Okay lovely people of HBCU's here are my imputs on D.C, Howard and everything in between(if u care to know):
D.C-
* I'll have to un-learn how to properly drive because it seems no one knows how to drive
*pedestrians dont stop at red lights i guess and walk slowly across on green
*too too too much traffic everywhere
*bold **** bums from D.C
*houses that are conjoined and painted in extreme colors (whats that about?)
*it'll take some adjusting
Howard-
*a tad bit unorganized especially when it came to financial aid time
*beautiful people. honestly almost all the girls looked like models and a lot of attractive men also
*loved the stores by howard. one i especially would love to shop at is up against the wall
*a lil bit ghetto
*i didnt talk to anybody which sucked.
Overall-
Im lookin forward to the experience, if anybody who reads this goes to Howard or will be going please respond with ur own views on the subject
Lol,
In all honesty, I'm not sure if it's the actual room assignments or if we can RSVP. But he gave me the impression that they were the real room assignments. I have to call back up there Monday about something so I'll try to ask about the room thing....And don't feel alone, we all goin through this hectic stuff! But once again............

Thanks for that info because I would have been the one checking Bisonweb everyday for no reason. Question does it feel like Howard is the only school that appears to be dragging their feet about stuff or is it that we are just been vocal about? I mean for them to be one of the best HBCUs I would expect better organization and communication. 28+ G's a year should allow for that. Am I wrong? :???:
Someone just told me yesterday that for 26-28 G's ( :sad a year, Howard should be calling me daily and not the other way around!...I do feel that HU is taking it's precious time but I also think we're vocal/anxious. It's still May so maybe they see no need to rush....After all it's not TOO much left to do but pick classes, move in and start school...Speaking of which, has anyone taken the placement test?

BTW for those who were wonderin about room assignments that started putting them online today. I got a double in wheatley hall, anybody else check theirs yet?
yup its on bisonweb. i dunno why its not working for u but when you log in you have to make sure you put the @ symbol in front of your student id number. i know that has thrown a few of my friends off, i hope it works for you tho...
