The Road Less Traveled <§!6.rding University. To some, it is a diploma. To others, it is friendship. Still others view it as a collage ofexperiences. Regardless ofhow one sees Harding, one observation is true: it changes lives. Whether a student spends just a semester or five or six years at Harding, he or she cannot avoid being confronted with Christianity. Each student must decide how to deal with the presence of Christianity. And that decision plants the seed ofchangewithin each student. For some, it is continued growth in a life being lived. For others, it is a new philosophy of life. And for others, it is one more stone placed in the wall of a hardened heart of rejection. Throughout history, home has been a training ground for life. God designed it that way. Children learn to discern between right and wrong, experiment with appropriate behavior based on a situation, and develop a structure for lifelong learning. While Harding cannot, and should not, replace the family unit, it is a place where one can gain direction in life. At Harding, the administration patterns its policies and actions after biblical standards for Christian living. Students are asked to live by these standards, too. While most universities educate for life, Harding's goal is to provide an education which is reputable in the world, but which ultimately leads toward a destination beyond this life.
