Morgan State University Top Questions

If I could compliment my school on one thing it would be its diversity. When I first started at MSU I thought it would be filled with African Americans and nothing else. I've grown to see that I was naive and blinded by the acronym HBCU. In reality Morgan State was made for every race, ethnicity, religion, and culture. They literally have a club or organization for everyone, it's almost impossible to not find something that you can relate to. The best part about it is that besides. Couple immature students you may find everyone is accepting of others beliefs and personal choices. In fact You may see a fashionista who wears heels and big hair to class eberyday conversing with a Afrocentric brother who is always seen in a dashiki. Or the average student who wears jeans and a shirt to class having intellectual conversation about future goals or politics with an Apostolic girl who believes women should only wear skirts. To cut to the chase anyone seeking admission to MSU would find a place where they are comfortable and fit in.

Morgan State University is a Historically Black University (HBCU), however, we have students from all backgrounds. We welcome all races, sexual backgrounds, socio-economic classes, and no one is isolated because of their group. We have organizations for that students formulate to make the campus more knowledgeable about their group such as Rainbow Soul which educates on the LGBT community and the Caribean Society which educates students on Caribean heritage and culture. Different types of students are always interacting with one another. Non-Caribean students are apart of the Society just so that they can learn more about it. Morgan State Unviersity has and accept all!

At Morgan State University, one meets students from all walks of life students who are politically driven, diplomatic, learned and seasoned while on the other hand one also comes across naive and ignorant individuals. Students who are in the Student Government Association, Honors Societies or other organizations on campus are very politically driven. They are usually very ambitious and know what they want after college. You could find them talking about life after college, their future dreams and positions they aspire to attain in the government in ten years or more. Unfortunately, there are students who just come to Morgan for the degree and choose not to participate in school activities. They are generally less motivated about school. Lots of in-state students are from Prince George’s (PG) county and majority of out-of-state students are from Brooklyn, New York while the highest numbers of international students are from Nigeria. Most ladies are fashionable you will find people wearing 5 - inch stilettos, pumps, and wedges just name it coupled with designer apparels.

Even though our school is an HBCU, we still have diversity on our campus. We have people from all types of backgrounds, all types of religious beliefs, and all types of orientations. Morgan State is like a gumbo; a lot of different things mixed together to create greatness. No one will ever feel out of place.

This is a common response from our nonchalant student body when prompted about anything under the sun. The majority of our students appear like they could care less about anything, including their academics. Looking good in leggings for History class seems to be a priority, along with catching parties and catnaps. Okay, maybe that was somewhat of an exaggeration. Yet, if there were four tables of students in the dining hall, two of them would be planning for a party, and two would be planning to go to the library. One of the latter two is only not going because the party costs $10. As far as politically aware... our students seem to be clueless (besides a minority of about 25{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c}). Politically active? Catch a Twitter timeline of a Morgan student: eventually there will be some expletive preceding "the Republicans" or even our own "Obama" if they're REALLY opinionated. Other than that, activity remains minimal. A young attractive male would feel like a king at Morgan. The girls tend to spoil those. Any less attractive student of any race, gender, or ethnicity, might as well try another school.

Part of the reason I am thriving at Morgan State University is the environment created by fellow students. I have never experienced any division created by student groups. Most of my friends are leaders within their organizations and with our Sophomore President, Brian Stewart who is dedicated to strengthening school spirit, I am really looking forward to the upcoming semesters at Morgan. With regards to attire, we the students of the Graves School are leaders and we reflect that in the way we dress.
