    You definitely get your bang for the buck at HSU! The tuition rate at HSU freezes after your first year so you never pay more!

    Don't be discouraged by their price tag up front. Look into scholarship options and talk to financial aid; you will likely get help! They have good academic scholarships, scholarships in most departments for when you are an upperclassman, and their tuition freeze program means you won't pay a higher tuition each year you go! My time here has not cost any more than a state school would.

    Hardin Simmons is expensive however the educational and academic value is great. All the professors are nice warm and welcoming and more importantly they know what they are talking about.

    While Hardin Simmons is expensive, and my family struggles to make each payment, we continue to push forward in this investment because my education is quality and my time is not wasted at HSU. I love this school, no matter how much it costs me.
