A few years ago, my son and I visited HPU as he was considering colleges...

and I had the same impression on HPU...it was like a resort. But I was turned off and so was my son. It felt like a cult. We toured an academic building during an 8 am class and all the students were dressed nicely (girls in dresses, boys in khakis and polos). My son thought that was really wierd. And so did I. It was wondering when the Kool Aid was going to be distributed. He chose VT....and boy am I glad.
