Hendrix College

Hendrix College is a private college that is affiliated with the United Methodist Church, and located in Conway, Arkansas. The student body averages around 1,100 attendees, with over 80% living on campus. In recent years, more than half of the student population comes from out-of-state, chiefly from those states contiguous to Arkansas, but also as far away as Maine, Minnesota, California, Iran, and Russia. Hendrix also hosts between six and ten international exchange students each year and around 25% of graduating seniors have studied abroad. Hendrix is a member of the Associated Colleges of the South.
