I'm going into my second semester at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, and I'm a Jouralism major. U of L is what you'd call a PWI, and I have no problem with it, but I know I'd like to attend a smaller liberal arts school with a more in depth African American History department, and Dillard seems like a perfect fit. Although, I attended schools with even less diverse students (my high school had less than 20 out of 300 black seniors), and I'm constantly being criticized for not being black enough or not fitting into the stereotype. I really want to attend an HBCU because of the sense of history and atmosphere of being around (what I would assuume to be) like minded students. NOTE: THIS IS NOT MY OPINION It seems that the common consensus on HBCUS is that they are party schools and that they are filled with easily distracted Hip Hp heads. Or have I been misinformed??
