Coming from a prestigious prodominatly white school in New York City which I have attended for nine years now, I am definately ready to get out of this environment. I am apprieciative for all of the opportunities I have been offered, but I felt like I was loosing part of myself by being in a place for so long where I was the minority. I feel that I adapt well to people, but I am kind of nervous about making that transition from the prodminately white school to the prodominately black school. I was wondering if there was anyone else out there who has had to experience this and was it difficult to make that transition?
I was in the same predicament while making my transition from an all white-private high school to an HBCU. At first, I questioned my decision, but now, I wouldn't change it for the world. I would say, make sure you stay open-minded and make sure you don't write off every experience as negative. I wish you luck in your decision.
That depends on where you go I guess. I came from a white school going into morehouse and I realized that every other kid there was coming from mostly white schools too and therefore had most of the same social skills than I had.
I'm in the same situation now so you are not alone. Therefore I don't know what advice to give :?: since I'm stuck as well. All I can say is pray about it and God will put you where he wants you. Just let go of the stress, trust me you will feel a lot better! Good luck
i agree wit everyone else. be yourself and have an openmind
i came from a similar experience. at first i didn't want to go to morgan, i just went because they gave me the largest scholarship. when i first came 2 baltimore i was like, "dang i'm in the ghetto" and a lot of folks were like, "where u from", "u sound white" etc. but i soon got used to it, i love morgan. u learn to appreciate ur culture more after goin 2 a black school and u have faculty and staff who really have ur best interest @ heart. plus, its nice to see educated people that look like u and kno where ur comin from.
