Wassup y'all? I need some help. I'm choosing which colleges I want to apply to and it is between Hampton and Howard. I have visited both schools and like them both. Can y'all please tell me some TRUE things about both that would help me decide between the two? (ex. safety at Howard, better academics, better social life, dorms, etc.)
Right now I'm thinking about business (marketing)...I know y'all got a really good program
Though I would never admit it to them, but I'm kinda jealous of those School of B cult members/students. They get a lot of internship recruitment and opportunities and many of them graduate with jobs offering 70k+. It's a beautiful thing man.
1. I will tell you young bloods, that you must choose based on what the school will give you. If you are going to Howard but Hampton has the better department for your major then you chose poorly.
2. I chose South Carolina State University http://www.scsu.edu because at the time it was the nations number one minority officer producing school even with more minority officers produced at the time than the US Military Academy at Westpoint. The decision for me paid off as my military training is why I have the six figure income I have now.
3. FAMU, NC A&T and Tuskegee are known for some great engeneering programs that could rival any school. Howard is known for its Law School and Business School for undergrads, so I would put them at the top of the list if that's where I was headed. Dont sleep on small schools because the professors can make you more knowledgeable and tight just by the fact they have time to concentrate on you plus, a wack GPA from a great school may impact you at Grad School time. Plan ahead cause it wasn't raining when Noah built the Arc.
4. There are some unknown majors that can really get you paid if you know about them. Like logistics and transportation. Don't go to any school just for the social but, make sure your plan involves using the University for the most you can get out of it because, they are going to get there money! Some majors pay more than others so dont be afraid to take classes to diversify your resume should a future in the liberal art not take for you. I hate to see an underpaid college grad, lots of us have been there.
