[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter brought up High Point (she likes the dorms and the student center) and I started briefly reading about it. Wow sounds a little like a place to park the rich kid so they get the “paper” and can inherit the family money with a college degree. Anyone have any good stories to share or should I tell my daughter to forget about it?[/quote]

This entire thread saddens me, that opinions of "Anonymous" are allowed to slander a university and it's staff. As a single mom, of a junior at HPU, and what my daughter has experienced is nothing short of amazing at HPU. We do not come from "family money."  From getting a job with a global firm in her field during her 2nd year to access to other amazing opportunities, there is no where else I would have wanted her! She went out and got that job, and networked! She is seen by professors, learning programs and systems in her field that her friends at other universities have zero access too, and so much more. I am grateful she isn't just a number and given the "rich kids" opportunity as Anonymous calls it. Those who spew hate either go based off of rumors and speculation, and have never been to HPU, or they feel the need to slander because they could not get into HPU, and are hurt because of it. It is sad either way. But first and foremost that piece of "paper" they, they have worked their tails off for. I know this post is late, but for anyone else looking at HPU, don't let "Anonymous" hid and slander, decide for yourself. [/quote]
It is not slander that for 2 years in a row High Point has had accreditation issues.

A ding from SACSCOC is not slander. This is their most critical accreditor. If my university had this it would be a huge huge deal. It's unusual and bad. [/quote]

And the ding pertains to student learning outcomes so it’s not like there are just administrative concerns, but actual potentially serious issues with the quality of education.

What is the value of a degree from HPU in light of this? Seems like a gamble and risk I’m not willing to take with my student and pay for.[/quote]
