    Am learning a lot

    I believe that I am getting a top notch education at HS-C. My professors have been interesting and helpful. Class size is just right.

    Am enjoying being here

    I do enjoy the campus and all that is offered.

    Bang for the buck

    Expensive but I hope it will pay off in my future.

    Tips for prospective students

    Visit the college. Beautiful location and campus. You might fall in love like I did in the first 10 minutes on campus.

    Am learning a lot

    Hampden-Sydney is a school for young men who truly want to learn. The academics here are top-notch, and the school itself does not inflate the grades of any students - a typical practice done at many other colleges. Professors are always available to help a student that needs assistance.

    Am enjoying being here

    Hampden-Sydney can be a great place for the guys who fit in, but a bad place for the guys who do not. On the weekends, the main excitement on campus happens at Fraternity Circle, where girls from neighboring schools - Sweet Briar, Longwood, Hollins, Lynchburg, etc. - flock to party. For guys who fit into the fraternity scene there will be plenty to do; for the guys who are not so comfortable with this scene there is little to do.

    Bang for the buck

    Be warned, the dining hall is not a five-star restaurant.

    Great for these types of students

    I strongly believe that any young man who seeks brotherhood can fit in and find his place at Hampden-Sydney.

    In three sentences

    Hampden-Sydney is the premier college for outstanding young men. Our alumni network is better than any I have ever seen and the brotherhood is unremarkable. I am proud to say I am a Hampden-Sydney man.

    Tips for prospective students

    Never take an easy high school class. Push yourself academically and always try new things.

    Academic Rigor

    It's easy to get in, hard to stay.

    Dorm Life

    one word. Brotherhood.

    Food and Dining

    Not ma'ma's cooking, but pretty close.

    What to do for fun

    Great Athletic events, greek life, clubs always have something going on.

    Bang for the buck

    You will walk out with a mountain of student loans but you also walk out with a high paying job.

    Great for these types of students

    Well rounded, southern gentlemen

    Football

    Greek Life

    12 Frats
