HU LISTED NO. 6 ON FORBES.COM "MOST CONNECTED CAMPUSES" LIST

Hampton, VA - Hampton University was recently listed No. 6 among the "Most Connected Campus," in the country according to a survey conducted by The Princeton Review now available exclusively on Forbes.com.
HU, the only historically black college listed in the top 50, tied for sixth with three other universities.

Hampton University provides a total of 1500 computers for student usage, which equals about three people to every computer on campus. In 2000, Hampton University was named to Yahoo!'s 100 Most Wired Universities List. The University was the only university in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia included in the rankings and was one of two historically black universities on the list of 100 universities.

Stephens Institute of Technology, Wake Forest University and Georgia Institute of Technology topped the list compiled by The Princeton Review. To identify the colleges, The Princeton Review collated responses from 106,000 college students from 351 of the leading U.S. colleges, as well as data from campus administrators. Criteria included the student/computer ratio, wireless access on campus, the breadth of the computer science curriculum and comments from campus students.

Some of the questions surveyors queried included "does the school offer courses in new areas of technology such as computer security, videogame design, virtual reality, or robotics?" or "does the school web site support streaming video and audio?"

Hampton University is dedicated to the field of technology as it has held two major technology conferences in the past: the first addressed bridging the digital divide, and the second addressed securing and protecting network infrastructures.
