On Campus, Near Campus
There is quite a few restaurants around, only problem is the few that are close by, close early. There are 2 chines places, a sandwich place, McDonalds and a Caribbean place. These places do not give student discounts, which I'm kinda upset about. The place I like to eat at a lot is the sandwich place called Potbelly.

Engineering Life and Struggles
I'm in CEACS (College of Engineering Architecture and Sciences) The program is helpful at ties and at other times it a struggle. I say its a struggle when trying to get in contact with your academic advisor. The workload I feel is a bit much for freshman and especially the classes, placing us in large classes right off the bat. What I do like is there is always opportunities as far as jobs and internships.

Drug at School
Drug scene at Howard is big then its not. Howard is an open campus and at times theres a lot of locals around the campus using drugs. As far as I know, there isn't peer pressure or I have yet to see it, its more of similar to as "oh let me try it." Alcohol visibility is not high, there are a few liquor stores around campus and that goes with locals carrying stuff around campus.

Process Wasn't Great
Financial aid process was difficult and I think as a freshman it shouldn't be. Most of the information I had to get through others because the workers in the office failed to supply most with information. What made me upset was I had to fly to DC and go to the school to get my finical aid done. Before going to the school calls were made and I kept the same answer we're working on it. When I went to the school it was handled right in front of us. I also think since so much money is coming in, there should be more scholarships given out to incoming.
