I was on mtv.com and saw in casting call that this topic is soon going to be an episode, and just wanted everyone who comes to this site to know about it (and possibly give sum one the idea of considering this?) True Life: I Go To An All Black College Originally African American colleges were created to ensure equal educational opportunities for black students. Today, many of these schools stand out academically, have developed unique cultures and are even sought out by non-black students. Do you attend a predominantly African American college and feel your school has a different culture than most "typical" colleges? Are you part of an upcoming event that is unique to your university? Are you part of a sorority, fraternity or sports team and have a rivalry with another black university? Are you one of the few non-black students at an all black college? If you appear between the ages of 18 and 28 and one of these scenarios describes you, e-mail True Life at college@mtvstaff.com. Please include name, address and phone number. Now, who would actually consider this? (I wish I could, but Im still in High School :cry: )

I just have one thing to say. Albeit if this was in smack talk I wouldn't say it. But, be gracious that the lot of us here attend schools as good as Howard and Hampton and so forth. Every single graduate from any HBCU is another step towards moving on up the equality ladder. It's not easy getting a degree, and it's definitely not easier finding a well paying job. And thankfully for all of us, HBCU degrees are being sought after by companies than some top notch schools. **** for you all. I'm Italian. I'm already on top of the ladder :lol: Please excuse my poor choice of sarcastic comments. Thunder

See what happens when u start dissin Howard. Folks come out of the boonies to represent :lol: . As for the school debate thing that u have going on Monte, u can show those "statistics" until your finges cramp up, but the fact of the matter is, regardless for dorms/sports/setting or whatever other crap, these institutions are obviously doing something right if they are helping to develop leaders and successful alumni. Morehouse, Spelman, Hampton, Xavier, and Howard (that order might have changed in recent years tho) are rated as the top hbcus academically and competitively speaking with PWIs. No one has gone out of their way to dis Tuskegee, they've only sought to defend their own, so it baffles me as to why u are so concerned with putting other HBCUs down. I have no desire to talk negatively about your school. Why? Becuz your school was founded on the same principle as mine: to give African Americans the opportunity to receive an adequate education. To put down your institution would be equivalent to putting down my own
