Why you chose HPU: “Truthfully I entered High Point University for a tour not knowing much about it. I had concluded all my college visits except for the last one scheduled at HPU. From Dr. Qubein’s respect of God, family and country, to the quotes featured on the promenade, prompting me to think and grow as I walk the campus, to the learning labs, HPU felt like home right away! As I continued researching colleges, I was hoping to see those messages at other schools, but sadly I did not. I could not envision attending any other university after visiting and understanding HPU’s values. The beauty of the campus is alluring, but the educational opportunities and integrity were the winning factors for me. I am certain that HPU will give me the best opportunity to grow and give back.”
What you’re looking forward to at HPU: ” I am looking forward to starting a new journey of learning in an environment that will be rich in resources, and critical thought. I am excited that I have been given this opportunity and I plan on maximizing my time and energy.”
