Question
This comment applies to only nursing department.Not so brightNursing
This comment applies to only nursing department. I have no idea about the rest of schools.
I got in the nursing school in summer 2011. We were about 95 students, but 45 of them failed and withdraw from the course. Some students were 4.0 students the one who failed in summer time. The students were very smart, but they couldn't make it because of pathophysiology professor. She doesn't know how to teach the course at all.

They pushed us to take pathophsiology and health assessment at the same time on summer in 4 weeks session. It was not our choice to take that class in short period of time. It was not even accelerated program. The teacher who thought pathophysiology was heartless. The school of nursing doesn't even intervene when lots of people failed that class. Lots of students complain but nobody give them an answer. Surprisingly, in this year, the same professor will teach that course. Isn't it weird?

When we took maternity, I had one professor who made our life miserable. This professor likes to yell and insult student which made me like to run away from that school. It was very stressful moment for me to pass all these hard time.

You know, I Just need education but not hatred, stress, and misery.
60% of professors are arrogant, mean, lazy, and heartless. They don't know how to teach...They just read everything from the power point. I swear..I am not lying to you. I am very disappointed of this school:-(:-(:-(

I don't believe that this school prepares me for NECLEX...If I could do it all over again, I rather go to different school :-(:-(

The reasons that I am writing this because I just want to warn everybody who wants to go to Howard University School of Nursing.

When you go to different places (administration office) some people look at you like why you here, I hate to see you here. Don't expect good manner from these people. If you have any problem correlated to administration office, they will make you cry like you have never been cry before.

Throughout one year experience I only like couple of professors?A few of them are in my mind which I will never forget them the rest of my life.

Most of my experience is not good at Howard?If write everything, I can write a book.
Warning!!!!! Don't go to this school!!!!!!!!!!!!

Question
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.
