High Point University Reviews
On a specific note, the manner in which HPU leadership showed sincere care and compassion for each student as well as their faculty/staff and surrounding community testifies to the decency and moral compass that is the foundation of this school. Their outreach and support especially during the COVID-19 pandemic was unscripted, unselfish, and unrestricted. They engaged the student remotely--through videos of students favorite walks on campus, cooking classes online by their top campus chefs, updates on PPE supplies locally, regular heart-felt video messages from President Qubein--and created every way for the student to stay connected to their "Home Away from Home."
