After I leave Coahoma I want to attend a 4 year HBCU. Can anyone give me any insite about where to go. Im doing my own research but any helpful info will be greatly appreciated especially from alumni and current students. What are some of the "better" hbcu's in your opinion?
hampton, howard, famu(depending on major), spelman(if you're a grl), morehouse(if you're a guy), and fisk. these in my opinion are the better hbcu's.
im a mass communications major. Ive been told alot bout jackson state as well as southern. Do you ha?ve any info on them
My aunt attended jackson state for about a month.lol. they have a communications school, but as far as jackson state goes it either is or isn't for you i personally don't believe i'd do well there because the environment isn't really what i'm acustomed too. the way my aunt explained it was that she came from an environment where girls were debutantes, members of jack and jill, mom's were members of links inc, and she was use to more preppy students. If this isn't you then you'd probably like both southern and jackson. My aunt ended up prefering schools such as howard, hampton, and spelman where there were students who came from backgrounds similar to her own. While she probably could have found friends at jsu with similar backgrounds; it wasn't as common as it was at howard, which is the school she eventually ended up at. I'd recommend the John H. Johnson school of communications at howard. D.C. is a great city for this major, and Howard is an excellent university.
Thanks for the info. I've heard alot bout their communications school. I may consider it
