If you are local, you know that High Point University has really grown over the past few years. To help put that growth into perspective, consider the fact that since 2005, undergraduate enrollment has grown 183% and the operating budget has increased by 368%; buildings on campus have increased 245% (from 22 to 76 buildings) and campus has expanded from 92 acres on Montlieu Avenue to 327 acres and growing.* If you haven't had a campus tour, you owe it to yourself to do so. Without one, you might be left with the idea that all is glitzy and ostentatious. When you listen to the philosophy, you understand that everything on campus is done for a purpose. You get steak dinners once a week not only to be well fed, but to develop the etiquette that accompanies eating with a full place setting on nice china, being served, while carrying on a nice conversation. By the time students graduate, they know how to go forth and navigate the adult world.
The above photo is the letter seating in one of the dining areas in the student union. Every detail of the physical facility from the lovely grounds to the classrooms to the dorm rooms are polished and well cared for.
As for H-P-U, all we can say is W-O-W...
