Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

Students are more than satisfied with the quality of education that they are receiving at Howard. Students seem to have no trouble meshing with their peers, as well as the faculty. In fact, the only qualm that students seem to have is experiencing the difficulties of dealing with HU administration. The bureaucracy and red tape involved with getting anything done at the administrative level is nothing short of nerve racking, and the race to ensure that your financial aid is administered on time and paperwork properly entered into the system is probably more effective for rapid weight loss than any weight loss program currently being advertised. But even with all the little frustrations that come with dealing with the administration, there is a firm consensus among the students that there is no better place for them to be than where they are now. From the quality of the relationships they have formed to the quality of the education that they are receiving, as well as the numerous opportunities made available to them, HU students are pretty darn happy. Overall, Howard provides the ideal atmosphere for anyone who’s interested in politics or pursuing a career that’s in any way relevant to the process of developing public policy.

Howard is often referred to as the mecca, or the center of every Historically Black College or University in the nation, and the unified pride that the students have in its history and what it represents is very real and very substantial. While there’s no denying that there is room for improvement on many levels, the important thing is that Howard University is expanding on the good and improving on the not-so-good—constantly striving to become better with each passing year. More importantly, most students feel like they can be a valuable, contributing part of this process.

Academics

I can only speak for the School of Business. One thing about Howard is how much departments can vary. I think the School of Business is really on top of their stuff. They offer us with plenty of resources outside of the classroom and give us lots of exposure to big companies.

Strictness at Howard

They are strict and put too much attention where they shouldn't. We have very strict visitation rules for the dorms. I think this should not be such a high area of focus. They can worry more about protecting students from criminals then protecting them from having fun from one another.

Experience at Howard

So far, I have enjoyed my experience at Howard University. Coming in freshman year, it was everything I hoped for and more. It's crazy because in most cases, students only go to school for classes but going to Howard is an experiences, most of which occurs outside the classroom. Sometimes, I wonder if the abundant social scene lifestyle takes away from the academics. I've came to the conclusion that it makes you a whole-rounded person. You learn to be driven at Howard and you are exposed to such different people and life perspectives. There is so many things going on at Howard that your experience is what you make it. You have the opportunity to fulfill a lot of your potentials here
