Our “University Reputations and the Public” survey reveals that while the challenges are real, the public isn’t necessarily questioning what universities are actually doing, or offering. Interestingly, the disconnect lies more with how universities are communicating what they are doing.

Why we have college.
by Louis Menand
JUNE 6, 2011
y first job as a professor was at an Ivy
League university. The students were happy
to be taught, and we, their teachers, were happy to
be teaching them. Whatever portion of their time
and energy was being eaten up by social
commitments—which may have been huge, but
about which I was ignorant—they seemed earnestly
and unproblematically engaged with the academic
experience. If I was naïve about this, they were
gracious enough not to disabuse me. None of us
ever questioned the importance of what we were
doing.
At a certain appointed hour, the university
decided to make its way in the world without me,
and we parted company. I was assured that there
were no hard feelings. I was fortunate to get a
position in a public university system, at a college
with an overworked faculty, an army of part-time instructors, and sixteen thousand students.
Many of these students were the first in their families to attend college, and any distractions
they had were not social. Many of them worked, and some had complicated family
responsibilities.
I didn’t regard this as my business any more than I had the social lives of my Ivy League
students. I assigned my new students the same readings I had assigned the old ones. I
understood that the new students would not be as well prepared, but, out of faith or ego, I
thought that I could tell them what they needed to know, and open up the texts for them. Soon

after I started teaching there, someone raised his hand and asked, about a text I had assigned,
“Why did we have to buy this book?”
I got the question in that form only once, but I heard it a number of times in the
unmonetized form of “Why did we have to read this book?” I could see that this was not only a
perfectly legitimate question; it was a very interesting question. The students were asking me to
justify the return on investment in a college education. I just had never been called upon to think
about this before. It wasn’t part of my training. We took the value of the business we were in for
granted.
I could have said, “You are reading these books because you’re in college, and these are the
kinds of books that people in college read.” If you hold a certain theory of education, that
answer is not as circular as it sounds. The theory goes like this: In any group of people, it’s easy
to determine who is the fastest or the strongest or even the best-looking. But picking out the
most intelligent person is difficult, because intelligence involves many attributes that can’t be
captured in a one-time assessment, like an I.Q. test. There is no intellectual equivalent of the
hundred-yard dash. An intelligent person is open-minded ...
College Admissions 101: Why getting into college is easy than you might thinkJermaine Taylor
This presentation is intended to demystify the admissions process by providing an overview, with statistics, charts and studies. The goal is to put students and families at ease at an understandably nerve-wracking. It's also intended to raise awareness of "snake oil salesmen" in the admissions game who may attempt to mislead and take advantage of vulnerable and anxious parents, as well as call attention to the dysfunctional high school guidance system across the country—a system in which 6 in 10 college-going graduates say their high school guidance counselors failed them.

igh Point University was selected from
about 795,000 student opinions as one
of the best college campuses of the
nation, coming in at number five. According
Niche Best Campus Ratings, High Point ex-
celled in the minds of college students through-
out the nation. The ratings were based off of
state-of-the-art labs and classrooms, technology
resources, high quality campus dining and
housing resources. Also, it was found that High
Point students have a strong sense of school
pride and a love for their campus community.

play, such as professor ratings, Greek life and
athletics.

with 5 schools in the top 100, including Duke
University, Davidson College, the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Elon Uni-
versity, all of which trailing behind High Point

ment and public data sets.
“ I feel blessed to be a part of a campus and
community that is as influential as this one,”
says Sophomore Mollie McKinley, “I’ve never
met such gracious people and professors in my
lifetime, I truly feel appreciated.”
“On the process of selecting the University I
would attend for the next four years of my life I
visited various schools but none of them
compred with High Point” says Freshman Jor-
dan Whitehead
