Going from high school to college was a big jump for me, and I wasn't ready to attend a university or college with 25,000 students. Attending Hampton University was the perfect opportunity because of the number of students, complex workouts (being a student-athlete I loved being pushed to be the best of my abilities), and not being too far from home. Also, I met a lot of great friends and contacts from all over the US. Finally, two changes that first came to mind for change were renovating the dorms and having more employees and staff at the cafe!
Hampton University has been a good place to go to school for an African American woman. Being black woman going to a school that lifts black women and uplifts black culture period is a very good experience. Yet with the love and support of an HBCU behind your back they do come with flaws. Hampton University is an out-dated school. Every building is very old. Yes Hampton University was built in 1861 but it's very evident that much wasn't updated over years especially in the older buildings. They also don't have many gatherings and events for freshmen. Also for students looking for fun and parties it's not the school for you. It's just not a super party school. However, the school is amazing for journalism and business majors. Also has a lot of funding for ROTC, journalism, and business majors. Hampton is supportive of students safety and mental health. Hampton University is a great school and many people should consider it because of the love and community that's there.
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!
