Major: Business - Management and Administration (This Major's Salary over time)
The campus and facilities are beautiful and well maintained. My professors this year have been great…qualified, professional and caring. There are several things that potential students should consider. First, there are many hidden costs. Most freshman use Tier I housing which is included in the base tuition but it is very difficult to find Tier I housing after freshman year. The food service boasts about its five star steak house but it is nearly impossible to get a reservation since space and hours are limited. Also, HPU claims that Greek life is only 30% but in fact Greek life is everything. If you don't join a fraternity or sorority your social life is severely limited. The costs associated with Greek life are very high. Last, the administration has been very disappointing. I was the victim of an unprovoked violent attack on campus which has left me with ongoing medical problems. The perpetrator was found to be "not responsible," leaving me to feel victimized all over again.
