Howard University is a great school, in varied capacities. If your interest is academic excellence and opportunities thereafter, please consider Howard. Howard University students have been Supreme Court justices, Corporate, Political & Municipal Leaders, Fulbright Scholars, Pan-Hellenic Opportunists, Rhodes Scholars, and many more impressive post graduate positions.

Question
Ok Ok... Howard is Howard.Super BrilliantBiology
Ok Ok... Howard is Howard. I know that everyone has their own opinion of howard, but I believe that Howard is a great school. Right now we are going through the process of change. We have a new president I think we are on the track to keep fulfilling our great legacy. everyone who thinks howard is overrated it is because they don't take advantage of the great opportunities that we do have. Howard is the only place that you can be walking around randomly one afternoon and see some major political figure or celebrity. take advantage of this. being apart of the howard network is like having a family all over the world.

if you are going to attend howard come with the understanding that as black people we need to carry on what we do best which is protest for what is unfair. many students have become complacent but we must and the future of howard must know how to stand strong.

come to howard with the right attitude and you will love your experience here. do not expect everything to be perfect. yes the buildings are old, get over it. great people have walked the same buildings. I am so proud of my school and i love howard. dont complaint unless you are going to help fix.

Overall Howard is a great school. the best HBCU. the best university in my opinion!
Oh yeah, please don't come If you're not ready to actually study, if you cant dress, if you're really ugly, If you're boring. just spare yourself from Howard if you're not a social person. At howard it is all about who you know.

Also please be proud to be black and understand that at howard wou will learn everything there is to know about being black. Don't say it is boring because then you are saying yourself is boring. You will learn what you never did about the african american race in high school.yes i can write, i just don't feel like pressing shift at the moment and proof reading! so forgive the grammar. Just know that when it is important I come correct!

Excellent students, stimulating academic environment, but not enough priority given by administration to developing the relevant facilities and student concerns.
