Student Life
When you talk to an HSU student or alum, they’ll tell you about the “HSU Family” and how much they learned outside of the classroom, as well as inside. You’ll learn to live independently here on campus, and you’ll find yourself growing personally and spiritually. Whether through fellowship and worship, leading and serving, or fun and friendship, your time at HSU will be life-changing.
