Hey Lauren! Congratulations on your decision to attend a Black College, or HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities). There are several benefits to attending an HBCU, among these is the main fact that these institutions were founded with your success in mind. They were set up to cultivate and train young, black minds. These schools have programs in place which were set up to nurture your social, professional, academic and personal development and growth and there is a built-in support network of people who generally speaking, want to see you do well. Each school is different. There are schools in rural, country areas and there are schools in very busy, urban areas. Large or small, it comes down to what you're looking for in a school. Your first consideration should probably be "what do I want to Major in?". Then take a look at all the black schools with this major. Maybe start with a list of a few possible majors, so as not to limit your choices too much (there are 105 HBCUs). Then take a look at which environment seems right for you and the strength of their programs of study. Looking back, I feel like the undergraduate years in school should be fun, as well as academically challenging. Pay special attention to the atmosphere at a school should you get a chance to visit, because you'll be there for 4 years (or more). Ask students what they do on weekends. Where they eat, party, bowl, workout, etc... Our site is actually a great place to find out a lot about these schools. I've tried to stay general in my response. I hope I've been helpful.
