College Prowler Take

All of the administrative buildings here are very attractive and somewhat luxurious. They are supplied with sufficient air-conditioning for comfort, and there is always a renovation in progress to make appearance even better. The Scripps Howard Building is a few years old and supplied with news-broadcasting televisions and very sufficient amenities catering to the faculty and students. This building brings a very positive impression to the campus and has generated great funds for the University. The new Student Center is a great focus on campus, as well. Being a few years old, it supplies students with a place to hang out, study, get a bite to eat, exercise, play games, and offices for student organizations to meet.

The campus is one of the most attractive in the nation. However, the dormitories on the campus are not as pleasing to the eye on the inside. HU takes much pride in the appearance of and structure outside of the schools and administrative buildings, but focuses less on the residence halls and gyms for the on-campus students. The dormitories are well constructed and are pretty on the outside, but the inside does not, in any way, compliment the outside. Students like the campus, but wish their primary living space could be as up-to-par as their place of learning. The same also goes for the gym facilities; students feel as though the gym is small and old, and needs to be either renovated or torn down altogether. There are also some complaints that classroom sizes are small, and there are some buildings that have yet to install air-conditioning.

A

The facilities on campus are generally very well kept. We have a spacious student center and an amazing library that has a variety of sections for those who want to either host group meetings or study which is extremely convenient. The general campus aesthetics is good. Our school provides us with facilities for our every need.

They Are Ok

B

They need minor changes and they want the campus to be preserved so that why it isn’t really updated. They are trying though because the school has been getting bad ratings about its facilities.

They are trying to upgrade. Some things take a long time. The student center is nice and there is plenty activities on campus if you complain about not being able to do anything, maybe your lazy.

Business

The Student Center and Libraries Are Very Helpful Resources However, Dorms and Residence Halls Lack Modern Apeal.

C

The student center at Hampton University is relatively new and structured to house many student activity events held daily. The library has many resources to help students excel on projects papers but your own dorm is unappealing and old. The dorm state is poor and a number one reason why so many students move off campus immediately after freshman year.

Most students hang out in the Student Center between classes where there is a Lotta Java, Chick-fil-A, Zeros, and Planet Smoothie. Students can bowl in the bowling alley for $1, work out in the fitness center, play games in the game room, or watch television in the TV room, all located in the Student Center.
