[quote=Anonymous]I'm originally from NOVA and I went there - graduated in 2003.  The President started my junior year, so things were still in "before times" for most of my time there.

For me, it was an amazing college experience.  I was accepted to UVA, Wake, Tech, and Elon and chose HPU because I got a free ride (minus room and board) for academics.  I LOVED my time there.  I played intramural club sports, was a campus ambassador, sang in the chapel choir and was a part of sorority.  That's the beauty of a smaller school - you can be involved in a ton of stuff.

My professors were amazing, classes were small and by the time you were taking major classes, there was a core group which was best for me.  Professors knew me by name and wouldn't hesitate to call me out on BS.

I graduated debt free (I understand things are different now), was accepted to a top 20 grad school in my field, and now have a job I love that pays well and gives me the flexibility I need with elementary aged kids.  I still keep in touch with several of my professors and returned to NC two weeks ago for a funeral when the emeritus Chaplin passed away.  His service was filled to the brim with several decades of former students whose lives he'd touched.

I know the country club vibe is completely different from my time there, and I'm not exactly sure how I feel about the elitest vibe the school gives off now.  If your child is interested, go for a tour.[/quote]
