Around Town

Brownwood is a quirky town. You have to look to know where to have a good time. Luckily, the faculty at HPU are student-oriented. This means that they come up with a TON of great events for students - most of them are free! There is a lake nearby that allows for a great time during the longer hot months in Texas and sporting events are always great for students to attend.

Movies, abandoned bridges, driving around, parties.

Brownwood is a small town, so the things we do for fun are sort of interesting. A lot of people have movie nights in various locations around campus, and there's a lot of things in and around Brownwood to do for fun. There's always some kind of student life event going on during the weekends.

intermirals, clubs, fellowship, community service, dances, sports

There's not much to do in Brownwood, Tx unless you're a person who thinks everything is fun.

What people can do for fun is go to the gym and play basketball or work out, they can hang out with friends in the lobbies or just play intramurals. pledging is fun as well.

I really like the intramural sports offered at HPU. They give me a chance to be active, without the demands of being in a more organized sport. If I need to study, I will miss practice or a game, and no one will get upset.

There is always just hanging out with friends. There is also driving out to look at the country and stars. We have volleyball and student activities through the school. You definitely have to get creative. I have had a lot of firsts here since I come from a big city and am not used to the small town life.

There are many things to do on campus. One major attraction is called Jacket Golf. Created by a HPU student, the object of the game is to hit a tennis ball to various obstacles located on campus in the recommend amount of shots or less. Played much like regular golf, just no hole and way more fun! If golf isn't your sport, you can sneak away to the Recreational Building or Gymnasium and play a mean game of one-on-one basketball, or table tennis. Brownwood recently placed a disc-golf course at the city park, only adding to the list of things to do.

There is a recreation center where you can rock climb, roller skate, and roller blade !
