I had the options of attending Florida A&M, Jackson State, Kentucky State, Alcorn, Tennessee State, and Central State. I narrowed it down to three: JSU, FAMU and TSU.
I didn't attend FAMU because 98% of my family lives in Tallahassee...so with that being said, it would have been like going to school at home (Detroit)...there was really nothing new for me to experience there. I grew up, and is always in Tallahassee.
Jackson State: Everybody in the band at my high school went to Jackson State. It would've been like going to high school all over again. PLUS, my grandfather will be 100 in February and he still thinks it's 1923..lol. He told me "you ain't going to Mississippi...that ain't no place for coloreds" lol.
Sooooo, I chose Tennessee State. I fell in love with the school, it's history and the campus. Man, if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing.
