Read Hundreds of Quotes from Hampton University Students

Read samples from the Hampton University guide below:

Academics

“Well, this is my first year here, so I’m just getting used to everything, but I like Hampton, so far. My teachers are really nice, and the work is not too overwhelming—at least not yet.”

Diversity

“I would like to see a little more diversity on campus, because right now there isn’t much at all. I see a few international students, but they are all on sports teams and hang out together.”

Guys & Girls

“The guys and girls here seem to interact well. Most people in general are pretty social. Guys don’t try to impress the girls like it seems the girls try to impress the guys. The girls seem real uppity, and the guys seem either real non chalant or really...”

Athletics

“Go Pirates! I absolutely love going to Hampton games. I have to admit I don’t really support the Lady Pirates games like I should. In the two years I have left here, I’m really going to try to support the other teams, including the IM teams.”

Academics

The academics and reputation of this University are the main reasons why students are attracted to HU. The smaller class sizes and fine teachers are greatly appreciated by the students and alumni.

Diversity

Any student looking for a diverse college would be disappointed with HU’s status. Being a Historically Black College (HBCU), HU has little to no diversity. Religiously, most students identify themselves as Christians. With 65 percent of the population being from out-of-state, there are many students from northeastern, southern, and western parts of the United States, which mixes up the general environment. The regional diversification can be detected mostly through the way people speak, how they cook, and...

Guys & Girls

HU girls are the talk of the town—literally! All the locals get excited when they meet a female from HU, or an “HU chick.” HU girls have the reputation of being “high-class, bourgeois” females. Some are actually considered “ditzy” and materialistic. A lot, though very smart, party hard on Saturday nights, and get up in time for church on Sunday mornings. The high-spirited HU guys are always trying to snag an HU girl, however, they are not always successful. But, with a ratio of 5:1, which sometimes seem as...

Athletics

Royal blue and white are HU’s colors, but don’t expect to come and see the students on campus draped in them. In general, students tend not to show off their school spirit and paraphernalia. There is some support for the football team, but overall, the Pirates tend not to come out to support their teams. The most support comes during Homecoming, but even then, it tends to be more of a fashion show for meeting and greeting than about the game. It’s usually in the athletes themselves that people will find the...
