Affectionately called “Our Home by the Sea”, Hampton University is located on a peninsula with a gorgeous view of water on three sides. Promising an opportunity for repose on late summer nights and a refreshing burst of air on winter mornings, the water that surrounds us creates a beautiful atmosphere for our campus. The boats sail across perpetually, leaving us in awe… as we gave in the cryptic mist of and gaze at the “green light”; as if we are members of the Great Gatsby cast patiently waiting to reach our goals and live a luxurious lifestyle.

I usually brag to my friends on the way Hampton University is always pushing their students to put their academics first. I also admire how there is always a member of the Hampton University faculty willing to assist all the students regardless of the subject, time, or location as well as providing information about education and career options. In my opinion, Hampton University's nursing program is always current with new medical information and requirements to make sure the students in this program are well aware of all the changes in their field.

My school is very diverse, in which I like very much. Although it is a Historically Black University, it offers an outstanding experience that a student of any race would enjoy. Not only are we prestigious, but Hampton Univeristy is one of the schools that offered education to Booker T. Washington and other free blacks, especially during the civil war. The freedmen's bureau had a hand in Hampton University assisting Blacks with their transition from slavery to freedom from this school, thus explaining the diversity this school shares with the staff and students.
