High Point is a college resort. The campus is beautiful and the professors are awesome. It has all the southern charm with a contemporary feel.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Don't be afraid to talk to students you see on campus. We are more than happy to talk about our school. Also, take the time to meet some professors and sit in on a class. That's a great way to see what it's like.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Your education is what you make of it, make an effort in your classes and you will get a lot out of it.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The dorms are fantastic! No crappy run-down buildings here. Each dorm building is its own community with different things to offer.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
There are tons of places to eat on campus including the Great Day Bakery, The Point Sports Grill, The Farmer's Market, Chick-fil-a, Subway, Starbucks and more/
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
On campus we have the Extraordinaire Cinema (free for students!), an arcade, a recreational center and a performing arts theater. There are also a ton of student organizations to get involved with.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Though tuition and housing is pricey, you are spoiled rotted here. Anything that you want or need is here. HPU makes sure its students are happy.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
There are two main traditions: one as a freshman and one as a senior. After signing the honor code, the freshman walk to the amphitheater and place their hand in the waterfall. The seal in front of Roberts Hall must not be stepped on until you are graduating. It's considered taboo if you walk across it before commencement.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
HPU is perfect for those who are interested in a great education and are willing to be involved and give back to the community.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
If we don't already have it, then you can start it. There is a club or activity for everyone, and no I'm not exaggerating.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
For a smaller school, Greek Life is pretty big. The majority of students are involved. However, if Greek Life isn't your thing there's no pressure for you to join. There are still plenty of people who are just fine not being in a fraternity or sorority.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Incredibly safe! Security patrols on foot, segway, bike, golf cart and car. There are security poles placed throughout campus. You really can't go 20 ft without seeing security in some form.
