First of all oh mee goodness u r a film major! I am a rising Senior and I've been eyeing HU for film since the 8th grade but i've read so many reviews that say different things I'm skeptical that Howard is really for me ...so now im looking at spelman too (since i recently found out they have film). I'm looking for a school where I can get a well-rounded experience not just preprofessional training and good parties...(although those are a plus) an intellectual school where people can learn from each other. in a review someone that goes there said "The experience I've gotten from Howard has been inspiring yet disappointing...a large segment of Howard students perpetuate Black stereotypes. I've heard some opinions expressed in classes which have no factual basis and are pretty ignorant and uninformed...The preprofessionalism spills over to the mindset of the students. You will find classmates asking 'What can you do with your degree?' rather than 'What are you reading?'...I would say if you want classmates who talk about texts outside of class and who are passionate about human rights, you will feel out of place because most of the people here are about fashion, dating, and money." Is this true? Please help me!

Is this true? And do spelmanites ever get the feeling that they are surrounded by too many females? Please help me!
