High Point University Top Questions

I would say that wherever you feel you can see yourself become the person you want to be, and this college will help you do it, go for that one. You should definitely have a good feeling that this is a place you can make friends, focus on your major, and learn all kinds of different things in the four years you have. If you have a plan of what you want out of college, and this one fits that picture, go for it. Don't waste your time thinking that if you've known everything going in that you might have done something different. You always will have the option of transferring, but don't kill your chances of success when you've only been at the place for a couple of months. Take your time and be thankful what you get in return. To sum it up, college is what you make it, and no one can decide what makes you happy. If you feel it, go for it.

Don't get carried away with partying, your here to learn and get through college, don't wast your parents money. Handeling a part-time job and going to school is a posibility so don't stress. Make sure you make time for fun and don't kill yourself with a work load and finally put yourself out there when it comes to meeting new people because their all in the same situation as you are!

I would suggest to talk to people outside of tours, don't be afraid to approach students or professors. They will be more likely to tell you the more truthful pros and cons of the campus and life.

In your search to finding the perfect college you must find out what is most important in your daily living. For me, the campus life, professors, diversity, and dorms were most important. I feel that it is necessary to find an institute that can fulfill the needs of your mind, body and soul.

My advice to any parent or student when it comes to finding the right school is to listen to your heart. When I first walked around the campus of High Point University I got this instant feeling of this is it, that I could tell this was the place for me. I know that there are a lot of other factors like finical aid, sports, academics and the social scene that contribute to one?s decision, but in the end you should feel a connection to the institution. So listen to what?s inside of you and it will help you make a good choice. My advice to any college student when it comes to making the most of out their college experience is to get involved!! College is about learning new things, making mistakes, and preparing you for your life ahead. So get to know your hall mates, join some clubs, become apart of something and be active and involved. Make the most of the time you have in college by experiencing as many things as possible, and don?t forget to study; you are there for an education first.

As a High Point University Ambassador (tourguide), I have been trained to, more or less, sell a university to a prospective student and his/her family. although a campus tour can be informative it is simply a puff-piece about the school. Through this i have learned that there is no better way to truly get to know a campus than by simply watching students. what do i mean by this? when visiting a campus be sure to pay close attention to the students' every action. observe how they walk, talk, and move their bodies--even down to their facial expressions. A school is best respresented through its students. a student that is dissatisfied with their school will lack a smile or walk without purpose. a student that is unhappy on their campus will carry themselves tall and walk as if they are on a journey to success. furthermore, it may seem superficial but a campus that has good-looking students, that care about how they dress, denotes a college setting that takes value in ones image--and image is, in fact, a necessity for success.
