Howard Payne is a excellent school to go too. The offer generous scholarship and are caring of their students. However, the campus dorms do need a little upgrade. Brownwood as a lovely little town with a rich history.

Great school, but is small and is in a small town without a lot of things to do.
Bad reviews

This school is going to be miserable for closet party people. It's a school for people who can't make it to D1 to play ball and end up here. Don't waste your time whining. Some of the profs are worth talking to. They graduated from reputable univs. Staff are helpful. Be a loner for the next 4 yrs and you'll be ok.

You are so lucky if you go to HPU since most of them already have their PhDs and Masters. They are so genuine and want you to succeed. I transferred from a big school and never been so happy to be genuinely helped by all of these experienced professors who actually know what they are doing.

I realized this wasnt going to work when I started student orientation. I was miserable in this nothing town and I felt extremely lonely even though I had a few friends that ended up leaving at the semester. Its hard to make a career from a school like this that nobody has heard of. If you come here I hope you can entertain yourself easily.

this school is what you make out of it. you can sit all day and complain about how boring the place is--or you can go out there and network. Heck, there's two Fortune 500 companies out here and you'd be a fool to not make a use of it. Be wise when you network and get your degree as soon as you can.
