If your school has offered to help students, post it here. I guess this could serve as some type of central list.

Spelman idalso accepting students from New Orleans, however, I am not sure if we are at capacity yet. www.spelman.edu
^^Aww I missed ya. How are you doing at Southern?^^
I know my school already took some people and I think there is room for more...USC Upstate(University of South Carolina Spartanburg) http://www.uscupstate.edu
My college, Virginia State University, is supposed to take in students from Dilliard, Xavier, etc. But the only problem would be the fact that they don't have the space to house students, therefore they're going to put them in a Best Western Hotel that's 15 minutes from campus. Now my question is, how can my college take in students when we don't have the means to accomodate them? What about people who don't have a car to get to/from campus? *smh*
Exactly! I heard VSU took in 500 students from those schools. We have like, NO more space!! They even had trouble housing all of the freshmen this year. Then they wanna ask us (in my dorm) if we wanna move to a hotel so there will be rooms for these students....um no.
