Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Howard guys and girls are always passionate about whatever they do—be it studying, partying, or getting dressed up. And even though the campus was recently voted the second most fashionable university in the country by Women’s Wear Daily, nobody is judged by their fashion sense, or lack thereof. You don’t need to be dressed to the nines or wear bank-breaking outfits to fit in or make friends here—people are ready to accept you and relate to you based on your status as a Bison, first and foremost.

With a female population that severely outnumbers the male population, there is often fierce competition between the girls to snag a good guy. Most Howard girls are genuinely friendly and have great personalities. And since HU students come from all over the globe, they all have something unique and different to offer. There are the homebodies, the fashion mavens, the earth mothers, the tomboys, and so on. The guys are, perhaps, a little more conventional. Given the grave male-to-female ratio, there’s always temptation for them to play around, and some do to a large degree. Generally, speaking, though Howard guys and girls are friendly, intelligent, personable, often outrageous, easygoing, and of course, extremely hot individuals who never cease to work hard and play hard.

Fashion Forward

Howard University was recently ranked the second best dressed school in the country (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/06/27/the-best-dressed-colleges_n_885303.html#s297233&title=Howard_University). The fashion that you will find on campus isn't exclusive to the females. Girls and guys alike dress to impress across the campus. The university's fashion sense represents the creativity possessed by many of its students. That creativity spills over in other ways as well. As evidenced by alumni like Zora Neale Hurston, Taraji P. Henson, and Debbie Allen, the students of Howard not look the part, they ARE the part, graduating to become noted in their fields.

Good Looking, but Not a Good Variety!

The ratio of girls to guys are really poor, girls almost double the amount of guys. The guys here obviously love it, but it's definitely harder for girls.

Absolutely Stunning

Girls and guys are generally so attractive, that both have trouble looking away from each other. That said, the pretty girls know that they are pretty and the attractive guys know exactly which girls are interested in them, so it is very important not to sound too eager to approach someone. Sweatpants are definitely looked down upon on campus unless they are worn by an athlete. The typical uniform for a girl would include cute jeans and a nice top,or a dress with designer shoes and handbag, with some kind of jewelry. Guys typically wear jeans and a jacket, topped off with a hat and the latest sneakers. Relationships get very sticky around campus because many people will be attracted to the same girl or guy, and Howard is much smaller than it sounds. Everyone knows everyone, and there is always someone watching that will assume the worst. If you come to Howard thinking that your personal style won't change, you're wrong. You will become more refined, classic, and you will be influenced by styles from all over.

Facts

Social Scene

The social scene at Howard is pretty much anything goes; there is no set structure. Everybody interacts with everybody. Finding the right group of friends is imperative. Nonetheless, there is always something going on so it is not hard to find people to converse with.

Hookups or Relationships?

Relationships on Howard’s campus are scarce, but that’s not to say they are not possible. Students have in their minds that they are young and now this is the time to have fun, which is why hookups are more common.

Best Places to Meet Guys/Girls

Each semester different dormitories have socials where guys and girls show up. The Undergraduate Library, classrooms, and the Yard are all good places to meet guys and girls as well.

Dress Code

Howard is the second best dressed school in the country, behind New York University; therefore, pretty much anything goes! People dare to be different every day and it is widely accepted. Students like to mix trends from their hometowns with trends in Washington, D.C.
