My questions to you all are:
- Why did you choose a HBCU?
Honestly, I just wanted to attend college in Atlanta. I wanted to get out of CALI and go down south.
- Which HBCU did you choose? Why?
SPELMAN. I just decided to go. I changed my mind everyday. Never had dreams of attending Spelman like others. But, my parent's went to Grambling, so I always had love for HBCU's. BUT, I THANK GOD EVERYDAY THAT I MADE THE RIGHT DECISION!
- What are the GOOD and BAD advantages of attending a HBCU?
Good- The friendships- meet my best friends at Spelman, seeing so many Black people taking care of business is inspiring, small classes, nurturing staff, just the overall vibe of the AUC was awesome!
Bad-We didn't have phone registration when I left ('98), the registration process, the financial aid office, the caf (it was ok, but a sista is expecting some fried chicken sometimes)
- What advice would you give to anyone seeking admission into
a HBCU?
Research the schools, talk to a few alumni, and see where you fit
