College Prowler Take
Hampton University requires an acquired patience and has issues you would probably not endure at another university. The financial aid mix ups, runaround, and the registrar’s office’s inability to provide answers can make any Hamptonian want to pack their bags and transfer elsewhere. The crazy weather, poor transportation and parking, and the neverending hunt for something to do at night, while frustrating, can also lead to some interesting memories and experiences. It can even make for a good story or two. On the other hand, the educational experience students receive is one of the best in the HBCU system, full of inspirational teachers and awesome classes. The friends you make and relationships you build at Hampton make any student or alumni proud to live out a Hampton University experience. Many meet their lifetime mates either while attending Hampton, or by meeting a Hampton alumni later in life at a job or other event. Hampton students and alumni are everywhere and can tell you about the good times and bad times they spent at the University. The HU experience is definitely one-of-a-kind. At Hampton, you come in with the feeling that this is going to be the best experience of your life, when in actuality, it has become a lesson of choice and decisions, yet not regretted. The campus scenery will entice you, the academics will challenge you, the student body will enthrall you, and everything else will, without doubt, fall into place. The college experience is, in the long run, what you make of it. And at Hampton, you’ll have the opportunity to make it everything you could possibly hope for and more!

In four years, the greatest experience of mine at HU has been the teachers I’ve had for my English classes. The most horrifying experience is dealing with financial aid. You would not believe what a person can go through with a despicable school that wants to be stingy with its money. And, on top of that, tell you that they over-awarded you in your grant, and you have to pay it back. Overall, HU was a good experience. However appalled I might have felt at a particular time, this is my school, and I feel I made the right decision coming here. |

HU was a riveting experience. I would call HU a gem, rough around the edges but smooth on the top. And it looks great on me—well, on my resume, at least. |

They were always telling me that HU is a very good school, and that my experience would be one to remember, and it was. The academics I have received are superb. I especially like the fact that the classes were small, so my teachers could focus on me. |

I have inspired students to come here, and I want to continue to do so. This school has so much to offer its students, and I have been blessed to have received so much from this University. Thank you HU! |

Hampton University felt like being in high school again on one hand, and on the other hand, it was an experience that will take me into the real world. I’ve never experienced more irritation or drama before I got to HU. However, I’ve learned a lot about life at this University, and there are details of my life that would not have been the same had I gone anywhere else. |
