<p>I'm stuck in between these two schools and even after I've researched both schools they both have their share of good and bad reviews. I was wondering if anybody has had or know anyone who has had some kind of experience with either one of these schools? I was accepted into both universities and I received a scholarship from Campbell but I'm still stuck between the two? Any suggestions or comments would be helpful, thanks in advance </p>
<p>Please give us some info about yourself so that we can help. Are your parents able and willing to pay for either of these schools? Is the scholarship at Campbell a significant amount? What is your intended major? Have you visited both schools, or do you have visits scheduled soon?</p>
<p>I would not worry too much about online reviews, and instead try to connect personally with visits, and go beyond the admissions tour. Spend the night, attend classes, meet real students who don’t work in admissions. Hang out in cafeteria or coffee shop and people watch. Attend a sporting event/musical concert, etc. to see what student life is like outside the classroom.</p>
<p>Finding the school that is the best “fit” for you is more important than any review. Well, that and being sure you can afford to pay for 4 years. Yes, you need to check for academic strength, graduation rates, and job placement. But you are really looking to find a community of like-minded students for your college adventures.</p>
<p>Good luck to you!</p>
<p>High Point has a reputation to be a school for spoiled, rich, white kids who couldn’t get into Elon or other colleges in NC (or the wider South). It’s like a country club where you can learn but it’s not the best college around. You can choose it for the facilities but in terms of academics you’d be better served at the UNC’s campuses. 50% do graduate in 4 years though.
Campbell is a religious college and it takes faith (Baptist) seriously. Classes are all steeped in biblical principles. That extends to daily life: There aren’t any coed dorms, for instance. It’s a little smaller than High Point. It’s a NCAA Div I school and has an awesome golf course. Only 30% graduate in 4 years.</p>
