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!

they are surrounded by too many females? Please help me!
