When people say college is where you find out who you want to become and where you want to be, well that is very much true. Being at Hampton helped me establish who I am now. I knew who I was and what i wanted out of life but I had some confusions about certain things and being at Hampton just helped me clarify that. I can now stand proudly and speak elegantly when asked a question of what I would like to be or what my future plans are. Hampton has helped me set a road map for my life and future plans, where I want to be, who I am going to be and where I end up after graduation. Any school is valuable to attend because it is a chance to further your educational goals and seek a better life for yourself, family and future generations. It has been valuable to me because I now know who and what I am without any hestitation.

College has indeed enhanced my ability to learn and comprehend not only on an educational level, but also in the real world. I've been faced with situations that I thought I'd never experience, peer pressure being one of them. I've met other young people, some who share the same views and beliefs as me, and others who completely oppose everything I stand for. Furthermore, I've been pressured by friends at home who haven't been as successful as I am. Hampton University has given the opportunity to meet wonderful professors first hand. These teachers have dedicated their time and effort in making sure that students are well equip for the future. College has been valuable to attend because I've learned to be responsible and independent. I've also been able to really identify who I am as a person, and where I stand on certain political views. In addition, I've become much closer to my family, and can honestly say that I am a better person. Although religion is often looked down upon, it is only right for me to acknowledge the fact that I am much closer to God.

I have got many things out of my college experience. Although I do not wish to be far away from home at times (Philadelphia), I have gotten exposure, independence, maturity and peace of mind.

I have learned many things from attending Hampton University, both tangible and intangible. Acquaintances may come and go, but best friends are always by your side. Deadlines are called that for a reason: by the time you write that last line on the last exam of the semester, you feel as if you were dead?asleep. Exercise is a way of life. This is displayed by classmates running to class, running from class, climbing up the stairs when the elevator is broken, going down the stairs when there is a fire alarm, etc. The best exercise machine is the administration: they will run you around campus, make you climb up the walls, and pass the buck so many times you get whiplash. This is all because you asked where the bathroom was, of course. This is how college teaches you to be independent, through insanity. Neither race nor gender matters, everyone is equally irritating. Hampton University has been very valuable in imparting not only academics, but also life lessons that will stick with me for the rest of my life. Friends are forever, it is best to be timely, and caffeine is a necessity for 8 AM classes.

I enjoyed the experience of knowing how to communicate with different people from different places, not only within the United States but throughout the world. I also like the fact that I have had the experience of being out on my own. Both experiences are key to knowing how to survive out in the world and that is what makes the college experience valuable.

It has been valuable to attend this school because it prepares us for the real world and makes us well-rounded people. For example, Hampton has academic help like tutoring, major seminars, and you can talk to the professors. Also, they have social events like Freshman Ball ad we have had mandatory events in Ogden hall where we have to dress professionally .
