I really like it at HPU. Great professors and staff across campus. Really student-focused. Most students are strong academically - some exceptionally so and some that slipped in somehow, but overall, I would say definitely above average. Great facilities - like maybe the best I've ever seen at a college. Surrounding city is meh, but not terrible.

I have enjoyed every minute of being at High Point University! The campus is beautiful, the staff are incredible, and the opportunities that are presented to students are amazing. Every professor I have had genuinely cares about their students and wants to see them succeed in their classes. High Point has truly become my home away from home!

I can honestly not say enough good things about HPU. Yes it really looks like the pictures. They care about the students so much and go above and beyond in EVERY category. If you take advantage of what they have to offer and get involved there is so much to do on this campus. You really are in an amazing environment surrounded by caring people.

Place is like Disney Land. Academics are not the strong suit of school. Wants to be on the level of other private universities in NC like Wake Forest, Elon, and Duke, but it's several tiers below.

The Fyre fest of all colleges
Overall 1.9
I struggle to find a good thing to say about this school. Since my first day on campus, I never felt at home and nobody helped me feel as though I was in my place. I tried to seek the counseling services there, and all they said was "Just join a club. You're just homesick. Maybe join an online group counseling session".. excuse me? So much for that

This school is not good. It's boring, and filled with drama, self centered people.
Overall 2
The tour of this school is such a lie. They make everything seem extremely shiny. It's a pretty campus but the social aspect is sad. The parties are lame. The location is terrible and there's nothing to do. Its just a depressing place to be and most people feel that way. Dont be fooled by the tour!
