Classes & academics at HUFS
In their own words — what students said about classes and academic life at HUFS:
“The campus is really cool — it looks like Greek-style buildings. Food is cheap, and there’s a coffee shop plus a mini-market right on campus. Students are super open to meeting new people since they’re all learning a foreign language, so it’s easy to have great conversations and make friends.”
“Be careful with classes choices. It is extremely competitive and I almost didnt have enough credits to graduate”
