Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The campus of HU is a very strict one. The main complaint about strictness deals with the control of people coming on and off the campus. While students appreciate the added protection to an extent, they become frustrated when trying to have visitors, and are baffled by the concept that while there is security checking every car, anyone is able to just walk onto campus. Once upon a time, students had the opportunity of entering the campus near their dorm or wherever they might be going, but Hampton wanted to exercise power and close outside entrances to commuter students by building one-way gates. Since the University has implemented these gates, it causes an inconvenience, primarily for off-campus and commuter students. Additionally, it causes a line when coming into the main gate because students and visitors are frequently questioned of their intended destination and their reason for coming on campus.

HU also has an intolerable strictness with the way students dress. Guys really do not have a problem with the code because their typical dress is so basic. However, if they come outside with a tank top or skull cap, they too are subject to discipline. Students ignore the rules anyway and wear what they want, especially students coming from off campus. HU is known to often go overboard with its strictness. Recently, administration has eased up on its dress code and has started to allow students to wear things that were once off-limits; however, some things are still off-limits. Students also have to dress up in certain buildings and classes. This makes up for why Hamptonians are known for their fashionable and stylish ways. Yet, it is one thing to run an orderly campus, but it is another when students feel as though their personal lives are being run by officials, when all they want to do is learn. Well, most of them anyway.

Hampton is a private school and they definitely act like it. Just don't do bad things or don't get caught.
