A 6 perecent increase is in line with the national average. I think $2,000 a year increase is reasonable considering what it could be. Davidson, Duke, Wake Forest etc are all increasing by more than that.

I don’t think anyone should be concerned with the GPA requirements. If your son or daughter had the discipline in high school to get the grades, they should have that same drive to get the grades now. Yes the classes are harder and I’ll agree that some professors are better than others. Thats the same with any college. I think some students may find the transition difficult, however with all that is going on at HPU, you won’t have time to think about the transition. I think most students will find the transition to be easy. The first couple weeks of college is always the hardest because you don’t know what to expect.

I’ll be transferring into HPU as a junior this fall as a business finance major. I can say that college professors do make a difference. Teaching style, preference, grading, etc. However, not as much to be worried about grades.

What I’m still wondering about is financial packages. Has anyone got anything in the mail? Basically what I’m looking for is a sheet that has on it, how much you’ll get from scholarships, grants, federal aid, etc and what the bottom line is. I’d like to start applying for loans.
