WELCOME TO HOWARD UNIVERSITY!!!!

This Question and Answer thread was developed to answer ANY and EVERY inquiry from those who have officially selected Howard University as their place for academic growth! And for those who are still undecided about where you will be in the fall, hopefully this thread will help you lean towards furthering your education at HU Clap

If you have any questions pertaining to Howard University, registration, athletics, Greek life, campus life, Homecoming, Washington, DC, clubs, shopping malls, classes, majors, minors, roomates, etc. DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK QUESTIONS! Although Howard alumni and students are not experts in all areas of college life, we will try our best to answer your questions directly and in a timely manner. Thumbup1

There are many current Bison and HU alums who post on this board.If you have a question that you are not comfortable posting in the open forum, utilize the PM (private messaging). Us Howardites are very friendly and responsive! Also, feel free to post your Myspace, Facebook, YIM, AIM or any other method of contact (if your feel comfortable doing so) in an effort to network, meet and greet others who are or will be associated with Howard University. I only make this thread ONCE a year so BE SURE TO ASK QUESTIONS! Laugh

Am I underminding the amount of energy it takes to succeed academically...no. Im just sick of people underminding what it takes to succeed athletically... Or even both, like my "he only hea for football" a**... when i probally have better grades and scores than some on academic scholarship...

I aint even tryin to hear that....I was in the band and practiced 5 days a week just like the football team. We marched in the same 104 degree weather the football team did and some days, we were on the field LONGER than the football players. When I got to Howard I was in the marching band, newspaper staff, a Resident Assistant, had a internship and had to maintain my grades ALL AT THE SAME TIME. If I can juggle 3 activities, good grades and a job, then I'm sure playing one little sport would be a breeze...
