Cafeteria

The one and only cafeteria at Hampton University is horrible. You have the option of getting food in the Student Center but that will cost money. The only thing that you can get with your meal plan is a nasty plate of food out of the cafeteria. Rumors go on and on about how many times it has failed inspection and how many critters (like roaches) are actually crawling around in there. Word of advice: save money over the summer to stock up on Ramen noodles or to eat out/order take out so that you wont have to deal with the cafeteria.

Forget Freedom

If you thought you were going to get all the freedom you didn't have while living under your parents roof when coming to Hampton University, you thought wrong. Incoming freshman have curfews. You have to be in your dorm room at 11pm on weekdays (Sun-Thurs) and by 1pm on Weekends (Fri and Sat). Only if your behavior and grades (as a freshman class) are reasonably well, you MIGHT get off by homecoming week. My freshman class got off of curfew AFTER homecoming week. Hampton also doesn't tolerate underage drinking or drug use. If you are caught, you might get off with a warning, but don't be pissy drunk or get caught with drugs in your room, because you will end up with a fine or kicked out of school. And they definitely do room inspections of all the resident halls, so don't try to hide your liquor or drugs in your room. By the way, just make sure to ask about the "out by 5:00" rule.
