I’ll tell you like this, every college is a party college if you look for it

With that said, there’s slight bias towards A&T but the reputation for partying kinda lives up to it. It’s a lil bit lower than ECU as a party school. Aggiefest this year was wild as hell

Now with that said, if you don’t want to be around partying, you won’t be. If you do, you will. There’s a scene for everybody here. Big diverse school

HU never sent me my fin aid. A lot of other students don't have it either - some don't even know if they got in yet. They extended their deadline to June 1 but everyone else said May 1. So I had to commit to T since you can't just sign up to a school that expensive without knowing how much it's gonna cost. But I really feel for other students who are in my position, but haven't committed anywhere yet. What if HU doesn't give them enough, they try to commit somewhere else, but it's too late and they lost their spot? Then what? That move was kind of inconsiderate but, oh well.

proud of u my nigga fr

Thats what I mean, Hampton is straight up incompetent in all aspects

They mess around with financial aid, professors aren’t as good..campus isn’t as nice or up to squeeze, school spirit sucks..A&T is straight up one of the best colleges in the state. A lot of people rule it cause it’s an hbcu but it has some of the best programs.

Plus the magic of being on the campus is real man, black excellency everywhere.

congrats brother. if i have kids i want them to go to my alma mater or an hbcu.

Congrats bro

Music performance and minor in either mass communications or business admin at T. At HU I'd do Music recording technology.

Salute make sure you come down to Tally one of the years y’all play at FAMU

Famu is like the florida version of T lol. Y'all on that same level ofs chool spirit and close in size too

I got accepted to Howard but my parents didn’t want me to go because it was too far away Good choice tho brotha

Congrats CLB

had to google what that was, really intersting concept didn't know it was a thing are these schools predominantly attended by african americans or more so a mixture of many different ethnicities?

Yeah, they’re historically black colleges which means before the Civil Rights act of 1964 they were exclusively Black colleges, now most of them are black still.

Congrats fam, I haven't seen you around in a min but I'm glad to see you going to your dream school. Good luck fam

Before the Civil Rights act of 1964 blacks could only go to these schools but even now most of them are 80%+ black. A&T is actually fairly diverse being "only" 85% black. I know Hampton is 93% black. Howard is a good one too and they're 89% black. These schools aren't only for black students, but obviously those are the main ones they attract. (Tbh white kids probably get good scholarships for diversity.) Most of them were founded right after or on the tail end of the Civil War and some in the early 20th century. 1964 is the cutoff year.

I think there are 107 right now. Most of them are from Texas through Maryland. A lot of HBCUs are declining or even closing because kids have more options now. Schools like Tuskegee, Hampton, Howard, Dillard, Morehouse, used to attract the top black students like a Harvard or Stanford but black schools don't get funding like white schools do (even the public ones) so they don't have as much scholarship and grant money to give to students. So those students go to PWIs that are easier financially. Hopefully we can find a way to keep them going because I'd be devastated if my kids didn't have nearly as many HBCUs to choose from 20-30 years from now.

that must make the university experience so much more enjoyable man (being with people you relate to), congrats !

Nice man. Wish I went to one. Enjoy

Congrats OP
