WELCOME TO HOWARD UNIVERSITY!!!! This Question and Answer thread was developed to answer ANY and EVERY inquiry from those who have officially selected Howard University as their place for academic growth! And for those who are still undecided about where you will be in the fall, hopefully this thread will help you lean towards furthering your education at HU If you have any questions pertaining to Howard University, registration, athletics, Greek life, campus life, Homecoming, Washington, DC, clubs, shopping malls, classes, majors, minors, roomates, etc. DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK QUESTIONS! Although Howard alumni and students are not experts in all areas of college life, we will try our best to answer your questions directly and in a timely manner. There are many current Bison and HU alums who post on this board.If you have a question that you are not comfortable posting in the open forum, utilize the PM (private messaging). Us Howardites are very friendly and responsive! Also, feel free to post your Myspace, Facebook, YIM, AIM or any other method of contact (if your feel comfortable doing so) in an effort to network, meet and greet others who are or will be associated with Howard University. I only make this thread ONCE a year so BE SURE TO ASK QUESTIONS! WELCOME TO THE BISON FAMILY CLASS OF 2012!

I have a question. How good are the cheerleaders? I know I have to be a second semester freshman to try out but is it worth it?
WELCOME TO THE BISON FAMILY! The cheerleaders at Howard are complicated...there is a Blue Squad and a White Squad (I dont know the difference so dont ask LOL!). And the football cheerleaders are different from the basketball cheerleaders. Freshmen have cheered before...there have been try-outs held in August in past years for freshmen students but I'm sure if they still do them. There are a few clips on You Tube for you to check out: YouTube - Howard University "Bison" Cheerleaders YouTube - Howard University Bison Cheerleaders 3

Awww....I wanted you to come to Howard. But I'm sure you will enjoy Fisk; I know a few who went there and loved it!

Its cool...You should like Fisk. Tennessee State and Meharry are the other HBCUs in Nashville so you'll see others from Black colleges in the city. Plus, like you said, Vanderbilt is a good choice for grad school and is also in the area.

I was looking into Meharry for Medical School...but if I'm not fed up with Howard I might stay there. I didn't know it was an HBCU until recently either though.

It’s good to see that you are coming to Tennessee. Fisk University and Vanderbilt are good universities. Nashville is home to 3 HBCU’s (TSU, Fisk University, Meharry Medical College) and several other Universities/Colleges (Vanderbilt, Belmont, Lipscomb, Trevecca, Nashville School of Law, MTSU), which means you will encounter several young adults.

The first link has some info on the meal plans and the second lets you know all the places you can eat on campus: Sodexho Meal Plan Info Meal Plans - New Student Orientation: HU 101 - Howard University Most freshmen get the Traditional 19 which consists of Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. But if you are NOT a morning person and schedule your classes for the afternoon, then you wont need the 19 because you probably wont be eating breakfast that often. Sophomore year I think I had the On The Go 10....I had all afternoon/evening classes and I didnt wake up until lunch time anyway LOL! Hopefully you wont have to take out loans after this year. Keep your grades up during your freshmen year and you will qualify for those upperclassmen scholarships, work study and on-campus jobs that will help you pay for your education
