Spelman College - Overall ExperienceCollege Prowler0.00
College Prowler Take
Spelman students generally embrace both the good and the bad elements of their college experience and emerge with a positive overall view. The sisterhood, challenges, and nurturing environment are aspects of their time at Spelman that they cherish the most. Many express a love for Spelman that one could conclude transcends the educational experience and speaks more to a bond formed with the institution, the faculty, and their peers. Spelman is definitely a small school, so there are a few students who may feel like they missed out on the advantages of a big, coed, institution. For others, they like the fact that they had the access to the other campuses of the Atlanta University Center but were always able to return to the gates of Spelman.
Spelman is seen as a journey into womanhood for many young ladies. It is also an opportunity for many students to meet other women of color like themselves, for the first time in their lives. As was mentioned in the Diversity section, Spelman brings together a plethora of women who might not otherwise have met or ever discovered the common bonds they share despite their different upbringings and backgrounds. Academically, Spelman ranks high and has been recognized in the media for producing successful women who go on to be recognized in all fields of study, industry, and business. Students Speak Out

Overall, the Spelman experience, which included academics as well as extracurricular activities, helped prepare me to face the challenges of the real world. Oftentimes, it had me juggling far more projects than the average person could manage. |

Spelman is hands down the best place for any woman, but especially women of color. Spelman does an excellent job of molding strong women and fostering esteem. Being a woman of color is celebrated, discussed, and analyzed in a way that isn’t done in our society. It was at Spelman that I had my first black woman instructor; which is common here. I cannot even put into words how important it is for black women to be in an environment where the faculty and administration consists of black women, many of whom are Spelmanites themselves. I evolved so much through my matriculation at Spelman; especially in my confidence. I am so proud of the woman I am today, and I owe a lot of that to my experience at Spelman. I always said that if I have daughters they can go to any college they wish, but the one school I’m paying for is Spelman! |
