Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

Almost all FHU students are proud of their school and wouldn't change their college choice. This small campus that is nestled in a small town in Southwest Tennessee is more than a college to its students; it's home and a place where one can feel loved and accepted. FHU focuses on a Christian education as well as an education that will help its students succeed in the business world. The University's mission statement is "Teaching how to live and how to make a living," and the faculty does just that. All of the faculty and staff are members of the Church of Christ and are true examples of what a Christian should be.

Because FHU is such a small campus, it's hard to walk around and not recognize most of the people you pass by. While many college campuses are very large and home to thousands of students, the reason many students come to Freed is because of the small size, along with the Christian atmosphere and endearing faculty. FHU offers a warm feeling to its students, something that is very unique for a university. Students are safe to walk around at night, leave their purse or laptop unattended, or sometimes to even leave their dorm room door unlocked. It's rare to find a place with so many young people who are honest and who are sincerely trying to do what is right. Of course, no place is perfect, but FHU sure feels close.

Drug Policy

there is a strict no drug policy at Freed, but coming from a public high school it is nice to get away from all of that

So Many Opportunities

I have always wanted to go to a Christian college, so when I came to Freed, I found exactly what I expected. The student to faculty ratio allows teachers to interact with students on a one-on-one basis, and they genuinely care about you as a student. There are so many opportunities for spiritual growth: devotionals, Bible classes, etc. There are also lots of social opportunities with social clubs and other student organizations to get involved in. I don't think I would be any happier anywhere else.

Campus Strictness at Freed-Hardeman University

Christian Campus; Christian Conduct

Since it is a private Christian school, there are a lot of policies. There is a strict dress code. Every student must attend chapel everyday but has 12 excused absences per semester. Drinking and drugs are not tolerated at all. Boys are allowed to be in girls' dorm lobbies and girls are allowed to be in boys' dorm lobbies only. They are allowed to go to each others' rooms once a year on Halloween during trick-or-treating, and even then there is a strict door open policy. If a Christian school with Christian policies is what you're looking for, Freed is an A.
