Student Life
When you enter the gates of Hampden-Sydney, you're joining a brotherhood older than America itself.
Campus Living
At H-SC, you'll get more than a degree.
With the majority of our students living on campus, you'll develop close-knit relationships and a lifelong brotherhood of support. Enjoy small class sizes, dedicated mentors, and 1,300 acres of campus to explore. A home away from home, H-SC not only provides a secure and supportive living environment, but also provides ample open space for you to relax and enjoy life.
Campus Resources
It takes a village, and at H-SC, there are many people here to meet your needs.
We provide you with a secure and supportive living and learning environment. From an on-site wellness, counseling, and health center to TigeRec fitness and recreation facilities and a beautiful student center, we've got you covered.
Civic Engagement
Good men make a difference in the world, and helping you become "a man who serves" is part of our mission.
The Civic Engagement program provides you with opportunities for volunteer service outside the College gates. For some, it provides practical experiences that will help make career choices. For others, it helps balance studies with outside pursuits, like working with kids. The habits, knowledge, and commitments you develop here will help you build a life after college that is fulfilling and meaningful, one that truly exemplifies what it means to be a good man and a good citizen.
