NJIT Highlanders vs. High Point University Panthers at the Qubein Center…read more I saw that NJIT, a school where I studied engineering before earning my degree in Charlotte, was playing at High Point University on Friday, December 5th at 7 pm. I try to attend at least one Highlanders game each year--usually in Newark, NJ with my longtime friend, an NJIT Alumni, Mike Johnstone. Even after moving to the North Carolina Triangle, I am still committed to seeing at least one Highlanders "Hoops" game annually. This year, the timing lined up perfectly. I had volunteered earlier in the day at the Fall 2025 Senior Design Expo at UNC Charlotte as a Lee College of Engineering alumnus, so the game in High Point was on my drive home. That said, I would have made the trip from Raleigh regardless. High Point entered that night with every advantage--better form, home court, a stronger roster, and momentum; however, I knew I would enjoy cheering on NJIT. High Point competes in the Big South Conference and started the 2025-26 season strong. Going into Friday's game, they were 7-2 overall and were picked in the preseason poll to finish first in the Big South. The Panthers are a solid mid-major program, coming off one of the best seasons in school history and carrying that momentum forward. NJIT, meanwhile, plays in the America East Conference and entered the night at 3-6 overall. Their road performance has been difficult, and historically the Highlanders have faced challenges, with a long-term winning percentage under .400 since joining Division I in the mid-2000s. Still, I was proud to support them. The outcome was expected, and High Point defeated NJIT 89-72. Despite the loss, I was proud of how competitive NJIT was, and I genuinely enjoyed watching both teams--High Point is an entertaining, well-coached squad. About the Qubein Center The Qubein Center is an impressive venue for basketball and university events. It is modern, beautifully maintained, and staffed by exceptionally friendly people--from the ticket office to the ushers. Because I have knee issues that make stairs difficult, I appreciated that the staff proactively offered me a ticket in the back row so I would not need to navigate steps. Access to my seat was seamless: elevator up, escalator down after the game, and no stairs required to reach the accessible men's room or concessions. The section also had non-assigned accessible seating, and the usher kindly allowed me to use one. That made my viewing experience even more comfortable. Overall, the Qubein Center is one of the most thoughtfully designed college arenas I have visited. Parking & Shuttle Bus Experience I parked in a surface lot off North University Parkway (across from Parkway Commons), located directly across East Lexington Avenue from the Qubein Center. High Point University operates shuttle buses between the parking areas and the arena, which made transportation simple and efficient. Even though I hold a North Carolina DMV Disability Parking Placard, I parked in a regular space adjacent to the designated accessible parking. I do this intentionally so that individuals who require van-accessible spaces can use them. The shuttle service was prompt, courteous, and easy to navigate. About High Point University High Point University is a private institution founded in 1924. In recent years it has grown significantly in both size and academic scope. HPU enrolls approximately 5,000 undergraduate students and is known for programs in business, health sciences, pharmacy, communication, education, interior design, and the arts. The university is also recognized for its significant campus investment, student-experience focus, and national rankings for innovation. For the 2025-26 academic year, HPU's estimated undergraduate tuition and fees are in the range of $45,000-$48,000 annually, with total cost of attendance (including room and board) typically exceeding $60,000. About NJIT The New Jersey Institute of Technology is a public polytechnic university founded in 1881 in Newark. It is widely known for engineering, architecture, computer science, applied sciences, and technology-focused business programs. NJIT enrolls roughly 11,000 students, including one of the most diverse engineering student bodies in the country. As a public institution, NJIT's tuition profile is significantly different from HPU's. For 2025-26, in-state undergraduate tuition typically falls in the $17,000-$19,000 range, while out-of-state tuition is generally around $33,000-$35,000. Overall Impression I had a great time attending the game. I was impressed by High Point University, its fans, the professionalism of the staff, and the overall atmosphere the university created before, during, and after the game. The Qubein Center is a standout facility, and the experience was smooth from parking to seating to the game itself. Even though the Highlanders came up short, it was a memorable night, and I look forward to returning.

I have never had such an attentive, caring human being discuss with me in detail for over 45 minutes all the concerns I had to finish my degree in Mental Health Counseling here at Liberty. He lifted a huge weight today off of me and made my whole completion plan clear as day, all the while I felt genuine enthusiasm and desire from him for me to succeed on this path. I have never been so encouraged and supported by someone I didn't even know. His work with Liberty is truly his passion and his desire for excellence is genuine and palpable with the students he is helping. I've gotten a second wind from him and a reaffirmation of my passion to complete my mental health counseling degree and to help others the way he helped me. He truly is a gem of a human being and has kept me a lifelong Liberty student through his service, attention to detail and his care. You have a very talented and exceptional individual in your midst and he is a treasure.

