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!
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.
They continuously motivated students through being open and honest about any problem we brought to them. They also opened my eyes to new opportunities and internships that gave me a better view of the veterinary field. I was able to land a internship at the Smithsonian and have contact with the Dr. Pierre Comizzoli, who researches Animal physiology at the Smithsonian. Another professor told me about Adventures of Veterinary Medicine which is a week long summer program. With the help of recommendations from my Molecular biology and Physics professor I was not only accepted but was also awarded a scholarship for it. The Professors there really helped me find myself and opened my eyes to an impactful career that I love and can make a difference in. I have learned so much over the years and have been exposed to amazing people and experiences because of it. I know without a doubt, that I wouldn't be where I am today without the wonderful professors at Hampton University.
