I am interested in Johnson C. Smith University. Can anyone give me some information about their admissions policy and requirements, honors college, residence halls, academics, technology policy, band dancers, cafeteria food, etc.?
I'm sorry I don't know much about Johnson C. Smith, but I would suggest you call the school to speak with an admissions advisor and maybe visit the campus.
my friend went to Johnson C Smith and after he transferred he will tell anyone that he STRONGLY opposes anyone attending a HBCU because of his experience there....
He said there's a bank not far from the campus ( i think he said a bank in the downtown area) and no one in there really knew about the university.... he also said that some locals didn't even know about the university....so he gave them a BAAAAD rating....I wish you could talk to him yourself....
but that's just he say...he said...
Do your research if you're really interested...

true true true

Mos Def my school has it's pros and cons, that goes for every school and I understand that your speaking on the behalf of a transfer student. Before 1999, our President saw that there was a lack of connection between African-American students and technology. This concern caused the development of the Thinkpad Laptops. Our campus has wireless connection, meaning that we use our laptops for some classes . I know I use mine for majority of my class, many assignments are due over a “Moddle” site that sets out each assignment that's given. And Yes I’m sure part of our Technology fee is paying for the up keep of the Laptops. Trust me you will need your Laptop to keep up. But also know that the laptops are only a piece of what JCSU has to offer.

word I feel you....I'm typically not the person to be the carrier of those kind of messages...but I feel its important you get different views from different people....and its important for a person (who desires to attend the school) to decipher what he or she believes is right...
my advice to Caramelcutie is to visit the campus....mingle with the people and ask for STRAIGHT UP comments the good and the bad

Yeah you are right...It's very important to get other peoples views. I'm first to say that Smith is not for everybody. It's real important that she sets up a Campus Visit through Admissions Office and get a true feeling of the campus.... :arrow:
I never took a true campus visit but I applyed to JCSU I just wanted to know is the school's admission's people cool because I really want to get into that school it's my dream school.
