“Throughout the four years I have been at HU, I have learned and grown in ways I never thought possible. I was told college would be the hardest experience of my life…this was true. At the same time, it has been an eye opening and rewarding experience. I am optimistic about the future and more than ready for what it will bring.”

“HU a.k.a. ‘The Real H.U.’ has provided me the opportunity to make life long relationships and memories that will always be a part of me. Hampton was my third choice but I am glad it is where I ended up. There is nothing better than seeing thousands of black people furthering their education and trying to better themselves.”

“HU has been an unforgettable experience for me. I definitely do not regret traveling thousands of miles to receive my college education. My fondest memories are of the friends that I have made, especially those who have encouraged my growth and learning upon graduating.

East Orange, N.J.

“HU has taught me to always trace my tracks and be persistent in every aspect of my life. Through Hampton, I was able to start my own production company called ‘Food for Your Soul Music.’ I have met many musically talented people who have all attended Hampton. I’ve always said that if I was the President of Hampton, I would consider starting a record label for students. There is too much talent here to waste. If anyone needs production, holler at “Ya Money”. Stay blessed and dream big!”

Brittany Nicole Evans

Broadcast Journalism /Sociology
Auburn Hills, Mich.

“HU: The ‘Black Experience’…the ‘HBCU’…the ‘Elite Institution’ where the cream of the crop come to network. While this is true, there is so much more to Hampton. Many can talk about the classes they took and the parties that they attended but Hampton gave me the opportunity experience more than that. I met myself. I have learned so much about personal time management, patience, my heritage and my relationships and I have grown mentally. Not only that, but I found a purpose to give back to the black community. I see so much talent here at Hampton and through that, I have learned that we all are connected. Hampton is filled with so many strong African Americans. If you sit down with someone from Hampton, I am certain they will amaze you, and for this I am proud to graduate from Hampton University … ‘The Real HU!’"
