Washington, DC
Howard University

Its quite cool and nice to be at/

I think it is a very sophisticated school and has a lot of opportunities. If you want to be part of a sorority there are alot. It is part of the howard "religion" i guess you can say. Right in the heart of DC. A lot of nearby sights to go see. The campus is very open and beautiful.

Howard University is known as many things. It is the Mecca for one. The most popular of HBCUs. But why? Is it because of our notable alumni? Is it because of its students' determination and stride for a better life and representation of Black people all over the world? Perhaps a combination of the two. Students still apply and attend this "prestigious" university every single year knowing about the problems that its current students face every year. The administration at Howard works extremely slow and mostly shoos away students looking for help to fix whatever issue they may be having. Financial aid at this university is truly a mess and is a constant work in progress. They are good for losing your paperwork, or taking away money, grants or scholarships that were given to you prior because they have somehow found some reason for you to no longer deserve it. The administration does a poor job at distributing and publicizing important deadline dates for its students to take care of business, and students often times end up leaving the university to pursue their education elsewhere because Howard failed to uplift them. I've had my run-ins with admin many times, and many times ending with me leaving in tears. We are paying entirely too much money for the facilities to still be run down, administration to be treating students poorly, and for the food to not be that great and have inconvenient dining hours for students. I love Howard because of the people who care about the students and because of the drive of students. The music program is phenomenal and is filled with such talent and expertise and I am glad to be apart of it besides all of the chaos that I have to deal with everyday. If it weren't for the music department and the amazing souls I have met through it, I may have transferred by now, because money is scarce. I hope that my class will progress Howard's conditions and make it better for the next group of students who are ready to start their college careers.

I like it

The illustrious Howard University is and will forever be an amazing school, however, no school is perfect. Upon arrival to Howard there were some major issues with on campus housing, as well as financial issues. Within the few months that I have been here and seen things grow, some much change has been implemented and campus life is already improving. Administration is actually taking the time to hear its students and faculty out; trying to integrate our ideas into the university to figure out what is best for everyone, as a whole, and this is happening slowly, but surely. We attend school in the nation's capital, it 's only fitting that we protest and demand for change to happen on our campus, especially since it's our home for the next four years. I am proud to call myself a Bison and can't wait to be a part of the change that future Howard University Bison will experience.

It is a place where you can be yourself and still thrive to be better. The social life allows people to increase their confidence and grasp what they feel will be beneficial to their success. We open our doors to the community because without a community you can not create a home. Overall Howard University provides individuals with the support, academia, facilities, and services to be all that you can be.

Howard University is a stellar academic institution with its share of faults. While there are a number of facilities on the campus that could serve in better capacities Howard University provides a safe and effective learning space for students. The university prides itself on producing many of the trail blazing African Americans in our nation's culture including Senator Kamala Harris, Zora Neal Hurston, and Phylicia Rashad. Howard University makes the most of its strategic location in the nation's capital and should be considered by any students seeking an education on a culturally diverse campus.

I love Howard University. Its the vanguard of HBCU's, the mecca. Howard is the capitol of black excellence with the ability to transcend dreams of young black students into reality. As well as tap into our full potential and possibilities.

Howard University is one of those few places that really shows who and what you are when you are there. I attended Howard University for one academic year and it showed me more about myself than I ever knew in 17 years. That is not to say that my experience was always positive but that the lessons that I learned have created the most positive me that I know. That being said, my overall opinion of Howard University is that it is a beautiful place to find yourself and I wouldn't trade my experience for anything.

When I was making my choice to attend college, Howard University had been my first choice. This institution was an accredited university where I could see myself not only growing as an individual but ultimately finding the career that would help me uncover the passion of my life. Howard had the reputation of creating global citizens who possess an overwhelming passion and dedication for learning. Attending Howard was the best decision I had ever made in my lifetime. The students here are so beautiful and creative; innovation thrums throughout their veins and creates a Howard experience that I cannot even imagine describing. Howard students are never satisfied with mediocrity and push themselves to be the best at all levels which makes it a very competitive but motivating atmosphere. The community we have created has made me a better women and exposed me to a different world I had not known before. There is no other institution like Howard and I wouldn’t have been able to find my voice as a young black woman growing up in modern day America anywhere else. I have become more secure in who I am and my blackness because of Howard and the people here who remind me daily of the excellence of young black individuals who are always willing to make a difference.
