HOWARD U GRADUATE...with Honors
thank you!
I think its fair to say everyone will not have the same experience...but I am hard pressed to find many Howard grads who will say they did not thoroughly enjoy their Howard days. In speaking to other HBCU grads there is a common acceptance that we bear the responsibility of uplifting our community as we were priviledged to attend college. We did not get here alone.
Not to discredit PWIs but I rarely get the same sense of conciousness from them as I get from my fellow HBCU grads. The only exception to my last statement comes from grads who are in BGLOS or those who were very active in the BSU in their respective campus.

HBCU vs. PWI? Research says that Black students who attend HBCU's are more likely to graduate than those at a PWI, for a variety of reason. Adjustment, one of the major determining factors to whether a student gradutes or not, is much easier becuase of the familiarity with faculty, administrators and students who look like you. These universities produce more Bachelors degrees within Black people than PWI's However, as a graduate of both a PW undergraduate and graduate institution, I can say that PWI's are unique in the opportunity and challenge to step out of a "comfort zone". To survive here, you have to be able to coexist and compete with Whites, Asians, Latinos and many other ethnic groups. This training will undoubtedly prepare you for the world beyond the walls of academia. However, the key varible is the INDIVIDUAL. That student must become involved, connected and take ownership of his/her college experience wherever they are.
