Why HSE?
Students often have the desire to be successful in college, but harnessing the necessary study time, social support, learning environment, and foundational skills can be challenging. HSE offers those additional resources. For example, it provides a chance for students to write essays with the instructor鈥檚 guidance in real time. It also features a tight-knit community for reading, annotating, and discussing assigned texts.
