Any questions about pre orientation or Howard just ask because I might forget something.
:arrow: Pretty campus and I don't think it is in the ghetto. It just look like a black neighborhood that is doing what they can do with the money they have. So people shouldn't make a big deal of its location, I like the surroundings feel like home to me.
:arrow: Dorms are nice, they a koo size. I seen Crandall and Truth and the air is very nice. It will be a little tight having two other roommates, but nothing a person couldn't deal with. The community bathrooms are clean and its not hard sharing a bathroom with others on your floor. I did get a chance to see Frazier and the dorms looked a little bigger, but it was so hot on that end. The males don't have a dorm at the moment :lol: They suppose to be building a new male dorm, but it isn't done yet and I don't know what is going on with Drew so yall might be in a hotel from what I hear until everything it ready.
:arrow: The food they served us was so good I don't know if it will be that way once we start college, but I know I enjoyed the soul food!
:arrow: Prepare to do a lot of walking to get to classes.
:arrow: Oh yeah and ladies watch out for the **** wall :lol: Don't hang out or sit around the wall in front of the quad because that is where girls stand and get picked up by guys and holla at.
:arrow: The youngest person there was a 15 year old male, one white guy, and a guy I give so much props to was there and was deaf and he is still doing what he need to do.
:arrow: We did have to take a reading and vocab test and write an essay in a time period. They use the answers to tell you where you need improvement and if you will stay in the regular English class.
:arrow: If you are taking a basic math you don't get credits towards graduation, but will receive a grade for the class.
:arrow: The metro is easy to take and cheap.
:arrow: Also our parents will have no access to any information (e.g. cannot get our room number, grades, check to see if we been doing well in class, get a report card, etc.) unless we give permission.
:arrow: We have no curfew, but visitation times.
:arrow: There isn't a lot of parking areas and transportation is available in so many forms that a car isn't needed.
I'll come back with more later and I can't wait until I have pictures to show yall!
