    This was 2009 & the first sis said they really need renovations. I went from 2013-2017 & we STILL needed those SAME renovations, smh. I adore my Alma Mater! No regrets!
    But one thing I hate, is that it's faarrrr too hard to get things changed at Howard. The Administration resists student complaints & arguments so hard. But the staff stands with the students & knows we're right.
    It's really wild.
    But like the first & 2nd girl said, I definitely learned to stand on my feet, watched my confidence grow, found my sense of style, opened up more, & got to learn so much more about my people & the world as we fit into it. This place is a blessing though it comes with many frustrations & resistance that the students don't deserve.
    I definitely recommend HU & an HBCU experience for those of the Black Disapora 🥰💙♥️💙♥️🥰
    HHHHUUUUUU!!!!

    I was accepted at Howard University and had to defend my choice of going to an HBCU to some of my unenlightened peers. Thank you for putting a positive message out there about the importance of knowledge of self and how one fits into the fabric of the world. I look forward to attending in the Fall!!!!!!

    thats not alot of snow
    u might have to get used to the cold though. But in DC either we get all the snow or we get no snow. what u see is a dusting. we havent had more than 3 inches of snow for a good 3 years.

    Howard is the MECCA! I can attest! This university is the best choice for African American students.. the resources, the culture , the education is priceless.. It is one of the most prestigious universities and has an INSANE network..
    Definitely a great place to be!

    @JanetFanForever sameeee! i'll be a sophomore too and i just cant seem to stop stalking howard lol. like my little obsession with howard is getting out of control. i like literally cry REAL tears every time i think about how i basically still have three more years before i even reach college. i just wanna skip the next three years, pack my bags, and hop on a damn train already. the vibe howard gives off in their hu reaction videos is just so unexplainable and sooo me. ohh lawddd. i just love it!

    It has great academics and a fairly decent social scene although it's obviously not DC. Either way u go u will definitely be in a great position for medical school. My parent's are physicians and have sat on UCLA med admissions board and say they that graduates from both institutions are highly sought after. Hope this helps. Good luck

    @Langs2001 15 років тому

    Honestly... you'll be treated just fine... the same as everyone else. In general black people are very hospitable, so you definitely won't be treated badly. As someone else mentioned, as long as your open-minded and able/willing to learn and embrace new things... Howard would be a great place for you, as well as anyone else!
    Howard has quiet a few non-black students!

  • @supervirtuouswoman
    @supervirtuouswoman 14 років тому

    For all of you people who thinks that Howard and Spellman are black universities, you are sadly mistaken. All of the "so called" universities are owned by Rockerfeller. You can look it up. Rockerfellers mother in law name is Spellman, Howard is the same thing. Students of "black" universities are owned by Rockerfeller.

    Same Here! Going To Be A Sophomore When School Starts Back And I've Been Obsessed With Researching Information About Howard. It Really Seems Like An Amazing School To Attend. My Mom Would ALWAYS Talk To Me Or Say Things About Howard Wanting Me To Go There But I Never Really Paid Attention. My Mind Was Set On Spelman Like Two Years Ago But Now....Howard Definitely Has My Heart AND Mind. ;D

  • @Ciaseea
    @Ciaseea 12 років тому

    Would love to attend Howard this year, I got accepted but I can't attend due to the ridiculously high cost after scholarships and grants. the cost for one year was 48,0000 but before that it was 57,400.
    it hurts not to go but I'd be more in pain to have that much debt from the loans.
    still sucks tho.

  • @scribbless1986

    i am applying to this school and others and i was wondering if color is one of the leading factors as to why one would choose a school like this. and for some thats the main reason and for me well lets just say for one who goes to a school that has a dominate black population its not all to good not to say its cause of there color, its what kind of people they are and that what some forget to put into a decision is who they who are and not what they are

    It's a good school and students especially ones of color are fairly cohesive. I'm pre-med myself and they offer programs to assist minority students interested in health-related fields. Also the University of Pittsburgh has a very rich history in terms of African Americans and their contributions to it. For a PWI its very accommodating to black students. If u don't necessarily mind bigger classes then Pitt is fine. Pitt is the type of school that u get out of it what u put in.

    @jorbarcar If you noticed, the phrase "acting racist" was in quotation marks. I was referring to the comment to which I was replying.
    Even still though, out of interest, I'd be interested in arguing your point, but it's not that serious.

    I did not attend a historically black college and I'm black however where ever you go, be it an HBC, UC or a state college. Make the best of your education and learn something, become well rounded. Make the best of your education while you're in college, don't just go to college and get the degree, make the best of it.

    Howard is #2 under Spelman.
    But Drew hall(male freshman dorm) and half of the Quad(female freshman dorms) dont have A/C. The administration can be pretty lazy but usually if you're not bitchin wit them your stuff will be takin care of. Just stay on your shit and make extra copies of everything. Hopefully you will be able come to Howard and enjoy the stuff which makes us love the schoo and not hate it

  • @prettybrowneyes541
    @prettybrowneyes541 13 років тому

    Howard has amazing events and Networking opportunities....There are too many HU students pretending to be all about black power when they truly have self hate issues like the girl at the end. I'm 1st generation American. My family is Jamaican/Guyanese. I don't understand the mindset of some Black Americans. It's either they want to separate themselves from being labeled as ghetto or they are extremely ghetto and uneducated because they don't want to be "white." Why?

    If you are not a Bison, please do NOT try to assume that you know the ins and outs of MY prestigious university. Howard University is a historical institute founded upon principles that students still strive to uphold today. We are the epicenter of black empowerment and education. And please get the facts straight, Howard University is HISTORICALLY BLACK not ALL BLACK; and as for the students, please believe, we're all about OUR business, Bison business.

    This vid was rlly helpful. I'm interested in relocating frm CA, but I'm still a lil' skeptical. I knw it wud be rlly gud for me, and I knw I'd get a gud education. I just don't knw where I'd live and/or how I'd pay for it. I did my undergrad in child development & africana studies. I am a McNair Scholar, and I want to get my MSW and then DSW. HU has both programs. I'd like to come Fall 2010, but I'm just nervous. I don't knw any1 out there, but I wud like to visit the end of january 2010 :)

    @tarzandekat HU isn't only black, it a Historical Black University, founded when whites were "acting racist" and African Americans weren't allowed in the same classrooms as the White majority. That being said, it is majority black, but we have students from all ethnicities and from all of the world. Much like (what I assume to be your) majority (white) schools. I would suggest you educate yourself.

    that may be true. actually you're probably right.
    yet my dad graduated from norfolk state, another all black school. it may not be as huge or as popular as howard yet it still is a black school. he's had zero problems struggling to find a job.
    i feel like there's so many schools out there that are just so lifeless and boring. i want to go to a school that i'm gonna enjoy so if being looked down upon is gonna be a risk, then so be it..

    @wittenberg5 13 років тому

    @HumongousJohnson
    Or maybe they go there because, like most people black and white, they feel more comfortable around their own kind than other groups. Is it racism that motivates the vast majority of whites to socialize with and marry each other as opposed to other ethnic groups? Of course not, its called familiarity. Also a lot of black people get tired of being prejudged by people like yourself. They want a chance to walk in a room as a tabula rasa, and howard offers them that.
