Kissing HBCU SCHOOLS GOOD BYE Posted on 05-30-2004

Hotep, Peace and Blessing unto you and your whole household IT was a sad day on Friday May 26th 2004 at 11am est. I looked into my mail box and there was a letter from a very respected school in the Midwest. The Letter said that I had been accepted and that was all I needed to see. I said well HBCU haven't done their Job and now It's time to fire them and let the Predominantly White Colleges do what they do best!!! I gave Wilberforce a Try but they failed, mess up my Money, and won't call me back. I have to get a deferments on my loan because they didn't tell Sallie Mae I was in school . Drama that all that they have cause me! They didn't have summer school. The dorms look like a prison. So, I had to Jump ship and Next Fall I will be Attending Otterbein College in Westerville, Oh it a suburb of Columbus. The bill is steep at $27,000 at year and about $700-$800 in books but I done my homework(this time) it's worth every penny. I trying to go to GRAD School and If I would have stayed at the WU I wouldn't feel prepared. Sad but the Truth! I will miss some of my friends I told them they seemed sad but I told a few that I would visit them when school start back. GOOD BYE HBCU And HELLO PWI The Prince

Hotep, Just came back from the Otterbein. I know that I confused them I had on my laid back attire. When I worked in and told them my name they look like hmmmm. Then the women said your the one I talked to on the phone. I know I kind of surpised them them my appearance. I had on gray sweats and a red shirt and a red grayish red OHIO STATE HAT. I hadn't shaved rather trim up. But it was cool they respected me. I ask them not about Fin. Aid I said who do I need to talk with about my scholarships. She was like mmmmmmmmmmm DA. So, Tommorrow I have to call some women to GET MY MONEY. I just got some grant from something I don't remember doing I got like 5500. HMMM the things we forget. Prince... OTTERBEIN 2800 Whites and maybe 200 people of color(Asian, Black, latino) What a Change!!!!!

just my opinion, so people dont get mad....if you transfering because of fin. aid and your parents make way too good money is a cop-out...hbcu are cheap thats why im transfering to one, i went to a privite pwi school for two years...it was cool but the reason i'm leaving it was close to home i want to go away for school, i want to experience black colleges to the max and grow with other black college people!!!this is my gut feeling, and my emotionally feeling, most people boo-woo about being in hbcu, remember life is not fair, holla!!!!!!
