Team HPU · Your HPU day starts at 7:42 AM

Your HPU day starts at 7:42 AM

It's 7:42 AM. Your alarm is going off. Your roommate is texting. The lunch group chat is already arguing. And tonight, somebody needs to find the face paint.

Make 10 quick choices and we'll build your very own day at High Point University, from chocolate chip pancakes at The Silver Line Diner to a seat at Panther basketball.

Build My Day

No wrong answers. Although full purple face paint does tell us a lot.

“It's 7:42 AM.”

A real minute puts them in the moment. “Every morning” puts them in a brochure.

“The lunch group chat is already arguing.”

How 17-year-olds talk. Not how admissions offices talk.

“Build My Day”

The button names what they get. “Learn more” names a chore.

“No wrong answers…”

Takes the pressure off. The wink says a person wrote this.

the quiz, in their words

One question.Four personalities.

A

Up, dressed, and headed to The Silver Line Diner for chocolate chip pancakes like a real adult.

Okay, overachiever.

B

Snooze once. Maybe twice.

Respectable. Strategic snoozing is still strategy.

C

Coffee first. Humanity later.

Starbucks is right there at the Slane Center. Humanity can wait.

D

Class starts at 10. Waking up at 9:41 is technically time management.

We admire the confidence. Please locate your shoes now.
