Being at High point University

College is a big part of everyones life, its where we find ourselves, where we experience a whole new way of learning and its how and where we learn to be on our own. Being at High Point has had it ups and downs, it different for everyone but for me, the easiest way to put it is that I will be transferring after this semester.

I have met so many great people here, my friends on campus are my favorite thing about this school. We have all become so close and have always been there for each other. I even get to live with one of them. Its great having all them so close to me at all times for whenever I need them or they need me. Its been a long and hard first semester so having them around really took some of the weight off my shoulder.

Don't get wrong I don't hate the school but there are just things I miss when having to be so far away from home. I'm from Boston, and you know us Bostonians we love where we are from and love being there. So being so far away is hard. I miss my family, and friends and boyfriend. I miss not being able to go home and have a home cooked meal, and being all the way in North Carolina I feel trapped. I just want to be in a place where I can go home without having to pay $300 for a plane ticket.

One thing I did love about the school is my classes. I don't have any other college professors to compare the ones at High Point too but they have been great. I have learned so much from them and they are all so willing to spend time with me to help me understand the material and email me back as soon as possible whenever I was confused. Just overall being so helpful. I never really hated coming to class, they made me excited to learn.

This school has its ups and downs but it really is a great school. My first semester was successful, I made it out alive with a GPA I am proud of and thats all that really matters. Next semester is going to be weird being somewhere new but hopefully comforting knowing I will be close to home.
