Ryan Overby
I knew I chose the right college when my entire freshman class started the year by singing praises to God together. The importance of having faith and praying with and for one another as a collective body helped me grow as a Christian and a student while I was at FHU.
Sheerah Hudley Davis
During my time as a student at FHU I learned a lot of valuable lessons. One thing that stands out is the genuine desire of the people at FHU to have you there. Their words of wanting you at FHU are not just empty phrases; they truly mean it. Being at FHU made me feel wanted, loved and included. I never wanted to leave or be anywhere else.
Dr. Olivia Gregory
Pursuing a career in physical therapy has presented me with many opportunities to show the love of Christ to those who are in need, and there is no better place to witness, experience and foster the love of Christ than at Freed Hardeman University!
