From a campus steakhouse to a mock airplane cabin for students, High Point is no ordinary Cinderella
High Point’s bracket-busting NCAA Tournament upset has put the spotlight on the private school in North Carolina that offers some unusual perks for its student body. The campus, home to some 6,300 students, has a steakhouse that’s part of the meal plan where reservations are required. There’s also a mock airplane cabin on campus where students can rehearse talking up executives during a flight. In other words, Cinderella’s slipper might not fit for this school. High Point describes itself as a “life skills university” that teaches students the know-how to be successful.
