ATTENTION: PLEASE DO NOT GO TO THIS SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ATTENTION: PLEASE DO NOT GO TO THIS SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In the Fall of 2004, I came in as a freshman to Howard. Even though I knew about the ROUGH neighborhood since I'm from the Baltimore area, I still was surprised by it: homeless ppl walking up to you on GA Ave trash, liquor bottles, debris everywhere etc- picture the "roughest" part of any major city I had never lived in the city so this was all a big shock to me. I came to Howard expecting a FULL tuition & fees scholarship from CEACS (Coll of Engr) so I could study civil engineering. Within my first week, I was notified by CEACS that somehow my name was MISSING from the list of scholarship recipients & that I would have to wait for them to find some money or borrow $ from another source within the university. I was SHOCKED to say the less!!!! Here, I came to THIS school because I was given a scholarship & then when I get there THEY DON'T HAVE IT!!! Even though I had a huge run around from one building to another during my 1st week about this scholarship situation that I didn't even have a chance to enjoy the "Orientation" activities at Crampton Auditorium with all of the other freshman. Nonetheless, I decided to stay because this WAS the school that I "wanted" to go to most of senior yr in high school... therefore, I switched to the School of B (Business) since that was the strongest program on the whole campus. THE ONLY "GOOD THING": SCHOOL OF B Even though the School of B was very organized, had good teachers for Business Orientation, had corporate reps at the bldg every week, placed us in teams for group projects, & to be "adopted" by a Fortune 500 company.... IT STILL WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH: -ADMINISTRATION PROBLEMS!!!!!!! (they'll lose you'll stuff, send you from 1 line to another, do things the old & long way, no one knows what they're doing, rude, don't care about you) -project building dorm- Drew Hall (no AC, old rundown bldg, blends in w/ the slum neighborhood, dirty communal bathrooms, HOT & STICKY, etc) -unsafe neighborhood (feel like a "prisoner"- restricted to only the campus since it's in the hood) -math teacher(Sitarman- College Algebra II) who didn't speak english & struggled to talk over the loud fans so I had to go to math tutoring everyday to do my work & teach myself the work -math teacher (Bayne- Applied Calculus) who doesn't care for students: on the 1st day he said: "What, ya'll couldn't get switched out of my class? Didn't ya'll hear about me? Well, this class has about...45 ppl about 2-3 will have As, 3-6 Bs, 15 Cs, & the rest Ds & Fs" -computer system (Internet) ALWAYS down -OLD run down facilities, esp the library none of the copiers work, old books & copmuters -BAD cafeteria food (you'll be sick (constapation, diarrhea) every other day: chicken sausage?) -ALL they talk about is "The History of Howard" I'm tired of hearing about the "legacy" & it's past What is it doing today? "GOOD THINGS" ABOUT THE SCHOOL: -VERY SOCIAL lots of ppl from across the country & world lots of off-campus parties, but don't go to too many & flunk out 1st semester (it has happened) -alot of "opportunties" in DC area (jobs,concerts, etc) However, because of all the problems at HU, I'm now at UMBC (a tech school) only 30 mins from my home outside of Baltimore & I'm satisfied (new dorms w/ AC, good food, new buildings,diveristy- Asians, Whites, Indians, Blacks, Latinos)...much better than HU BE SMART, JUST SAY NO ATTENTION: PLEASE DO NOT GO TO THIS SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ATTENTION: PLEASE DO NOT GO TO THIS SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
