See yourself

Hi everyone, my name is Ella King and I’m currently a second year student at Hampton University, majoring in Aviation Management from the Chicagoland area.

So my HBCU experience so far has just been a big journey of growth, learning, and discovering more about myself.

One of the things I appreciate most about attending an HBCU is really just being surrounded by people who share similar cultural experiences as me, but also come from many different backgrounds and have very different goals. Hampton has given me the opportunity to meet so many new people, to get involved on campus, and to become a part of a community that encourages me to grow both academically and personally.

One thing I really enjoy about the HBCU experience is the big sense of culture and pride just being amplified everywhere on campus. There’s something so special about attending a university where you can really see that history and legacy reflected in your everyday campus life.

So overall, my experience at Hampton, my home by the sea, has taught me the importance of stepping outside my comfort zone, building connections, and making the most out of my college experience. I’m so grateful to be a part of the Hampton community, and I’m excited to see what the rest of my college journey has in store. So if you’re thinking about attending Hampton University, I definitely recommend it. And go Pirates!
