I know I posted this question in another forum but I want to know what the peeps in here think. OK...I always wanted to go to Howard University but recently I have been accepted to a white prestigious school here in california. My fellow classmates and educators except me to attend this other school all because of it's name. Certain individuals feel that i shouldn't choose an HBCU over an "Ivy" type but I feel that I always have graduate school. So why not be in a better environment for undergrad around what I am familar with. However, I still have that opportunity. So, if you were in my shoes which one would you choose?
And please don't say "Follow Your Heart" it's good advice but it doesn't help.
So HBCU or IVY?
If you're wondering I am talking about Stanford. I know it's not a real Ivy but California peeps tend to think it's the Ivy of the West.

I act my age and my shoe size (19) and girl for your paper, hopefully for your side you picked PWIs because they are obviously better.
Shut up. And when you are making your inane comebacks at least be consistent. Last time you said it was 18.

Ohh, that's really logical. I'm crazy and bi-polar. That makes you sound really intelligent. Which one of these bad schools are you going to?
Actually I just decided to go to Stanford. You would like that right? It's "your" type of school right? That's why you're mad that you didn't get in?
