Hampden-Sydney College

Hampden-Sydney College is truly a wonderful place. You can feel a little lost at first when visiting this big college, but as you continue through the campus it really becomes prevalent that it's a family. My tour guide, Marshall, is an alumni and knew so many people on campus and was constantly waving at students and faculty. It's student to teacher ratio is 10:1. So it feels like a small college while being a large school. You feel more than just a number and a face in the crowd at Hampden-Sydney. It's constantly improving and making itself better, while still keeping it's unique and beautiful history. Founded before America was a nation in 1775 and founded by Patrick Henry (Who actually put all 7 of his son's though Hampden-Sydney) who believed that if the government was to be run by the people. Then this country needed a college that would produce men who would be able to lead and serve this country to the best of their ability. The students, from what I could tell, are respectful and hardworking. Although it's an all male school, they have female teachers. This is a school that is with the times while still holding onto their values, which is making good men, good employees, good husbands, good fathers, and real gentlemen. If you are considering visiting or attending, I highly encourage you to. The staff is happy to help you with any questions and concerns you have. I've gone on long enough talking about this wonderful college, but it truly is extraordinary. Hampden-Sydney College is one of a kind.

I enjoyed my time at HSC – values and traditions that are hard to find anywhere else.

Excellent foundation for living a full life. The professors in many departments, including Economics, Rhetoric (writing), and Political Science are some of the best in the country. My foundation in Economics began here as did my quest for life-long learning. Since 1775 it has been going strong, fulfilling it's mission to educate boys and turn them into men. I got my start in finance from here due to working the alumni system to obtain a job on a trading floor in credit derivatives.

My experience at Hampden-Sydney has shaped many aspects of my life today, nearly twenty years after I matriculated. The College has had a tremendous impact on how I interact with people, which has resulted in many lasting friendships. It was emphasized early on that we say hello to one another in passing and look each other in the eye when speaking. These values have helped me cultivate valuable communication skills in both my personal and professional life. HSC also instilled in me a work ethic that has been instrumental to my professional development. The greatest strength of the College is that it provides the tools necessary for young men to grow remarkably between matriculation and graduation. The transformation is evident in the men who decide to take advantage of the enormous opportunity provided them.

HSC is a beautiful campus! Also, a brand new disc golf course on the property. The college is old and has plenty of history in the area!
