Hampden-Sydney is an all male school located in southern Virginia. WASPs dominate the rural 500+ acre campus. Men come to HSC to earn an education, but not just any education. An education that prepares each student for leadership and sucess in every sense of the word. Sucess in the financial, social, and athletic realms of life. The atmosphere at HSC has been compared to that of a private Country Club. The major difference between HSC and a Country Club is that the students who pay an enourmous amount of money to attend the school often have little power concerning legal and social affairs in the community. The corrupt board, administration, and faculty use the students to their advantage for their own self interests. This has often been said to be one of the only negative aspects of the community; however, this is a very big negative. Honor and tradition come with the price of a corrupt group of adults in power. If students had more of a voice, this community would be ideal for any WASP of the south east. The party scene is dominated by a variety drugs and alcohol. Women come to the school searching for their future six figure man. The key word here is searching. Good luck women. If this schools corrupt minority would let up just a hair, this would be the ideal community of rich, athletic, honorable, and scholarly gentelmen of the south.
If you want to be a sucessful, powerful, and influential leader in the world, I reccomend that you apply for admission at Hampden-Sydney.

Hampden-Sydney is the school where wealthy (most of the time) men send their sons when they cannot get into a better school. Brains and credentials aside -- if you have a thick wallet, you are most certainly welcome at Hampden-Sydney. Those of us in Virginia know that if you can't get into a good school, you go to Longwood or Radford instead. Hampden-Sydney is an upper-class version of the previously mentioned schools. So overall, if you want to pretend you go to a good school, but can't really get into one, go to Hampden-Sydney instead.
HSC Student: I go to Hampden-Sydney! American Citizen: Oh. You (probably) have money, but I'm sure you're lacking in the brains department.
HSC Student in denial: HSC is the best private school on the east coast.
Someone who knows what they're talking about: No it's not, fool.
HSC Student in denial: Oh really? Name one.
Someone who knows what they're talking about: How about 20...

Hampden Sydney is a lesson most Sweet Briar women first semester freshman year. They then move on to REAL men, not boarding school rejects who rely upon their family's money and H-SC alumni connections to advance in life.
Hampden-Sydney, educating underachieving, rich, wannabe preppies since 1776. HSC is Radford, VCU, JMU, or any other lower-tier university transformed into a country club setting. (For elaboration, see definition 9). Students who go to this school were unable to get into the 'real' schools (ie: W&L, UNC, UVA, etc.), so they decided to attend Hampden-Sydney, which seems to accept anyone with a pen, checkbook, and sizeable bank account. The statistic that 1 in 10 men become doctors, lawyers, or owners of their own business is beguiling, because 1 in 10 student's father already owns his own company! Non-conformists are discouraged, so that the school may continue its historic, neocon ways. Students are belligerently conservative, often choosing the Republican side while being unaware of the subeject of discussion. Warning: Not a good school for individuals who think outside of the box.
Professor: Roswell, is this word part of the ablative or dative clause?
Roswell: Sorry, ma'am, I was yeyed up last night with my chronies and didn't get around to doing my homework. Daddy's money will cover for my lack of education.

This a very interesting school to say the least. It is one of the last all-male (mainly gay) colleges in the USA. However, If you are gay, dont think you will be accepted here. HS only accepted you if your a rich mo-fo. Normally, the qualifications for admission are: 1). 1.0 GPA; 700 on SATs 2.) neo-con Bush lover 3.) From the South 4.) Having parents give the school a 35 Million $ gym. If you dont met these requirements, you will get your ass gang raped so take warning!
Frosh UVA student: Yo man! Who the hell is that stupid noob? He just touched that brother's ass!
Senior UVA student: I dont know man....Oh snap! He one of those gay dumd shits from that rich ass Hampden-Sydney place. I heard He had such a good ass pounding last week, he bled for 2 days!
Frosh UVA student: Yo..wtf? Those peps at HS are MAD BROKEBACK!!

"One of the more underplayed sociological demographics in this country is the wealthy, genteel Southerner from H-SC. Too often, we deride the South for its gun racks, or its lack of dental hygiene. But the rich boys of Hampden-Sydney? That's a thing. They crawl all over the hill for Greek Week . It's the hottest spot in the South during April. Genetically-superior babes in tight tops and short skirts roam the grass, usually on the arm of a trust-funder in his early 20s. You know these guys: Ralph Lauren polos; University of Georgia baseball caps, well-worn; and a bloodline that includes a great-grandfather who invented the paper clip, which provides for the summer mansion on Sea Island" Fortune Magazine

Hampden-Sydney is a place of incredible oppurtunity sheltered in an Old South community surrounded by old money, bourbon drinking, hunting boys. Comprised of over 1000 men and 1000 acres, HSC is a college comprised of all men who are nothing short of badass. Sure some might not be able to get into W&L but guys at W&L could'nt get into Princeton. The badass graduates at HSC go onto perform in local, state, and federal service in both the private and public sector. HSC men are not only gentlemen but also hard working academics that take what they study and work at very seriously. The brotherhood at HSC is almost magical in strength that it exudes.
Dude that did Definition 2: Does that dude go to HSC?
Dude that did Definition 3: I dunno, is he a badass?
Dude that did Definition 4: Yeah, looks like it, he's with a hott ass chick.
Dude that did Definiton 6: Sure is, how does someone acheive so much?
Dude that did Definition 7: Go to Hampden-Sydney.
