I applied to Howard University and was toldBrightArt & Design Department
I applied to Howard University and was told I was accepted. Then three weeks later after I visit the campus tell all my other colleges thank you but I have chosen a different college, I am told I was not accepted into the school. How frustrating and what a horrible experience. I mean the cruelty of being accepted and then told I am not after turning down other colleges is absurd. The rejection letter offered me to transfer in. I don't think so, first of all you can't get anyone on the phone to call you back or email you a response. They are unprofessional and unorganized.

Question
There are certainly some positive things about Howard,Quite BrightPolitical Science
There are certainly some positive things about Howard, but as a University it is horrible. Counselors are hard to reach, rude, and unhelpful. Finances are horribly mismanaged, the buildings are falling down and filthy, internet is spotty, printers don't work, etc. Graduating from Howard is an accomplishment because the University is so terribly inefficient that most administrative officials are a hindrance rather than a help. I would not advice anyone attend this place.

Question
Do not go here if you plan onBrightCommunications
Do not go here if you plan on persuing a career in film...now that i think about it, do not go here if you plan on doing anything other than buisness. The dorms are terrible compared to the other schools ive been to. The people here are closed minded and care only about how they look. It's all about making money to this administration and that is why i am leaving to go to Penn State next year.

Do not listen to the BS about the MECCA. This college is called the Mecca, the hilltop, and the capstone of black intellegence..they got one thing right however, the campus is on a giant hill.

They accept more people than they can house, so get ready to be pissed off when you realize you dont have housing.Contact me if you wish, id love to get into specifics on weither or not you should go to Howard.