I enrolled in Liberty University's DBA program about three years ago after reading that students do…read morenot have to be Christian to attend. While that may be true, I found that nearly every course incorporated biblical studies and Christian perspectives into the curriculum. As someone who practices Buddhism and had no knowledge of Christianity, I found it difficult to relate to the course content and meet those expectations. After careful consideration, I decided to withdraw from the program because it was not the right academic fit for me. This was a personal decision based on my background and learning preferences, not on the quality of the university itself. I believe Liberty University is an excellent choice for students who are Christian or who are comfortable with a curriculum that integrates biblical teachings throughout the program. However, prospective students from other faiths or those seeking a secular business education should carefully review the curriculum before enrolling to ensure it aligns with their expectations.

First, you will park at the main entrance to Lane Stadium. After a 30 minute information session (which is well-organized), you'll be divided into smaller groups for a 60-minute walking tour to see the interior of a campus building and walk in the residential dormitory area. The campus tour is full of useful information and you'll get a chance to see the interior of a building (but you'll be walking more than 1 mile outside so comfortable walking shoes are a must). Our tour guide walked backwards for much of the tour (which seemed awkward at times). By the end of the tour, you get a sense of how large the campus is (more than 30,000 students) and the Hokie spirit (which values service toward others). Overall, I would recommend the campus tour if you are considering to apply here. The pretty rural location and physical buildings on campus are worth seeing before you commit to applying. One thing that surprised me is that high school students are strongly encouraged to declare their major and college before arriving. Also, the "Hokie spirit" is pervasive on campus, which may be fun for some. The branding logo of Virginia Tech is impressive and appears everywhere from road signs to clothing. I am sure that you will reach your 10,000 step walking goal for the day if you do the tour.

I'm coming at this as merely a visitor. My top-tier chum who literally went to the school of hospitality at VA Tech asked me to accompany her on a campus visit last week, her first time back since her graduation roughly a quarter century ago. She's always spoken very fondly of her time here and just unfortunately hasn't had the opportunity to return until now. Just for context, I went to NYU, which doesn't really have a campus - Washington Square Park is the closest comp to that, but one of the bigger selling points of that school is that NYC is your campus and you're not really cordoned off in your own little world. Pros and cons to both scenarios. I preferred to be dropped in the middle of a chaotic city but I can see the appeal of this type of college living as well. We spent roughly a day here, arriving by car late Tuesday morning and leaving the following day after checking out of The Inn at VA Tech. We were blessed with sunny skies but it was pretty toasty during our visit, in the 90s during the afternoon. For our main tour/walk, we went from The Inn down Perry Street, curving around Stanger Street until we hit the vaunted Drillfield and then visited the Duck Pond. Then we walked up West Campus Drive and down Washington before cutting back into the campus again to see some of her old dorms (I think Newman was one?) before hitting up the University Bookstore and walking into the downtown area for lunch. Especially with the nicer weather, the Drillfield was a great optic - just a gorgeous, lush lawn, and a cool homage (at least in name) to VA Tech's military background. The imposing structure of Burruss Hall was a cool sight right next to it, and right behind a very classy tribute to the VA Tech shooting - we were both wondering as we walked around if we'd see something acknowledging that tragedy from 2007. Initially we thought it was literally just a small kiosk, until turning around and realizing it was a much larger setup with an acknowledgment of each specific victim. My chum graduated several years before that shooting occurred but was obviously/understandably impacted by it in her own way, so that was a nice moment. She was a little disappointed (probably the right word) at how many new buildings had been erected since she'd graduated in 2001. On one hand, that's literally a generation ago so it's not surprising that there have been significant changes in the interim. But it WAS striking how many areas were just flat-out unrecognizable and new to her, particularly in the Perry Street section. I'm assuming that the student population has expanded significantly to accommodate all of the new buildings, but it's just not the same college she left. Not a negative, but probably not a positive either - is what it is. My two cents as a humble outsider is that everything just seems very monotonous - pretty much all of the buildings are constructed of this Hokie Stone, a specific time of rock that's mined nearby, I believe. A couple of buildings composed of that would have been pretty cool; it's got an old school gothic vibe to a certain extent, but after seeing the same building over and over again, I'd politely suggest a little more variety. Again, this school has its roots as a military institute so you definitely got that impression from the architecture as well, but to me it came up short compared to, say, their ACC rival Duke's campus and its buildings, or West Point. Definitely a cool experience to see this, especially through the lens of my top-tier chum and her formative years here. Go Hokies.

In 1996, I saw "Titanic the Expedition" at the Nauticus maritime museum. This was an extraordinary exhibit! I enjoyed attending lectures and roaming the grounds of the Edgar Casey's Association for Research and Enlightenment, when I lived nearby in Virginia Beach. I played a lot of golf at Langley Air Force Base in Hampton. First Fridays are fun in Norfolk and feature free bands with the option to purchse food and drinks. I saw Lisa Loeb and the band Cracker several times at First Fridays. The Virginia Beach area has a lot of lighthouses, and these are really fun to explore! The New River Valley is really pretty with nice hiking/jogging paths. Virginia Beach proper always has something going on from professional sand volleyball tournaments, to professional sand sculpture contests/expos, free yoga classes, the Neptune Festival which marks the end of tourist season, to their iconic Christmas lights display at which you can load up your car and drive on the boardwalk itself! Virginia truly has something for everyone!
