College Prowler Take
It is a roof over your head and a place to lay your head, but the residence halls are not the most luxurious style of living. Most people stay on campus because it is convenient to get to class, to take a quick nap between classes, or because their parents force them to. Most students are thankful for their experience in the dorms and feel that they wouldn’t have adjusted well to HU without it. The most fun and happiness in a dorm is acquired during the freshman year. After that, the only pride taken in your freshmen dorm is during the freshman step show in which current freshmen step and former upperclassmen residents cheer for the dorm. Normally, if your dorm has won a step show, the most pride is shown. However, there is always some problem with the dorms, primarily the female dorms, because males and females differ in living and the conditions. There are the normal problems with toilet water pressure and leaky faucets, but the rodents and rules are what make students flock to off-campus living. The dorm rooms on this campus are old looking, the beds in the rooms are uncomfortable, and the windows are old and may not let in a breeze. On-campus housing is only somewhat decent if you are lucky enough to live in a room by yourself, but you are left with the responsibility to have to pay $300 more a semester for earning privacy. The most respected dormitory on campus is Holly Tree. These residents are happier about their living space than any other on-campus resident. Students Speak Out

These dorms are fair. Of course,...
These dorms are fair. Of course, some are better than others. Overall, I think they are okay, for the most part. The only things I really hate about living on campus are all the rules. Visitation from the opposite sex is so limited, and they yank it away whenever they feel the need. I like Pierce Hall because it’s so intimate. I’d definitely have to stay away from James Hall just because it’s nicknamed ‘the ghetto.’ |

I hate our dorms. I’ve been trying to move off campus, but my plans continue to fall through. The worst female dorm is Queen Street. I stayed there last year and had nothing but problems. The bathrooms there are by far the nastiest thing I have seen in my life. |

These dorms are hideous. I think it’s terrible that with all the money we pay to be here, we are not even allowed our own refrigerator and microwave in our rooms. I’ve seen all types of critters and things with tails in my tenure here. I would recommend Holmes for the boys and McGrew for the girls. I would stay away from Queen Street and James Hall. |

Most people can’t wait to move off campus if they have the funds and opportunity. The bathrooms are the worst part. White is one of the nicer dorms, only because it’s still pretty new, and people haven’t had the chance to destroy it yet. |

The dorms are bug infested, and I just think with all the money we pay here at Hampton, they could do so much more with the on campus living. I killed countless roaches when I lived in the dorm, and I would never want to live on campus again, at least not with the condition the dorms are in right now. |
