My question is do stories like that help or hurt?

Just as many students withdraw from predominately white colleges as historically black colleges/universities. I would venture to say a college's graduation rate black or white does not influence one's decision to attend, stay or leave a college at any point. It certainly did not play a role in my decision to apply and graduate from Howard.
I would venture to say reasons for not finishing are typically very personal. Many reasons are financial. While some students do not return simply because "college life"...academia...simply was not the right choice for them.
