in that there is so many to choose from! The Greek life also interested me greatly!

An open administration, for new ideas and activities.

The school mascot is a spirit as opposed to animal or a warrior like most schools have. I think that sets it apart more than anything. Also both my parents and several of my aunts, uncles and cousins graduated from here so it is a kind of legacy in my family.

Henderson State University was one of my first picks. From the time I toured the campus I knew this was the place for me. The people are so friendly and quick to answer my questions. Finanical staying at this school has been a up hill battle. The financial aid advisors are very helpful and willing to help in any way. I have recently changed my major to Family and Consumer Science Education. The people in this department are so nice. The environment at Henderson is a very caring one. It's a great place to call home away from home.

Professors are very involved in their classes and concerned for invidual students' success.
