What up? It's been official for a while, but I'll be attending Howard University in the fall of 2005 as a freshman. I got accepted early action, and now am being considered for the Legacy scholarship after re-taking the SAT in January. Basically I wanted to get some info on the real HU. I know you current Bisons hate to spit out info for us clueless incoming freshman, but I'd appreciate some responses. :lol: For one, is Drew Hall the only male freshman dorm? If so do they have community bathrooms? And are the bathrooms shared between 2 rooms and 4 people, or are they just on the hall with a million dudes. I took a tour of HU last spring, but they didn't take us into any dorms. Thanks is advance ya'll. I just cannot wait to get on campus. One more thing, , is it true that sophmores can move into the towers if they are in the honrs programs in their coleges. Thanks again.
I'll take the DHP (Drew Hall Projects) question.
On each hall, except for the 1st floor, there is a community bathroom on each wing, meaning that there are two community bathrooms per floor. Most, if not all, Freshman males live in Drew. This is where you're gonna meet most of your boys. Any other questions about Drew? Just holla
Good look branded. So whats on the first floor in regard to bathrooms? Whats the ratio of guys to one community bathroom. Like how many showers are there, and stalls, and sinks? I hate asking lame questions like this, but im just curious. :lol: Also, does each room just hold 2 people, and are the okay size. I know i went to hampton, and their dorm rooms were soooooo small. My two best friends and I are all going to Howard, and we think its impossible to room all together. Are there any triple rooms or conjoined rooms with 4 people. I might be the odd one out. thanks again in advance.
If you're a freshie guy, more than likely you'll be in Drew. There is a chance that u could end up in Carver (which has upperclassman guys as well), or Slowe and Meridian which are both co-ed. I'd say u have a safe bet with Drew tho.
And yes, u can definately go to the Towers (eastside) soph. year if u are in the honors program. That's where i'll be next year, woo hoo! . Well, that's if i can keep my gpa on point. Let's pray on that one folkz :?
I have the biggest double in this here DREW HALL You'd better hope that your room is near the stairs so you can get a room like mine 8)
Oh yeah, this nasty **** place got mice..... :x
****. You ain't lying bout them damn mice neither. LOL....
P.S.: Heatseakerz, Drew Hall is a pretty good dorm tho compared to other colleges. It's kept pretty clean in the bathrooms, and no the showers aren't open if you were wondering
Ey I got another question!
I am considering bringing my car so I get around, you know to the store and things like that. What do you all think? Do you think it is wise for a first year student @ HU to bring their car? Its gonna feel kinda weird not havin my car fa real.

my guy friend has a car, and he regrets it every day and only brought it for his org....he hates the way DC people drive, because they drive very ROUGH....like i would give it one semester not even a year, and then bring your car to truly decide if ya need it....but it depends on what kind of driving youre used to cause DC driving is an experience in and of itself ,think of driving "mariokart style"

Yep, very true. Plus, the streets/lanes are small & cramped in DC. Not to mention the city is shaped like a giant maze :???: .
I've already given u the lil lecture J, but just in case others were wondering is well, i'll just spit a lil info. If u have a car at HU i can PROMISE u that u will get at least one parking ticket, and that is being modest. U have to do a lottery to get a parking lot spot & even that isn't always rewarding cuz u could end up with a spot in the boonies. I know mad peeps whose cars have been broken into. Don't forget that HU is in the hood. The parking hours on the street are absolutely ridiculous, and i can't tell u how many boots i've seen on peeps cars ova here.
Don't get me wrong, there are benefits. Like, when going grocery shoppin, the convenience of not dealing with public transportation, move in, etc. Not to mention, how u can help Kenya out by giving her a ride every now and then (hint hint) :grin:.
, is it true that sophmores can move into the towers if they are in the honrs programs in their coleges. Thanks again.
