I went to TSU for undergraduate & Towson University for graduate. Both are completely different schools & environments with pros & cons & I learned something from both schools. I will say at TSU learned even more African-American history in classes & had great relationships with professors. ❤ They type of care at an HBCU was something I was able to appreciate.
My rules of thumb in college were: do allllll of your homework before you play, don't talk on the phone past 9p, & stay celibate. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Also, go to church or watch online & always volunteer somewhere.
In regards to PWI and HBCUS, if your gonna major in a lucrative field such as STEM, HEALTHCARE, and BUISNESS(ACCOUNTING, ECON, and FINANCE) it doesn’t matter as much as you will be able to get a return on your investment due to how in demand those fields are and more than likely to get a job after undergrad faster. However, if you are majoring in other fields like Behavioral Sciences of that sort. A pwi may have better resources. At an hbcu, one who majors in that will have to participate in clubs, internships, network, so that way one can obtain adequate employment at the end. What I suggest in general is black high school students should attend hbcus for there undergrad not matter what they major to get the ultimate college experience and for grad school a pwi to get the most professional experience(while not perfect, you are more than likely not to run in problems with financial aid, housing, admissions etc.. compared to hbcus smh. Ps undergrad at an hbcu and graduate at an pwi
I graduated from an HBCU (TSU). My youngest daughter got a full ride to Boston University. Dr. Steph, I was happy to hear that finding some friends upon arrival helped you. My daughter found her tribe. The two of you have a few similarities. I will introduce her to you when she comes home for the Summer. Thank you both for sharing your journey. ❤
My Brother is going to B.U. on a full ride scholarship in August. He went there last Summer for a Journalism Program, because he is Majoring in Journalism And Political Science and he has set us mind on going to college there ever since then. So he was super geeked when he found out that he got accepted.
I love how you had different experiences and could share from a different perspective. You were blessed to come from a solid, supportive family unit, academically inclined with scholarship benefits, and had options-great sound advice. I am proud to say I was able to enjoy the experience of both worlds. I attended LSU in Baton Rouge and cross-registered and took courses at SU. When home, I would take classes at SUNO & UNO. Being from Louisiana, I wanted to be an LSU ALUMNUS, and I am proud to say I am, and equally proud to have experienced an HBCU. There’s nothing like Tiger Land or The Yard. It was some of THE BEST years of my life! 💜💛💙
Y'all are some super good people... shoutout to both of you ..bishop..much love and respect...1st lady Dr Steph..much love and respect...God Bless Yall..🙏🏾💯❤️
I loved this. I graduated from an HBCU (Grambling State University) and my husband graduated from (Howard University). Bishop, Isaac Ben (Dr. Isaac Greggs) was my cousin. My husband and I both loved our schools too. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Thanks for sharing. This information will encourage some young person to push through boundaries to reach their goals.
Good evening Bishop and Dr. Steph.
Very informative!

Okay, bishop, showing us how to own that confidence . #1
God Bless Y'all. Love to hear.
Great episode Dr.Steph and Bishop Walker. Until next Friday have a great day and blessed week 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Great episode. PWI grads need to give back to HBCUs, imo.
i disagree. hbcu grads should support their own hbcu.
