At Hendrix, you don’t just visit campus, you experience it. And the best way

to do that is through a customized, individual campus visit. You can schedule

a visit anytime during the year, although we encourage you to come when classes

are in session and student activities are in full swing so you can experience a real

taste of Hendrix campus life. Just give us a call at 1-800-277-9017.

Your individualHendrix experience.

Things to do during

your individualHendrix experience:

> attend a class> take a student-led campus walk> learn more about financial aid> meet one-on-one with an admission

counselor> have lunch in the cafeteria> meet individually with a faculty

member and/or a coach*> stay overnight with a student
