then explain why just under 20% of black americans have college degrees despite the wealth of BLACK OPERATED colleges all over the country? Easily the most black institutions of higher learning anywhere in the world?

I'm about to get my associates degree soon and I have plans on going to UoH, but I'm still thinking about going to TSU. Then again, I do need to see how their computer science programs are.

S/O to THE University of Maryland Eastern Shore for shaping me up into the man I am now. If pass all my critical classes, I’ll be walking that stage with two of my friends next month and my sister will follow suit in the Spring of 2020, making her the second person (after myself if all goes well) as well as the first woman in the whole family to graduate from a four year institution.

#HAWKPRIDE CATCH IT!!!!! :blessed:

Student loan debt isn’t an issue for me cause I’m in rotc and got the scholarship. For me it came down to transferring to uncg or A&T and I said fukk it and chose A&T just for the experience. I feel like that will be the only time in my life I will have the chance to be surrounded by mainly black excellence (students and professors) plus honestly the whole A&T experience I think is something that can’t be replicated at any other university; white or black. I went to a&ts homecoming this year and shyt had me :mjgrin::mjlit:and the whole weekend I was like:ohlawd:
I don’t necessarily think PWIS are bad to go to either. I just think you gotta be a certain type of “brotha” to thrive and be truly happy in this environment...and I am not that type of brother.

about a month into this semester I was like “fukk this shyt and these cacs”:francis: and decided I was transferring. Honestly if I hadn’t already of taken a gap year I would of dropped out of this bytch too:bryan:

Didn’t know you had went to NC state though, why didn’t you like it?
I did some things I wasn’t supposed to be doing out there, and let’s just say State was tired of me. A&T gave me another chance.

I should’ve went there from the start, as I’m a legacy Aggie. My mom and pop went there, had me while they were there, and my pop used to always take me to campus when I was a youngin. Everyone on my dads side of the fam went to HBCUs. Uncle and Aunty went to NCCU, my other aunties went to WSSU and Johnson C Smith

I will encourage probably force my kids if I have them to attend a HBCU. I got accepted to Spelman but did not attend. I wanted to apply to Howard University but my school guidance counselor told me when I ran that by her that I wouldn't be accepted so don't waste my time in applying. Looking back I regret listening to her.

Not only is spelman a great school, but the networking there alone is worth it for young ladies to go there.

i work in the education field, and I’ve worked alongside a ton of spelman grads. A spelman degree alone will get them in the door in Atlanta

I'd go to a HBCU but there's none near me and I'm not trying to go out of state racking up $50,000
