Black College Life...whats that?
|
Posted By: Ashanti Johnson on July 26, 2005 Last year I attended a predominately white school, ISU. It was only 13% minority and the parties were as bunk as they come. I felt that I was deprived of the cultural experience that I should have had upon entering college. For this reason I have decided to attend TSU. I am a part of the Student Exchange Program so I will only be able to go to TSU for one school year and while attending TSU I will be paying my ISU tuition (that’s a blessing cause I can’t afford no out-of-state tuition). SO my question to all yall out there, is do u think that I will get the black college life experience that I am hoping for in such a short period of time?

I understand what your saying thats the reason why i chose to go to Tuskegee University. I mean there is a highly popular school here where i am that everyone is attending but the thing was the school was heavily populated with whites and i was thinking about the exchange program while i was there but i thought maybe i should try the whole black college experience before narrowing it down to just this school. I mean dont get me wrong white schools are good but i haven't been around my people in a long time and i felt it was time for me to get that back. I cant afford no out of state tuition either but i have goals that i have set for myself and going to Tuskegee is one of them no matter how far it is and so i went for it. I mean you should be able to get the same experience from it i mean like Darryl said you might get hooked. But all in all take in what you can and enjoy it.

Good luck Ashanti! I lived in Nashville for several years, graduated from school there, and I can tell you from my MANY accounts with TSU you'll definetly love the atmosphere. There school spirit is VERY high they love there Tigers. Im telling you all this and I dont even like TSU. Im an AAMU Bulldog through and through, but you know the saying 'Real recognize Real' and I believe thats a good selection to get a black college experience! Im pullin for you girl! 1 luv

I think/believe You are a very wise Young Woman. Great decision. I have went to both type schools and I would never trade that valuable experience. The whole world is multicultural and we have to live, survive and make it. No one gets around it no matter what they say. Monday, November 14th 2005 at 5:39PM |
