What are the popular events and traditions at Hampton University?

Homecoming is one of Hampton University's recurring campus traditions, bringing alumni and current students together around athletics and other scheduled activities. The specific program changes from year to year.

University convocations provide another recurring occasion for the campus community to gather around academic and institutional events. Hampton's history also gives meaning to sites such as Emancipation Oak. Students looking to participate should use the university's current event calendar for dates and access details rather than rely on a previous year's schedule.

What are the student housing and dining options at Hampton University?

Hampton University offers college-operated undergraduate housing, including coeducational options, and reports high-speed internet access in its housing units. Availability of housing does not, by itself, mean that every applicant is guaranteed a preferred room or building.

Incoming students should check the current housing application, deposit, assignment, and meal-plan rules together. Dining choices and required plans may vary by residence or student category. The institution reports that first-year students are not permitted to register or park a car on campus, a consequential rule for students planning off-campus work or frequent travel. Commuters and students considering off-campus housing should account for transportation and any applicable parking policies before signing a lease.
