Howard University Top Questions

I brag most about living in DC, Howard Homecoming, ResFest, the family atmosphere, and attending the top HBCU in the country.

I don't normally brag at all about my school, but when I do I bring up our social events such as Homecoming.

Whenever I talk to my friends about Howard University, I let them know how much I love my school. I feel like Howard is where I am supposed to be. I do not believe I would be happier at any other institution. Howard is in the heart of Washington, DC. It is a metropolitan city. Howard University is so diverse. There are students from literally all over the world that attend Howard University. Plus, Howard University is the number one Historically Black College/ University.

When talking about college with my friends, I tell them that Howard University provides students with a sense of belonging and a sense of who they are as an African American. As a historically black college and university, Howard University prepares African American students for the real world. It helps them understand that because we are African Americans we have to work twice as hard to achieve what we want in life despite all the stereotypes out there.

The legacy

Howard University, otherwise known as “The Mecca”, is the number one co-ed Historically Black College/University. However, when it comes to bragging I tend to focus on the Alumni and how they are always giving back to the students here. I’m not talking about money; I am talking about time spent. It seems like every week there is a different graduate speaking on campus about how Howard University helped them to lead their successful lives. Not only do they speak on how Howard influenced them, they recommend different programs to help all of the students here succeed.

I brag most about the teachers' willingness to help me understand, no matter the circumstances.

Theres not a day when I do not express to my friends and family that I am blessed to be going to school with so many famous alumni. I never fail to tell people that I go to Howard University, the University where people like Patricia Bath, Alexander Darnes, John T. Baker, Harold Ford Sr., Phylicia Rashad, and Sean Combs famously known as "P. Diddy." I too, always make sure I tell my friends about the wonderful people who have spoke at graduations like Martin Luther King Jr. These people made an effort to be part of the bison culture.

When you think of Universities in the nation’s Capital, majority of the time the first institution a person will think of is Howard University. They are known for the achievements of their students and staff as well as one of the Universities with the most exciting homecomings on the east coast. These are facts about my school I do not have to brag about to my friends because most of the time they explain the greatness of my school to me!

I have the most resources in finding a job right from graduation. I will not be an unemployed graduate.
