Yes, “experience” is a pretty big word. We know there are a lot of aspects of college that may be similar no matter where you go. So when we explain what it’s like here, we want to focus on the things that set us apart.
Community
There’s a community here that you just won’t find at other schools. It results from a body of students and faculty who bring a very nurturing, supportive and thoughtful attitude. We know who we are, and we’re comfortable in our own skin (which can be a pretty rare thing among colleges and universities).
Academic Setting
There’s an academic setting here that’s built around you — your goals, your growth and your future. As a bachelor’s degree-granting institution, Hesston College offers a student-centered experience where small class sizes, hands-on learning and close faculty mentorship create a strong foundation for both personal and professional success. From your first day on campus to the moment you cross the commencement stage, you’ll be part of an environment that challenges, supports and prepares you to make a meaningful impact in the world.
Immediate Opportunities
There are immediate opportunities for living and leadership here because we are such a small, intimate community. With about 400 students, you can take advantage of every student club, organization, activity and team you want. And by living in our nests, you’ll experience residence life like nowhere else in the country.
Spiritual Life
We have a vibrant spiritual life on campus because we are a Christ-centered community and offer students multiple options for deepening their faith in ways that are meaningful to them. We are affiliated with Mennonite Church USA. At the same time, our small student body represents dozens of different religious affiliations.
