What's up, Nupe? I was a student at Central State for one quarter (Fall '94). Yes, I remember that CSU was very unorganized, and when I had my books stolen, a student body mentality that really didn't promote academics over socializing, AND the fact that I had a 4.0 accum and they weren't gonna give me no scholarship(s), I had to bounce.
I remember the students having to live in hotels in nearby Springfield; I even remember visiting some of the students at the hotels back in '96 (btw, this was because they condemned 5 of the 9 dormitories on campus--the freshmen and upperclass male dorms, the jock dorm, and the nerd dorm).
But fortunately, this didn't sour my perception of HBCUs as a whole; I just realized that I attended a poorly ran HBCU at a bad time.
