The Good, Bad, and UGLY of HBCU's

The Good, Bad, and UGLY of HBCU
Posted By: Bryon Hollman on November 01, 2005

Okay. I really need everyone’s help. Some friends and I are doing some research on HBCU’s. Ironically, despite attending different HBCU’s, we all seem to have the same horror stories about our times there, from registration, dorm life, sub-par professors, a curriculum filled with classes that make no sense, and visitation and parking problems. So what I need from you all is share your horror stories.



I need for people to share at least five things that they love and hate about their HBCU and how they would change those things. You can leave a response here, or if you need time to think about it send me a line at hollmanb@hotmail.com. Everyone seems to have all of the answers of how to fix things. I want to see what people have. Thanks.
Don’t forget to include your HBCU, major and years you attended.

I agree the registration process is rough. Also their are to many cliques at HBCU's if you not a follower its hard to fit in.

I loved my college because they all treated me like family,
Things that were bad: Dorms sometimes were overcrowded, money(workstudy),classes filled up, enough books not in the bookstrore, I could go on & on but I won't, I would not trade it for any amount in the world, mainly the "Black Experience"

Oh yeah registration for me too, was mindblowing, . . .
