Hampton University Top Questions

Being a native of North Carolina, I was accustomed to the humid sub-tropical climate. It rained, but not enough for you to need rain boots, a rain jacket, a bubble-brella, & a boat to get to class! Virginia is very prone to have severe rain and snow storms, and considering the fact that I am conveniently placed on a peninsula... the wind pull is about 10-15 mph stronger. I also wish I would have been familiar with the leadership legacy & standard of excellence everyone is held to. Hampton is the nativity & epitome of leaders in their community.

I wish I had known how my SAT scores could bring in more financial aid.

Before I came to Hampton wish I would of know about how traditional the campus was.

I wish I knew how small of a school Hampton was and i wish i knew how boring the town was. If I had known these two things, I could have better prepared myself for the social life here.

Campus cafeteria and how it was highschool style.....not much varation. My brother went here 12 years ago and its still the same.

Honestly, I wish I had known how to properly dress and I mean really dress. Whether is be business, casual, etc. fashion is sort of a big thing at Hampton. Also, I wish I had known about the things that go on at the school. For instance, we have what we call 12-2 almost every friday, and when you visit it seems cool and fun but, you don't realize that people still have classes during these times and academics come first. Always know education comes first!

Everything that I knew before I attended Hampton was just enough information, and I am glad that i learned certain rules and regulations when I first stepped onto campus.

I wish i would have known how much work and effort is demanded to succeed. Also, I am very dissapointed with the social life at the school.

That the financial aid office staff aren't very helpful.

I wished I knew that we would not be able to take food out of the cafeteria. I also wish that I was able to have my own refrigerator and microwave.
