High Point University Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about High Point University? Why?

Shannon

The worst thing about my school is its location. High Point county is a low class, residential area which would be fine if High Point University were a larger school. However, since we are only 4,000 or less students, we tend to get swallowed up in the local High Point scene. I would have liked to go to a school in a city or at least in a so-called "college town" just to have had more of a relationship with the community. HPU is intentionally gated, and that isolates its students from the outer world.

There really is not anything bad about High Point. The academics, environment, and campus are extraordinary. If there is one thing I would change, it is that is not a lot of trees and wild life in the gated campus, but the beautiful gardens more than make up for it.

Christina

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.

Jessica

High Point is such a wonderful school, but is ver costly, I truly should not be attending High Point based on my mother's income, but she makes it work and struggles because she knows it's something I really want.

Jordan

The worst thing about my school is the distance from home.

Katherine

The worst thing about my school is its lack of ethnic diversity. The students as a whole are very diverse, coming from many different states and countries. However, the student poplulation does not have much ethnic diversity. About seventy percent of the student population is white. I would just wish to have a larger variety of ethnic diversity on the campus.

MARRIAH

There are not many bad things to say about my school. But I would have to say the worst thing about the school is that the campus kiosk is not open throughout the day.

Amanda

The student body is overly rich; they do not have an appreciation for the rest of the country's financial issues.

Lisa

I believe that the worst thing about our school is that we do not have a football team. Everyone always wants to be able to go to their school's football game but we do not have that, but we all attend all the other school sports games to be supportive on behalf of our school.

Personally, the availability of scholarships and financial awards to help students study abroad. Study abroad is greatly emphasized at HPU, yet there is very little aid available to help one do so.
