Hampton University is one of the most prestigious HBCUs in the country; it's rooted in tradition and history. Hampton pushes me out of my comfort zone, and pushes me academically and socially. Professors create warm and fun learning environments, that allow for open discussions. The buildings need updates, especially considering how expensive the tuition is, and the quality of the food could be much better. Hampton opened a plethora of networking and connections for me. I constantly get emails about opportunities to grow my skills and resume. There are numerous clubs on campus, and if there is not a club that suits your interests, teachers, and mentors will help you get one started. Hampton prepares young African American and black students on how to be great adults and professionals in the real world, while still teaching them how to embrace diversity. Looking for a university that pushes you academically and has amazing support, then Hampton University is the place to be!
Hampton overall is a fun school, but within the details, not so much. The school cares about money and control over students than the lives and everyday issues that students face. Aside from that, the cafeteria food is terrible, freshmen lose weight rather than gain the 15. Academically, the professors, other than the history department, seem to not care if you pass or fail, nor do they adapt their teachings to form to their class. Sometimes it feels as if they're learning the information the night before teaching it. The math department is the worst of all. It has the most failed classes of any department. And what does the university do about it? Nothing. On a positive aspect, the campus does a great job of providing safe excellent study spaces 24/hr through the campus. Family life and inclusivity have evened the playing field. No matter what type of person you are, there's always a group, club, or activity waiting for you. If I could do it all again, I would have gone to Howard.
This school is really what you make it. Many things at this school were overhyped, I wish I knew that before coming here. Some professors have the best interest at heart. Many others just come for a paycheck. The food is literally hit or miss. Student life, also is what you make it. Dorm living could be wayyy better! Not sure why there are so many freshmen dorms, but not enough upperclassmen dorms. Dealing with a car on this campus can be very frustrating.
