Tell me about your experience of you went to an HBCU & PWI
1 ) For those who attended a PWI for undergrad and an HBCU for graduate school:
What was your experience like? How did you navigate the transition academically, socially, and culturally? Did you feel welcomed and connected to the community?
- For those who attended an HBCU for undergrad and a PWI for graduate school:
How was that transition for you? Did you miss the HBCU environment? Were there things about attending an HBCU that you didn’t fully appreciate until you left?
I’m genuinely interested in hearing your experiences, the differences you noticed, and whether you felt like you found the community you were looking for.
Pls let me know this will help me out

HBCU-Core: Perhaps no two HBCU institutions have produced more Black families and close friends over the centuries than Morehouse College (Est. 1867) & Spelman College (Est. 1881). Their close proximity has resulted in generations of Morehouse men marrying Spelman women and having Legacy families...

U don’t hear of such vile horrendous and sickening behavior at HBCU universities. They are held to a different standard and realize that they stand on the shoulders of great and powerful leaders past and present!!!!

Is a college degree still useful?
Seeking to start college but I am kind of convinced that college degrees are becoming less useful for a lot of people, at least that's what I'm hearing from others.
The cost of tuition keeps rising, employers increasingly care about experience and specific skills, and a degree doesn't guarantee a well-paying job anymore.
For some careers, I think college is still absolutely necessary. Im currently seeking a degree in Aviation, but spending four years and potentially tens of thousands of dollars just to get a piece of paper that qualifies you for an entry-level job doesn't make sense for everyone.

Howard vs. Hampton - Truth and Service Classic
Hampton or Howard—who are you rooting for today? 💙
Game day feels like the perfect time to share our Hampton sweatshirt and Howard leather backpack.
Backpacks are made from buffalo leather and we used a red stich as a highlight.
The sweatshirts are 85/15 cotton/poly blend and we used puff applique so that the sweatshirt has dimension and texture.
These are available on my website now. Sweatshirts ship immediately.
Let me know your thoughts.

Transition from PW Private High School to HBCU’s
I have a son who’s expressed some interest in attending an hbcu. I’ve graduated from one but I never put pressure for him to attend nor become a member of a BGLO.
My concern is the adjustment from becoming the “only” in his predominantly white private school and living in affluent community where there aren’t much of us either. We aren’t part of Jack and Jill, so I don’t know if he’d fit in with that set either. I’d love to hear any of your experiences or learnings if you’ve come from similar background. Thanks

- You receive need-based financial aid.
- You are facing housing insecurity that could affect your enrollment.
Applications are reviewed in the order received. They close October 8 at 4:00 pm ET, or sooner if funds run out, so applying early matters. You will need your school email address, your current course schedule, and your lease agreement.
