Hampden–Sydney College, Liberal arts college in Prince Edward County, Virginia.
The college occupies 1,300 acres of land with Federal-style buildings, woodland trails, athletic fields, and stocked ponds for outdoor activities.
Founded in 1775, Hampden-Sydney College received its charter from the Virginia General Assembly in 1783 with support from Patrick Henry and James Madison.
The institution maintains strong ties to its Presbyterian heritage while preparing men for leadership roles through intellectual development and character formation.
