Small school big help
This university provided really great 1-on-1 attention from teachers that you can’t get anywhere else. However, due to the lack of numbers, I feel that the campus suffered in terms of liveliness and general mental well-being.
My Harding Experience
On the Whole, Harding University provides excellent education with supportive and experienced professors. However, the university should be a lot more supportive of international students and should be willing to provide them with resources to cope and excel in a foreign country.
