it is what it is. The campus is rather crowded and the place seems to be crowing out of its surroundings. It is starting to take over buildings downtown Hampton. I am not sure that is good or not.

Situated on the coast, the campus was lovely to behold. The Hampton museum is a hidden treat that features timeless, impeccable and priceless pieces that leave you slack-jawed. Go!

We beat GA who we were playing, and had a reception for our line that crossed the burning sands 25 years ago + the new sorors and past sorors. It was really great. It wasnt great only that Sandy was coming and it was pouring outside!

Of course we didn't have the option of our usual oceanfront stays at Virginia Beach or even Navy lodging. We opted for Hampton, where our eldest son had Hampton University, and the smaller Buckroe Beach. We like Buckroe becaue... More

We drove around the campus and the greens were lush and green, and it sits on the water! We visited the museum and had original works of Jacob Lawrence and others. Also, talked about the start of Hampton University! Absolutely stunning!

The University is full of history. The architecture of some of the original buildings is beautiful. The buildings themselves has so much history. It is snuggles on the beautiful waterfront.
