Rhodes College in 100 words or less ...

The Rhodes College campus is rated as one of the most beautiful in the country, with gothic-style buildings on 100 acres in a great part of Memphis. Academics are rigorous, the core curriculum is solid, and the faculty has close relationships with students. Popular majors: Biology, History, Business and English. The Honor System guides student conduct. Students are passionate about community service.  Greek life is big; students report no social divide because the Greek system is non-residential. A Rhodes tradition is that faculty serve pancakes to students during final exams.  Applying on-line is free.
