Although the ultimate decision is mine I value my family's opinions and thoughts. Is this true (and please tell the truth). Would I be better off at a PWI. The nearest HBCU to me is Lincoln Univ. in Jefferson, MO. Is this a good school or would I be wasting my time? I don't want to regret going to a certian school and then have to turn around and transfer. I really want to learn and have great teachers who care and are dedicated to their profession. Holla Back

First of all the "Black College Experience" is only what you make of it....second all schools HBCU's and PWI's have their own individual merits and setbacks.....third liek you said the choice is yours...can you be a successful grad of an HBCU..Yes...can you be unsuccessful and graduate from a PWI..of course.....The mian thing to remember bout college is "its what you make of it" I know it sound fake and errbody tells you that but its the truth....if its not too late yet take a visit to some of the schools your lookin @ this should really help you get a feel of what its really like....talk to anyone you know that attends an HBCU and seee what they have to say.... |
