[get these nets]

From here

​

Applications to and enrollment at HBCUs went up after ADW debuting in Sept 24, 1987

In your perception.....in terms of numbers, school performance, profile, and alumni (contributions & visibility) ......which college do you think got the best stimulus package from ADW airing?

Who got the biggest boost?

Stimulus wtf does that mean? No hbcu was like Hillman. It was all fiction and the actual hbcu experience was disappointing comparing it to TV.

 

[Mastamimd]

I'd say Howard probably

I don't know which schools benefitted the most from ADW, but I can tell you that the show was the reason that everybody called our on-campus restaurant "The Pit".

Going by enrollment numbers, one could make the argument for NC A&T. It is the largest HBCU in terms of number of students.

Did it have largest enrollment pre-ADW? If not, which college did it overtake in terms of enrollment?

lolz. one of my nephews worked in the Shaw U. campus cafeteria. graduated, came home got himself a Subway franchise in about 3 years with no help from his parents.
I gave him the $15k down payment to open up a 2nd shop but he f-ed it up.

Yup...the more "upscale" HBCU's probably nabbed some kids that normally would have gone to a PWI based on their test scores, suburban background etc.

The small town/country HBCU's got the same kids they always got but maybe in higher numbers.
