High Point University is a host for many international students, including Emile Ménard.
Ménard is from a town located 45 minutes outside of Montreal, Canada. He misses his hometown, but also is enjoying his time at HPU and his involvement on campus.
“I got recruited for golf, visited twice and thought it was the best fit for me,” said Ménard. “I felt like I would play more here.”
So far, Ménard has had fun on the golf team and enjoys playing with his teammates.
He thought it was a great choice for him because of the golf team and because the school offers the exact major he was looking for.
Ménard is currently majoring in political science, and his favorite class he has taken at HPU so far is international relations.
Though Ménard has many things he loves about the university, he enjoys the size of it the most.
“It is pretty small, so everyone knows each other,” Ménard said.
He said that there is a lot of diversity in the HPU community, which makes it a great experience for him overall.
So far, Ménard has enjoyed his time here and is looking forward to the years to come.
