Taking my daughter to visit High Point and Davidson next month. Anybody
Familiar with either schools? I've heard that you either love or hate High Point and that the campus is amazing but the surrounding area is sketchy.
I do know that both are expensive!

near the university - but no more so than any small/average size city. There difference is the campus is very nice - right beside some of those areas. You don't go to HP for what else is in the area, but like anyplace, if you look hard enough there are interesting things.
The HP president is a fundraiser extraordinaire. They freely admit they are a "life skills" institution - not heavy research or stereotypical academia. They admit their impressive facilities are partly to ensure their students are comfortable in high end/ritzy settings, although that also matches the upbringing many of them had - and the cost confirms that.

She is definitely doing liberal arts studies and has found some interesting interships in Charlotte this summer.

And more well rounded than many science only based education.
It’s all what the student wants, and what they do with it.

is does look more and more anachronistic as we trod forward in increasingly techno pursuits.

skills, interpersonal relationship skills among the architectural, building construction, property management and brokerage firm communities, organizational and administrative skills, technical editing and production skills with a pretty hefty number of industry vendors. The list goes on and on.
Naturally, on the outside, some might equate it with that nitwit 'camera' on their phone. LOL.

Plus a good deal of Engineering common sense.
