Hello my name is Taylor Mills, a Theatre and Performance Major with a Dance Minor. This is my first year here at the illustrious Spelman College. Spelman is thee home of Black Girl Magic. It's the home of determined and goal driven women and to add-on it's been the number one HBCU for 16 consecutive years. When I first arrived at Spelman, I will never forget how comfortable everyone made me feel. It is truly a huge sisterhood. Spelman is very welcoming and there is a place for everyone here. In addition, there are lots of clubs here at Spelman such as Glee Club, P.U.L.S.E and Spelman Ambassador and so much more. I always look forward for all the events that will be held at the historic Sister's Chapel or the Oval! Spelman is so history packed! I will say College in general is what you make it. Spelman hits different when you take the time to learn about the history facts and details of it. It truly puts Spelman in another light and I'm very grateful to be here!
Spelman College has been an incredible experience for me as a Black woman. It's a supportive and empowering environment where I've learned and grown tremendously. The sense of community and the talented individuals I've met have been inspiring.
However, there are a few areas that need improvement. One major issue is the limited housing availability for students, which can be frustrating. Additionally, the safety of the surrounding area is a concern. It often requires using Uber to reach nicer places for food or entertainment, which can be costly.
Despite these challenges, the personal and academic growth I've experienced at Spelman College outweighs the drawbacks. It's a place that fosters a strong sense of identity and provides valuable opportunities for development. With some improvements in housing and safety, Spelman College could become an even more enriching and inclusive institution for Black women.

I love how connected everyone is! The teachers, students at neighboring schools, just everyone. You’re given chances to network with others and join a multitude of clubs/organizations. I would like for the air conditioning situation to chance within the freshman dorms. Other than that, I loved it!
