Howard University is one of the most unique colleges that I have ever been to in my life. One of the most unique attributes about Howard University is that it has so many people that are just like you--not only people that share majors, but also socially. More than anything, Howard University makes it easy for anyone to be able to fit in and gain many friends that could possibly become lifetime friends. Even though Howard University is a Historical Black University, it is easy for anyone Caucasian, Asian, Caribbean, African, European or any other nationality to fit in.

It's the most prestigious African American Institution. Students from ivy league institutions come to OUR job fairs! The networking oppurtunities are endless.

It is a diverse school and you have a lot of opportunities being in the area.

There are people from all around the world here who share you same ethnicity. it is such a beautiful thing to learn about different people who are the same color as you!

Even though the administration is not the best thing in the world here, I just love the fact that Howard University has so much diversity!! In these past couple of years, I have met and interacted with a variety of people (and backgrounds) not only from the different areas of the United States but from all over the world as well. I love meeting new people and being here at Howard has definitely opened up doors for that to occur. I have learned so much about myself, my peers, and my professors through these daily interactions.

its an HBCU, the best school for black students in the world

The heritage and history is very rich and inspiring.

The administration and facilities are a joke. Most of the teachers are great and very passionate about teaching, though they're not necessarily the best-connected in their fields. I ended up going here for financial reasons and I can see why it's half the price of most private universities. (Beggars can't be choosers, I guess.) If you're smart, you'll seek internship opportunities outside the university. There are a lot of opportunities in the DC area-- just don't expect Howard U. to help you connect with any of them.

Howard University is a great school for our future leaders to grow.

I love my school, the student body, and the many extra-curricular activities and opportunities it offers.

We are an HBCU (Historically Black College University) so we have a student and faculty population that is predominantly black.

Howard student discusses her favorite things about Howard

As I mentioned, I left the University for personal reasons and would not deter anyone from going who is interested. All I would like an interested student to do first, is to heavily explore the schools they are interested in. Visit the campuses if possible, take virtual tours, ask others, call, do what is necessary to find out as much as you can, because they will be important years in your life. I transferred and left behind a lot of memories; Disappointed in some respects and not so much in others. I have given an accurate perspective as a significantly involved and extremely proud former student of the University. If you would like to know anything else, please feel free to contact me, granted my email address is posted. P.S. I changed my major, because the University I transferred to does not offer Insurance as a major. Best Wishes!

I can actually write a book about my life experiences at Howard University but frankly, I need to get paid for that serious writing. Are you going to pay me?
