I have been reading many reviews on HPU. Half of them saying that it’s the best University and that it’s wonderful. The other half saying it’s terrible. HPU is in my top 2. So, I want to make the right decision. Is High Point a great school? Or is it just a party school for upper class kids?
One way to measure student satisfaction is the freshman retention rate. At HPU about 75% of freshmen return for their sophomore year. You could see how that compares with your other top school.
so many variables can be looked at. Not knowing what your other top school is I would look at it this way. What is it that you really like about HPU? Is this something that’s going to make college more “fun” or “comfortable” or is it something that’s going to help you in the real world? Look at the big picture and choose the school that’s going to help you after your four years of college are over. Which school will leave you better prepared for a career… which school will leave you with less debt? Which school do you feel truly reflects who you are? HPU is a beautiful campus but it’s somewhat small… will you be bored after a while on a smaller campus? Freshmen retention rate is also very important as mandymd mentioned. Do you live father from one school than another? put it all on paper see what looks best and go with it. Good luck to you!
