Pretty good college to go to. I went here for 3 years and got my diploma. Teachers and other staff are all very nice and willing to work with you. I enjoyed the community feeling of this college. Everyone is welcoming and nice to one another here. Some negatives though since it’s a rather small/private college, but overall I’m glad to have graduated from here.

I graduated from HPU, and some of the best memories of my life were made here. I received an excellent education, made lifelong friends, and found permanent mentors in many of my professors.

Its a great school. Great teachers and staff. Small, but big enough. Small city school. Watch out for those Howard Payne goggles everyone gets after a year of being there. INCREDIBLY expensive. So make sure you okay with being in debt for most of the rest of your life.

Its been 46 years since I attended Howard Payne University, but it was the time of my life. Things were very different then. The great thing was that all students were given and even break ! We never had a chance to see unrest, but from my view point that was the climate in Brownwood, Texas. My Family moved there from the Big city my issue was never with the school, the people or the small city. We a had the best opportunities. My Brothers loved their I could walk downtown Howard Payne offered true campus life. I had a Blue and Gold Bennie! I attended the MacArthur Academy of Freedom . My God it was wonderful. I loved it!

How can you all say HPU is a school that is worth the money they charge? Please visit and learn about other Universities and Colleges in Texas before you commit to this school. See for yourselves, compare, directly talk to students. You will see this school is not worth your investment. Dont even take what Im reporting as is--seek the truth. I dont believe the other ratings posted are true customers and thats how keep fooling people.

Best school I could have gone to. Professors and staff are very helpful, and genuinely care about students. Loved the campus, and Brownwood really grew on me too!

Upward of 30k a year in tuition and their accreditation is at stake? I guess it costs extra to be a Christian in this world. I would shop around and find a more reasonable alternative considering the degrees offered and the social restraints imposed upon the adult students. Give unto Cesar.

The school is small but the people are great. Great place to study.

I was a student at HPU in the 1970s and have been teaching at HPU since January 2007. It was an excellent place to prepare me for life 40 years ago and I am delighted to be a part of that continuing heritage today. Howard Payne University is the road less traveled which makes all the difference for a host of folks who are looking for an excellent education from a Christian perspective.

Just one of the best places to go. For sure the best in Brownwood. I miss it.

HPU is a great place to be. I am a third generation graduate and a successful career woman. HPU gave me the personal attention I needed to become a well rounded and informed community contributor.

A generally effective school. From my personal perspective the student population was ineffective in political and religious discourse however the professors were and the professors were incredibly polite and welcome to dissenting opinions.

Best 4 years of my life. If you want to be a teacher or preacher, there is not a better school

As both an employee and a student, I can truly say that Howard Payne University is a great place!

Something is always going wrong in veda hodge lobby which is the only girls dorm. Fire alarms go off for no reason, a/c doesnt work...its miserable to try to sleep. Plus side no community bath except in boys dorms. Boy dorms are so small closet size. Caf food is well....not your mothers cooking....... unless its a jacket Monday. On the Brightside campus is small, teacher are reasonable, sincere, and really want you to succeed. If you dont play a sport join a club or youll hate it unless you like being completely alone and bored. Miss Margie will be your favorite person on campus. Financial aid is office are a breeze to work with SUPER helpful. Dean Marsh is very understanding, really laid back.

I Am Being Scouted By HPU For Football & Are STRONGLY Considering Calling This Place Home For The Next 4 Years.

Many great memories.made allot of true friends here.

Love the school, students, and atmosphere.

I have already committed to HPU and when I went there for a visit I fell in love and play to call it home.

Fantastic looking campus

I like to visit

Loving it
