College Prowler Take
At Howard, the best existing facilities are probably the libraries, the cafeterias, the student center, the science labs and departments, the athletic department, and the School of Business. This is due mostly to the fact that these buildings and facilities are either fairly new in comparison to some of the other buildings that have been built as early as 1867, have been renovated, or had new components added as of late. Generally, all the facilities on campus are well-maintained and much of campus receives high praise from students. However, there are some classrooms in some of the more sparsely populated departments—like English and history—that are in less-than-ideal condition. Even though no one can say whether this is because of an oversight on the part of the administration or a matter of priorities, the fact still remains that there is a definite disparity between the condition of some departments over others at Howard. There is an abundance and variety of dining facilities on and around the campus. Also, there are a few charming campus cafeterias, as well as several independent food vendors sprinkled around in strategic spots, as well as the national and international restaurant options that you would expect to find in any major city.

I don't know much about the athletic facilities, but the student center is okay. A lot of students go there to socialize with their friends. The libraries are nice and very convenient.

I live off campus, so I don’t really use the facilities, but I do use the classrooms, and they are sometimes too small for the class sizes. Also, some more smart rooms would be good because I’m a very visual person, and PowerPoint lectures really help me to absorb the information. |

FactsWhat To Do on Campus
Students generally find their own fun, whether it is attending Friday Night Live in the Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel or in the game room of the Armour J. Blackburn center. Often time’s new movies will be shown at Cramton Auditorium, free of charge to Howard Students as long as they present their student identification cards. There are also sporting events held on campus, ranging from intramural basketball to soccer matches in Greene Stadium.
Favorite Things To Do
Students like to attend the movie screenings in Cramton Auditorium, but those events are not usually highly publicized so students have to look out for them. During the spring semester when the weather is consistently warm, students like to grab a blanket and hang out on the Yard. Additionally, there are instances when well-known authors come to the bookstore to do book signings or hold symposiums.
