Hampton University

"The experience going to school here was an honor and a privilege. But I had a few rough patches too. It’s been 13 years and I still remember the dean of business throwing a Wall Street newspaper at me because I wasn’t familiar with it. He was pathetic as a human being and his professionalism was worse than a second grader my regret was not reporting him. Other than that I respected my time at Hampton University, thank you for the opportunity."

"The guards at the gates made our trip to explore the university kind of unwelcoming (sign of the times I guess, maybe to protect the next generation)but here's some cool statues. Hopefully one day our youth can learn in peace"

"This school has a lot of false advertisement.. I have not met one staff member with a positive or helpful attitude, with the exceptions of the counselors. A huge scam is the food. They say that there’s so many options with food but half of the places that are advertised to eat are closed down. Advisors are not attentive to students. A lot of the freshman dorms look like psych wards or jails, which is uncomfortable, and they have little space. On each floor there is 1 small microwave and 1 mini fridge that you share with the entire floor, which would be around 30+ people, and then they do not allow you to have those appliances in your room. They also do not let freshman-sophomores have vehicles on campus, however with that they also do not provide daily transportation. So if you do not have money for constant ubers/cabs during the week you will most likely not be getting anywhere except for fri-sat. The wifi reception is so bad that some people have to walk almost off campus to get work done, hopefully you have a hotspot. These issues are complained about but nothing is done. They will hardly pick up the phone, and when they do they are dismissive. I have so many complaints and not much positives to say. I mean the outside is pretty. Take what they advertise with a grain of salt. Do your research first, find some support groups to talk to people who actually have experience here and see if this school is the right fit for you before they take your money."

"This university’s website falsely advertises programs that they don’t offer. If you do decide to look into this school get EVERYTHING in writing with their staff and create a paper trail of what they “offer” before they take your money and ignore your inquiries about getting what you pay for. My brother was interested in this school’s arts program that’s featured on their site and I’m glad we saved our time and money since they don’t have it and carelessly left it up misleading potential applicants. I hope those who were promised this program are fully refunded!"
