At High Point, campus life encourages wholeness and empowers students by creating a strong sense of self, if camaraderie, of community. In fact, students, faculty, and staff emphasize-always-the unity of the High Point experience, whether they're playing sports; watching their favorite team; rehearsing for a play; meeting a deadline for a campus publication; debating a political issue; painting The Rock; or gliding across the Greensward in pursuit of a lazy, floating disk.
The foundation of community is residential life. In a typical year two-thirds of the entering freshman come from states other than North Carolina; one-third, from more than 500 miles away. As a result, students tend to stay on campus over the weekends. In fact, even students who could easily go home often don't because their friends at High Point don't and because there is much to do on campus and off.
Each semester, the Student Activites Board, an agency of the Student Government Association, sponsors a variety of entertainment, including comedians, concerts, dances, excursions, film nights, and major campus events, such as Homecoming, Family Weekend, and Spring Fling. Among the most popular student activities are film nights at local theaters. The Student Activities Board splits the cost of the ticket and provides transportation for students without cars.
