Not so bright
This school has one of the most severe hazing and drug problems , and the campus security are dual Va state troopers, and are agressively trying to arrest students for drinking and minor infractions,and they will hide behind their honer code reputation , when so many students cheat and haze and then rule on other students behavior when those representing the honor committee are hypocritical and just as guilty. The faculty and administration are totally out of touch with what is going on and when there are issues their attitude is that is the law and good luck. I never saw a school with such a cavalier and non mentoring attitude to its students , parents and alumni. This place should be avoided at all costs !

Super Brilliant
Hampden-Sydney College is a one-of-a-kind institution where academics meshes unexpectedly with good southern gentlemen. While they party hard on the weekends, weekdays are all hard work and steadfast determination. It is one of the oldest schools in the nation and takes pride in its tradition. In my mind, H-SC is one of the most amazing places on Earth.

Best thing about the school is the faculty. There aren't many other good things about this school. The surrounding Area sucks...and the social isn't much better. Good thing about the all male campus is Mon-Thur its all male so the school lets us do pretty much whatever we want, gets pretty wild. Girls do come visit but it can't compare to any coed school, because the girls are right there next to you... the honor code is strict yet no one follows it. The one thing the honor code does teach you is to not get caught and the best way to get out of a lie is to make a better lie up. If you get honor courted good chance you might get kicked out. Believe it or not i was honor courted because a professor thought i cheated... i didn't actually cheat but they wouldn't have believed me so the only way for me to not have gotten kicked out of school was to come up with a more believable story (lie). The rhetoric program is stupid. Though i have improved my writing from all the history papers. History professors at sydney are pretty awesome, good program, but the core requirements are stupid Ex; 4 semesters of language. By going to sydney you will most likely graduate with a lower GPA compared to idiot friends going to jmu for example. Sydney isn't as well known as they make it out to be, and even with the alumni connections, It wouldnt pay off against going to an easier school with much better grade.

Pretty much i would stay away from this school. It's a good waste of money, time, and effort. Im a junior and going to this school is the biggest mistake of my life.
