After much deliberation and reasearch I have come to the conclusion that .....
Howard University is really the best HU in all the land.
Simple because
a) I've never heard anyone say, "Hey Shawty, we need to take a roadtrip to Hampton for they homecoming! I heard P.Diddy was gonna be there!!!!"
b) Howard has a Law School. I mean......what's REALLY FOCKING with that?
^^^That's what I'd like to know :? Why are some people looking for whites (in Alabama, no less :roll: ) to validate OUR schools?
^Exactly, if I were concerned wit their opinion (hell, even some of our own people) I wouldn't have attended ANY HBCU.
But just like rankings....names aren't always everything either. Look at schools like "Yale" who graduated Bush :roll: Thats another story tho. :lol:
Although I haven't officialy started my college education yet, I must say choosing Hampton over Howard does not make Hampton a better school. I was offered a full ride at Hampton and a guy from the alumni association practically begged me to come there saying that the Hampton experience was like no other. However, I chose to go to Howard, which only gave me tuition and fees, because Howard's legacy is priceless. Howard is recognized by both whites and blacks as one of the leading universities for educating blacks. To be honest, not that many whites in Alabama have heard of Hampton. Both are good schools and to me no ranking by any magazine can state which one is better than the other. If I were a pre-med, pre-law, or a business major I would definitely choose Howard over Hampton. It's about choosing the school that will help you in the long run. Unless you plan on going pro in football, I fail to see how Hampton beating Howard makes Hampton a better school. Like I said it's all about choosing the school that works for you.
whoa whoa..you were offered a full ride @ hampton and you went to howard??? wow. if hampton gave me a full ride, i surely would have went there. but i guess money isnt a issue for some people. howard gave me a full ride, that was the major reason why i went there
I'm proud of you for choosing Howard for your education.. It really is a good school... it won't disappoint you. I agree w/ you there... I didn't want to go to Hampton, but I don't think that I would've gone even if they gave me a full ride (FAMU gave me one, but I went to HU and took the lesser scholly..).. so, good for you, and I will see you at the MECCA....
^^^ I definitely have to agree...PWI's were throwin more money at me than any HBCU I applied for...not only did I look at education but I looked at what setting would allow me to develop as a person and basically develop character. Personally I feel it doesn't matter how much education you have...if you aren't a good person and if you don't have good contacts you won't make it too far...and those that have are 1) few and far between and 2) most likely unhappy.
