Computers are Available
There are various computer labs which are available and you able to use depending on your department or class. Not all departments have a computer lab, but there is one in the library that is accessible for public use. Some buildings have free printing but your computer log-in has to be registered for the specific classroom or facility. They just expanded the bandwidth of the Internet service, so it has been going very fast. The campus has wireless, but it is not available in some dorms, and you would need to use an Ethernet cord. You need the use of a personal computer and printer. Paying for printed pages really does add up, and the computer labs aren't open after midnight.

Experience
My experience at Hampton has been great. I love the big parties that everyone goes to and dresses up for. We have something called Alpha Cab which one of the fraternity's throws. It's one of the highlights of the year and you usually stay in a hotel with everyone and go to a club that night. What makes HU unique are the people and the way everyone strives for success. We all have the same goals and have the same expectations of everyone. All the students dress up for class and it's like a fashion show every day. I wouldn't choose a different school. I just wish there were more opportunities around us.

Financial Aid
Financial aid counselors are hard to reach on the phone. You have to go up there physically in order to get some service. They do not give students a lot of financial aid or grants. There aren't that many scholarships for students unless they have high grades or are in specific programs.
