Hampden-Sydney believes the world needs good men and good citizens, and has been forming them since 1775. Scholars, leaders, athletes, creators, and outdoorsmen alike thrive in our highly personal educational experience that emphasizes both intellectual growth and character development. Students benefit from small classes, the mentorship of top-notch professors, research opportunities that rival what large universities offer, and a renowned Rhetoric Program that develops first-rate communication skills. Our legendary brotherhood – ranked the nation’s No. 3 Best Alumni Network by the Princeton Review – illustrates the lifelong bonds students develop on our scenic 1,300-acre campus. The Wall Street Journal has named H-SC one of the Top-10 Schools for Career Preparation, demonstrating the long-term value of a Hampden-Sydney education.

A tour and interview will allow you to meet one-on-one with an admission officer and tour our 1300-acre campus. If you wish to attend an academic class, we can help arrange that for you as well. If you are a high school senior and want a more in-depth Hampden-Sydney experience, an overnight visit with a current student will give you great insight into life on the Hill.
