Personally I think it depends on what you make of the situatuion, meaning you can benefit from both of the institutions if you apply yourself. PWI's and HBCU's can both teach you to be competitive in the real world if you think about it. In a PWI just because your a minority you have to compete for admissions, scholarships, "honors", etc. (Affirmative Action can no longer be used for these reasons) At an HBCU "being the majority" you still have to compete for the same things. In either situation you will have to step up to the plate and apply yourself. I strongly believe that either way you go it is an humbling experience, and you can get a good education at both.
