Howard University - Comments and Student Experiences | |||||||||||||||||||

The campus is moderately asthetically pleasing, the buildings are nice and nothing is falling apart, and the shubbery and so forth are maintained. The only unfortunate thing is the placement of the main campus; Georgia Avenue and the immediate surrounding neighborhoods are a bit run down. In regards to safety, it's safer than some schools that I know in nicer areas. Regardless, as with any other school in an urban setting, you have to be careful when walking around at night, and be very aware of your surroundings. In the daytime, it's safe, however at night, it's best to travel with friends, or if you are travelling through a particularly abandoned area, call the escort service.
On campus, it's important to join whatever club interests you, make lots of friends! Howard is a wonderful learning experience, there are many things for you to learn outside the confines of your classroom. Regardless of the predominantly African American community, it's very diverse, with people coming from many different areas of the world such as Trinidad and Tobago, Nigeria, Rome. Get to know as many people as you can. Not only does this help you get adjusted, but many of the people you are getting to know will be the future CEO's of very successful businesses-I cannot stress enough the need to network and the importance of connections.
DC has many job opportunities, but in relation to the night life, there are many different nightclubs, poetry cafes, museums, etc. Everything is relatively easy to get to, whether via the bus or the metro, usually with stops in close proximity to wherever you desire to go.
