HLGU’s athletic community is very friendly and diverse. There are many countries represented throughout the different programs which definitely contributes to the friendly nature of the athletic community.

I enjoy the size of the campus because it is just a little bit bigger than where I graduated high school and it feels safe and secure. I enjoy the dorm that I live in because of how big it is and it feels like home. I enjoy how friendly everyone on campus is to one another.
