<p>I had two kids attend HPU. To respond to some of the comments here:</p>
<p>-yes, parking spots are reserved for visiting students with their name on it. It was appreciated! But, enrolled students do not have their own parking spots. </p>
<p>-The remarks about students being pampered are taken so out of context. Yes, there are benefits like the ice cream truck that always makes me smile when I see it. But, the academics here are stellar. My daughter was in interior design and she is now working with a national fabric designer thanks to an internship she had from HPU. Her friends have all found excellent jobs with big names like Bank of America. Some of her other friends have gone to grad school and their HPU background was of great help to them.</p>
<p>-No one has mentioned the steakhouse that is included in the tuition once a week and teaches students about etiquette and interviewing skills. This alone impressed us so much. No other college takes such a sincere interest in showing students the important life skills needed to succeed.</p>
<p>-Most of the comments I read on this board are so petty in the grand scheme of things, but I recognize it is hard to understand the uniqueness of HPU without visiting. Yes, it is beautiful, but there is a lot of substance in the academic department that backs it up. And I say that from experience with two HPU alum children. They are constantly hearing positive things about HPU from people. It makes us very proud!</p>
