So far I'm currently a sophomore here at Howard. It truly is a love hate relationship with the school and anybody going here can tell you that. Howard truly is what you make it, and Howard is not at all for the weak! No matter who you are, you'll definitely find your people, because everybody acts so different here, just find who you connect with. My freshman year I was able to become a part of Quad Stroll Team, a freshman org for any lady who stays in Harriet Tubman Quadrangle. The classes and difficulty for me here was average, solely because I didn't know NOT to depend fully on an advisor, let them guide you, but be clear on what you're looking for and take your future into your hands. But overall, I love Howard, but in any building you have to know the right person to talk to. I made connections so far and great lasting friendships and I've only been here for a year and a half now. Howard is great, but you have to hustle :)
My experience at Howard University was overall great. I was a student-athlete, so I didn't get the full experience of just being a student but I still had a lot of fun. The party life was great my freshman year and the professors I had were very relatable. I mainly hung around my track teammates and would spend a good chunk of my time at practice, getting treatment, or traveling for meets. This would be tough to balance with school at times, but I was able to maintain a stellar GPA during my matriculation. Some weekends, I would go to parties, kickbacks, or just explore DC. Homecoming was always the best time of the year; I'll definitely come back as am alum! Most of all, my favorite part about Howard was the camaraderie and diversity. I was surrounded by bright, ambitious people who looked just like me. I was inspired by students here because their aspirations and goals in life were high, just like mine. I made so many connections and friendships that I know will last a lifetime.
The atmosphere is GREAT! The enriching culture is unmatched. It is wonderful to be surrounded with intelligent minorities like myself, both peers and professors. The only down fall is the administration and some non teaching faculty (i.e: financial aid, registar, etc). The sometimes seem like they do not care or know what they are doing, which can hinder a student's experience at Howard (especially academically).
