Choosing Rhodes
You’ve read countless college brochures, pored over “Best of…” reviews and heard everyone’s opinions. Now it’s time to figure out whether Rhodes is a good fit for you. If the statements below sound like you, the answer is yes.
I want a college that expects the best from me.
For starters, we require all our students to subscribe to the student-directed Honor Code. It’s not just lip service—you agree to refrain from any dishonest act, from cheating on a test to lying to a professor to filching someone else’s detergent. Because of the Code, honesty is a given; integrity matters and values are put into practice—every day.
I am looking for outstanding academics.
Our top-ranked academics with 10:1 student/faculty ratio and rigorous humanities requirement will challenge you to think for yourself. And Rhodes graduates have an exceptionally high rate of acceptance into graduate or professional programs.I want the opportunity to make a difference.
Rhodes students are passionate about effecting positive change in the world. That’s why more than 80% of our students participate in service regularly, often through one of the diverse service opportunities available through the Kinney Program.I want a life outside of classes.
Relationships and activities outside the classroom combine with your academic experience to make you a balanced person. Our students work hard and they play hard — there is something for everyone at Rhodes. Find your niche in student government, Greek life, athletics (NCAA Div. III, club, and intramural), performing and fine arts, and among a myriad of clubs and organizations.
I want an environment that supports learning.
The Rhodes campus is an idyllic setting reminiscent of the Ivy League universities of New England. We’re located in a quiet residential neighborhood approximately four miles northeast of the city downtown. But even better, you’ll have Memphis as a laboratory to enrich your learning experience. A vital hub of Southern culture, business and medicine, Memphis offers you the opportunity to apply your academic knowledge and broadened interests through professional internships, research opportunities and community involvement.
