Hey Class of 2023-<\/p>\n

Congratulations on your acceptance to my second home: HPU! My name is Sarah, and it was just a few years ago that I was in the same position as you \u2013 a high school senior preparing for college. When I enrolled, I realized there were so many things I had questions about before coming to campus, so I will share a few \u201cfreshman fun facts\u201d with you \u2013 things you need to know when making High Point University YOUR second home.<\/p>\n

As your Freshman Orientation event approaches, I will answer some of your frequently asked questions and let you know what to expect and how to best prepare. I hope that these give you a sense of excitement and comfort as your Freshman Orientation approaches. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
