RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — Dozen of Bahamian college students have arrived in Richmond to finish their studies at Hampton University after Hurricane Dorian decimated parts of the Bahamas.
Faculty, staff, members of the marching band, cheerleaders and other student leaders were on hand to welcome 46 students at Richmond International Airport Monday night, a release from the university said.
~~
The 46 students, traveling from Nassau, New Providence to Virginia, came from the University of the Bahamas-North campus after an agreement was worked out with the Hampton University Office of Admissions and the U.S. Embassy.
The agreement reached between the universities offers the 46 college students free enrollment, room and board and “compatible courses,” similar to the ones taken in the Bahamas.
