Prairie View is very unique. We have so many different opportunities and organizations to assist us in advancing our knowledge and education. I like Prairie because it is a very intimate, close net atmosphere. It also one of the best HBCU's in the U.S. We embrace the black culture while also showing appreciation for other cultures. Prairie View a great school to attend. And as everyone knows, Prairie View produces productive people!
Prairie View A&M University is the best school to attend if you have a desire to pursue a career in the agricultural, medical, or engineering field. The school is located approximately 1hr North West of Houston in the small town of Hempstead, Tx. Students from California, Washington, Michigan, and Florida, just to name a few, attend and graduate from Prairie View. The student life is exhilarating. From working/ interning on campus, to greek activities, to party promoting there was always an opportunity to stay involved. My friends and I are all examples of the productive professionals Prairie View produces.
Prairie View is a decent school with it's ups and downs. The cafeteria food can be a bit repetitive at times,and most students opt out to eat at the chik-fil-a next to the cafeteria. The classes are okay. Sometimes the teachers are hard to follow, but they're always available during their office hours to give extra help. Non academically, Prairie View seems pretty rough at ti,es. I remember receiving many emails from the campus police reporting robberies, and assaults that had happened on campus or in the dorm areas. As long as you're aware of your surroundings, and don't put yourself in potentially dangerous situations you should be okay.
