High point is an amazing school and I am very excited to attend the school. Its intentionality for the students is incredible and the campus is beautiful as well! At HPU, expect personalized mentoring from global leaders, build the life skills that employers want most, and be surrounded by excellence at every turn. They are a God, family, and country school, #1 Best Regional College in the South (U.S. News & World Report) and HPU Panthers are passionate, insightful, and open to growth. I love that school!

As a senior, I wish I had known that the student body profile would not dictate the attitudes of all attending students. The college I almost chose was well known for high class, wealthy students who partied hard and studied harder. I was afraid of being ostracized because of my low income, and I chose another school instead. The other school was rising in the academic world, and attracting many more wealthy students. Therefore, when I came to my new school, I realized that they were as conceited as I had thought the other school would be. Because I was scared, I ended up with more loans for a school with less prestige.
Friendly but definite cliques are evident and form typically
One of the best things about my school is the fact that there are so many different kinds of people from all over the country and also the world. Even though my school is far from home, it was easy to make friends and relate to the other students because the majority of them were from out of state. This amde the tranisition much easier and it was great to make so many friends that I could relate to in a new environment far from home.
My school in one sentence would be extremely difficult to do, but if I had to I would say what everyone here at High Point knows to be true, and it?s that High Point University is extraordinary. Meaning that not only do they offer an amazing environment to live and learn in, but they also offer amazing classes that would impress anyone who has been there.
I honestly believe the worst thing about High Point is leaving it. When I moved onto campus I immediately felt right at home. The surrounding city of High Point is pretty sketchy, but the campus provides anything you could ever desire or want. I love it here, not only for the aesthetic beauty but because you just feel a sense of community here.
When I am telling my friends about High Point Unversity, I am most likely to talk about the amazing education that I am getting here. The professors that I have truly care about my success and it is so heartwarming to see that in a university. My largest class has 35 people, which is absolutely amazing being a freshman in college. I know all of my professors and they know my name and are willing to help me succeed. I also brag about the amenities. High Point is absolutely beautiful and makes you appreciate the world you live in.
High Point University recognizes, more than any other school that I looked into, that there is more to success and significance than facts and knowledge. High Point is the school for students who want to make something of themselves hollistically. It encourages habits that make its students stand out in a crowd and it inspires students to not only deserve the campus they get to live on, but to strive to imporve the campus for everyone else. High Point students are never told that they can't do something and every students believes he can be somebody important.
I wish I knew that there is no need to worry about making first impressions. People are friendly and excepting, no matter what the first impressions they give might be.
Someone looking for a small school and lots of personal attention. You rprofessors will know you so you can't just hide in the back of the class room especially since the back is only about 4 seats back!
Outgoing, enthusiastic, goal oriented students.
There is so much to do all the time it is hard to get to do it all. I am graduating in a year and I am active in many things but there is still so much more I want to do that I can fit in.
Our school is well known for its improvements on campus over the past decade.
The professors are what make a difference in academic life. They are all really caring and want to help you to succeed; 9 out of 10 professors will give your their cell/home phone number incase you need extra help on a project or studying for a test.
The overall size of HPU is just right, when walking around you will always see someone you know and others smiling just saying "hi." It makes it truely easy to wake up and get your day going in a positive light!
Greek Life is a pretty big thing. Many students are in a sorority or fraternity. Due to this, there is usually always a drunken party every weekend in the Greek Village.
Can't really think of any. Some might say were naive to how the real world operates and we live in a fantasy world because of all the nice amenities we have but that's about it.
the sterotypes are true on the account that our school is similar to a country club. Yet, the reason for this is because the students at HPU take pride in our campus and treat it with the same respect the staff and faculty treat us. By allowing us the opportunity to experience a fantastic campus life the students excell in their classes because they are in a caring atmosphere.
