What kind of person should attend Howard University?

Nicolette

Howard is a historically black college. Therefore, the majority of the undergraduate body is african american or has ties to the african american community. However, the general population was in the top of their class and come from more affluent areas. In fact, about a third of the students are legacy students, with parents, grandparents and even great grand parents being alumni. With this being said there are niches amongst the campus, yet the community as a whole is driven and goal oriented. Socially equipped, trends and fashion are a major past time.

Herbert Spencer’s “survival of the fittest” term best describes the drive and determination of every scholar at Howard University. Many of the students are actively involved in school activities, as well as exceeding in their academics. An ideal prospective student should be self-motivated, a free thinker, and most importantly well rounded. Howard University is known as a pioneer of Historical Black Colleges, therefore a prospective student should be able to attribute to its famous legacy.
