High Point University Reviews
1 Review Submitted For High Point University
- Reviewed on: September 14, 2010
Flag Review - Rating:
- As a freshman at HPU I feel very safe and welcomed. There is always something to do here, and the Professors are easier to meet with here then they were at my High School. the quality of students is rapidly changing and becoming much better. By the time I am a Senior I predict it will be among the top schools in North Carolina. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else but High Point right now.
