学生评价
- Academy of Freedom – The Academy honors program is wonderful, and everyone is extremely helpful. That's what attracted me to HPU, and they professors are all helpful and caring. They want you to succeed, and make it their job to help in any way they can.
- The professors are amazing and are extremely helpful. If they don't know something, they're always willing to point you in the right direction. They are understanding, and if you have a problem, they'll help you with that too. I've never felt more comfortable going up to a professor and asking for help.
- Good and Bad – While there are some professors are not as committed to the student success the majority of the professors are there because they have a passion for teaching and investing in students lives. Often times the work load is very manageable.
- Howard Payne is a great University and i chose it because it is in brownwood where i live. it's a great school that offers many majors. the professors are always willing to help.. most of them at least. there are plenty of sports to play if your an athlete. the regristration process was pretty quick. its a fun school, i like it.*(5)
