High Point University: They didn't build colleges like this in my day

We took a video tour of some of the newer facilities at fast-growing High Point University last week.

The new communications school was especially impressive, with its chandoliers, gaming technology and state-of-the-art video equipment and studios.

Then there are the fountains throughout the campus and the piped-in outdoor music.

Heck, when I went to Carolina, we couldn't even get them to put doors on the men's bathroom stalls.

I'm thrilled for HPU's successful building program and business-like customer satisfaction for students. I wonder where all the money is coming from. Is it all donated? Is this simply hugely successful fundraising?

He does it mostly with fundraising, but also incremental tuition increases. Enrollment helps, too. It's way up.
