Despite some challenges, Howard University was an excellent choice. I am able to thrive in an outstanding academic environment with a rich heritage of scholars, artists, entrepreneurs, engineers, doctors, and lawyers, among other professions. My professors have been engaging and enthusiastic. I am thrilled about my major and the courses I took first semester. I met some of the brightest and creative people from a diversity of backgrounds. A significant part of my growing is learning about my community and how to better met their needs beyond traditional community opportunities. I am learning how long-term engagement changes the trajectory of communities. I will build on the legacy of service.I look forward to great spring semester!
Howard University is an amazing place to be. We are surrounded by people throughout the diaspora. If the Divine 9 is of importance to you, you will find it very fascinating that five of the nine were founded on Howard's campus. If you are more of a student life person you will love the yard. The yard is the place where Howard's campus comes alive. There will be people performing, hanging with friends, dancing, etc. During the protests held at Howard University, we saw the abundant support from the community. It is amazing to see the pride our city takes in Howard University students. Going to Howard University is seen as an honor to many. To whom much is given, much is required. Howard University is not an easy school; however, it is one that will set a strong foundation that will not waiver. Howard University is also notorious for students graduating with job offers. Howard University opens doors, sparks relationships, opens minds and builds the future like no other. GO BISON! HU...
My freshman year at Howard University overall was amazing. I made many new friends, gained experience and knowledge that I didn't know I needed, and persevered rough a lot of challenges that I did not see coming. Unfortunately, some of those challenges included astonishingly high cost of attendance. While I was able to persevere through my first year, I am now trying my hardest to fund the next few years of my education. For future students, I would like to see Howard make an education more affordable as this is one of the most loved HBCU's!
