In my Lifetime Vol. 2

HBCU Edition




College can be fun and it can also be culturally stimulating. Attending a black college is one of the best experiences that an African-American can have. The struggles, the history, and the successes of most Historically Black Colleges/Universities are astounding. It is truly a privilege to follow the legacies of some of America’s most profound black leaders by attending and graduating from a Historically Black College/University.

Leaving high school and deciding on what college to go to was a crazy experience. I looked at local colleges and they just didn’t fit my taste. After careful research and attending many college tours, I decided to attend an HBCU. Next was the hard part, figuring out what HBCU to attend because I wanted to stay in the state and still wanted to get away from home.

I have had the opportunity to attend Morris College (http://www.morris.edu/). I would have to say that this was definitely one of the best experiences in my life. I was able to grow and understand who I was and the struggles that African-Americans have gone through in order to get me there. Besides all of the parties, different cultures, and excitement, I did end up learning more than I thought that I would. My experience at an HBCU has helped shape the person that I am today. As a senior, there are many decisions that I must make going into the real world. I am caught between going to law school, and taking a position with a federal agency.

Let me know your ideas and thoughts on what I should do.

In the Meantime, These are the Top 5 HBCUs

1. Morehouse College
2. Spelman College
3. Clark Atlanta University
4. Florida A&M University
5. Howard University
