when i came to college i was expecting to have "That Experience" everyone always talked about. Well at Hampton you will never have that experience. I don't even know where to start, the dorms and all buildings are trash. As much as we pay in tuition there are chalk boards in classrooms. There is Nothing around the school, you have to drive or catch a cab to go anywhere. The school is very isolated. Campus is boring and there is basically no greek life. There are so many stupid rules. The administrators are always worried about the wrong things. Dont get me wrong , everywhere you go there will be rules. But hampton University takes it to another level.There are hardly any food choices, either the cafe, chick-fil-a, pirates grill,subway,tropical smoothie,or university cafe, and some of those places don't even accept gourmet dollars. The school is such a disappointment. I regret ever coming here. The one good thing here is the marine Environmental Science program. All of the professors are brilliant. Since its such a small program you develop great bonds with all the professors in the department. There is no nightlife unless you consider turning up in the harbors fun. Which gets very old very quick. I feel as though hampton University use to be a great school but it has fallen very far down. This isn't "Hillman" or anything like it. The students are typical black students , it's nothing new if you previously went to predominantly African american school. I wouldn't recommend this school to my worst enemy.

I attended Hampton Univesity from 2005 to 2009. I completed my degree in Aviation Mangement. I am no an airport manager. While attending HU I had similar complaints as the ones posted. After I graduated I started to think back and appreciate all the struggles that I incurred because it all made me a better person. It prepared me for the struggles of the real world. You have to take advantage of the campus and make friends. Make friends and explore the 7 cities. Get in some trouble, go out! I miss my HIU every day I wish that I could go back. I miss going to buckroe beach after class.. I miss the cookouts with the frats and basketball and football players. I miss the tailgating at the games. I miss the 12-2 in the student center everyday. I miss being around my fellow black scholars. Take advantage of the opportunity you are experiencing at Hampton University. It is a once in a life time experience, dont be a dorm rat. Get out of that dorm and find something to do! Fun is there in Hampton, as always, it is what you make it! I hope my advice helps for you all that struggle. See you at homecoming! Missy

Hampton is exactly what you make of it. Faculty and staff can be rude but it helps you to grow into the mature individual that you should be. As far as academics I am well pleased in what I recieve from HU, ppl are kinda closed minded when it comes to the social life. The only reason I would not come back to HU is due to tution. I mean its a good school but not worth what I pay for it!
