WHAT I LIKED
The events and activities around campus are engaging for students, and with how small the campus is, many connections can be made. It's easy to reach out to teachers and get the help you need and easily set up meetings with any member of staff who can help.
WHAT I didn’t LIKE
There weren't many events that caught my attention, and I started to feel homesick.
4.0
WHAT I LIKED
The HBCU experience and the family environment.
WHAT I didn’t LIKE
The dorms are a bit small.
3.0
WHAT I LIKED
It is the classic experience of the hbcu student. Having black professors was amazing but the entire experience was not worth the price
WHAT I didn’t LIKE
Be aware of unchallenging academics and unmotivated professors
