Q: HOWARD UNIVERSITY!!!!?
what is so great about howard university? i really want to go there

A: Howard University is a very good school that is deep in tradition and culture. Although I don't attend Howard it was one of my top three and I got accepted there also. I also have ALOT of friends who attend there and have visited on some occasions. My best friend goes there and she loves it although the work is hard it is rewarding. They having many different majors and numerous oppurtuinitys to network,study abroad, and find internships in your intended field. It is also a HBCU( Historically Black College or Univeristy) and prides it self on being the birth place of some of the leading Black sororities and fraternities in the country. The Alpha chapters of Alpha Kappa Alpha (1908), Delta Sigma Theta (1913), Omega Psi Phi (1911), Phi Beta Sigma (1914), and Zeta Phi Beta (1920) were established on the Howard campus. You should do some indebt research on the school and maybe join facebook and ask some current students their views on the school. In adition I believe Howard has a weekedn program possible students can attend after being accepted.

The person him- or herself also is a mitigating factor -- after all, it is a student who attends these great schools and not the books and ink pens and laptops. Initiative, bravery, perspective, my friend. These always import !
