Prospective Spelman Women

lol. it is sorta confusing. but let's see...(ion wanna make it too long) she said they rarely have more than 540 freshmen. they DO give out of state scholarships. BUT out of 540 girls, only the best of the best (between 120-130 girls) will get A LOT of money. She said like 20 of the freshmen this year got the Bill Gates thingy. Also, the scholly's are constantly re-awarded so don't be so down if you don't get one immediately. The girls who get them don't always decide to enroll and they have to give the money to someone else. she said the school is about sisterhood and the auc is your family. during orientation you get a spelman sister (upperclass girl) & a morehouse brother. I don't know if they're upperclass or freshman cuz she didn't state that. You know how people say, "Look to the left, Look to the right. At the end, those people won't be here" she said at Spelman they say, "Look to the left, Look to the right. Those are your sisters" There is no curfew! There's male visitation & most freshman dorms have community bathrooms but they do have people who clean them. Don't worry about the school being in the hood. It's fully gated and there are 30 police officers on campus 24/7 and emergency call boxes everywhere in case you need help. No one gets in the gate without id. She said she works there everyday and they ask her for it. lol Petty theft is about the only problem that they've had to deal with. Uh...You can study abroad or do a domestic exchange to various schools. All you have to pay is SC tuition and transportation. Everything else is cool. You have to maintain a 2.5 while at the school, but the faculty will catch you before you get that far. There are tutors and whatnot. And...just ask the rest cuz I don't know what else to say. :-)
