Easy drive to HPU. We chose to Uber most of the stay due to graduation festivities  and it was very affordable with awesome Uber drivers who live in Greensboro area.

As soon as you get out of your car at High Point University you will appreciate that there is something special at High Point. From leadership there has flowed a genuine love for the success of students. The water and fountains prophesy a transforming atmosphere. There are motivational messages embedded in the stone/brick walkways. Our visit was powerful.

When I heard it was in the top 5 prettiest campuses in the country I was dubious, but...wow! The amount of money they have invested to build it up with as many modern, clean, well appointed structures and bronzes all over the place. From the Disney like security gates on both ends to the fountains, the place is incredible
