I came to High Point very excited to start college, especially in the “southern hospitality” setting I was promised.  The campus was beautiful and everyone seemed really happy and excited for the new year.  For the first week I went to a lot of student activities, which were fun.  The cafeteria seemed amazing, and gradually got worse after the parents left their kids for good.  What I began to realize after that was that this school really is like a cult.  Everything and I mean EVERYTHING is “extraordinary”.  Really?  If you want to claim that a bunch of northern assholes getting plastered, having casual sex quite often, and smoking marijuana like it's necessary to their survival, then yes.  Sadly, it took me too long to realize how terrible this place is.  It drains you, unless you go greek.  Let me explain “greek life” on this campus.  With the exception of a select few individuals, greek life means; to buy your friends, who you hate underneath it all (legitimate frienemies) and to focus almost all of your attention on getting plastered (many times to the point of embarrasment, or getting sick or in legal trouble), as well as doing drugs.  Also, if you are in a sorority, especially certain girls I knew in Gams and Zeta, can you say STDS?  Its like the fraternities pass these girls around.  I have seen them treat non-greek people TERRIBLY as well so if you aren't greek stay away from these vermin.  How sad is it that the university is using grant money to put them in their own area?  Either they realized that these people are litterally poisioning their university and they are quarentining them from the general population or they just think funding will keep coming.  I mean, if you step foot in any of the frat or sorority houses, especially the frat (think lambda, sig and theta) they are destroyed, falling apart the police get called often, etc.  GROSS!  If you want a real experience without the clicky assholes WHO ARE ALL FROM UP NORTH what a surprise, dont go here.  By the way, High Point is also a very dangerous city, and they also make threats against HPU students (which in alot of cases are legitimate, rich little babies who use daddys money to waste their education on drugs and booze).  No really, the locals HATE the “spoiled rich kids” on campus.  And I would too, its a generally poor area and these arrogant kids are driving around with mom and dads brand new Beamer or Mercedes.  Get a clue you degenerates.  Just wait til you realize the real world isnt going to wipe your ass for you.

responseYep, reviewer is right on target. All of the things the reviewer mentioned are reasons I'm really hoping that my transfer application gets accepted. I can't get out of here fast enough.
