I was lucky to go to both a HBCU and a PWI. I had better teachers at the HBCU but was less than thrilled with the administration. No, I dont agree that white is right. I chose my school based on the strength of the major I wanted. PERIOD. I ended up at the HBCU b/c I had just had my daughter. College is a big decision. It is my opinion that one should not choose a school SOLELY on the make up of its body (PWI or HBCU). I was just used to better technologies, easier access to my own student records, etc. Having to stand in line to register for a class was not cool to me only b/c I wasnt used to it. I should not have to take a day off of work to register for classes, or spend an inordinate amount of time making sure that XYZ department has whatever information so that I can graduate. But that is MY experience.

I choose not to give back to the HBCU b/c there are several issues there that I need to see resolved before I give them my hard earned money. IF the issues are resolved, I will give some money. I dont give back to the PWI either.
