"We are the Fury"
I'm just venting a bit but all of this is fact based. I was at a state school (PWI) before I transferred to an HBCU on a military scholarship. Bear in mind in order to accept the scholarship and ultimately pursue the military career I wanted, I had to finish my last 2 years at an HBCU.
I'm a little dissatisfied with a few things:
-Lack of funding. There's no gym. We were allowed to use anoother gym down there street but a fight broke out, and now everyone from my school is banned. Even though we pay an athletic/gym fee
-Mf's here blatantly skip class for 3-6 weeks at a time. Why pay 30k a year to not go to class?and then when we do have to do some work i.e. Writing a 1-3 page paper, these same people are complaining like the professors are pulling teeth. At the state school the black pop was like 45%, but if you were fukking around academically, the other black people there would sort of distance themselves from you. -Overcharging for dorms
-I rarely get emails in my student email account. On the rare occasion I get a reminder to vote for SGA or something. No reminders for internships or job fairs. But I get an email for the Que cookout we had last Sunday
-Administraion losing documents for W/e reason
-People are scheduled to graduate one semester then they "magically" need 2 more classes to graduate aka the school wants them to stay longer so they can get more money
-Before I even came I had to get some documents signed by my (soon to be) major chair of the program I'm in..this woman took 6 months to sign 2 pieces of paper. Then acted like I was harassing her when I called to check on it, when I had to turn the necessary paperwork to my boss
-Students more worried about Greek life, running for SGA, etc then actual work. Like wtf man. Ive gotten some draws but yo in the grand scheme of things that's a small part of the equation..you can always get draws if you decent looking but I have a problem with these schools being poorly ran and they try to cover it up under the guise of "We need HBCU's" well Shii I agree. I also stand by what I've noticed in the time I've spent at one
I'm not bashing HBCU's but It's just frustrating..I feel like they're robbing students smh charging 30k a year and Shii don't even work right or run smoothly.
It's hard to read this, and to read people bashing HBCUs in general period.
But as a former student of two, I know exactly what you speak of. And it's not to say that some of these things don't happen at PWIs, it's just that these things happen ten-fold AND go unchecked, at HBCUs. It's such a shame. And again, I speak from EXPERIENCE.
Some of this stuff, including the partying, isn't exclusive to HBCUs. If you go to a normal PWI you're also going to find people who habitually skip classes. That's college. However the rest of your experiences are ridiculous and shouldn't happen. At my school there is a 5 week limit for document processing and while documents are often lost, I don't think they are lost all that often. I really think that you and other like-minded students need to start protesting and complaining about these issues. Schools in Canada don't charge 30k a year and are far better run.
There should 100% be a gym on campus, documents should be processed in a timely fashion, etc. Canadian and European schools have lower tuition and offer more amenities. These things need to change!
That high? My school is only at like 8%
Why would you leave that?
Word, we was at 15 percent.
I HATE to contribute to this thread
...I am a very proud HBCU graduate, but my school cafeteria was TRASH...I suffered through that slop for 4 years straight...in my senior year, that sorry ass cafe finally got a belgium belgian waffle grille for the breakfast crowd and nggas lined up for that like the school was passing out full ride scholarships

But do these universities have the reputation to compete with these HBCU's in America?
Excluding the most prestigious ones (Oxford, Cambridge, Mcgill, University of Toronto).

Well, what would be the difference...? if the academia being taught is respected, I don't see how they wouldn't be comparable to most schools in the states.....

Typical Stockholm Syndrome thread. HBCUs have produced a lot of Black Excellence
. The things OP named are typical college shyt. Things like people skipping class
some of these people were just in HS a couple months ago
Tf u expect it's college.
OAN.. It does seem like HBCUs are way more concerned with things like Greek life than PWIs
You really think HBCUs are more concerned with greek life with all these lawsuits against greeks on PWI campuses?
I didn't go to an HBCU but I can say that a lot of schools are full of fukkery.
Get what you came for and be done with it.

So much hate for black people

Outside of UPenn it usually isn't pushed as heavily as Black Greek Life is on HBCU campuses. To be an Alpha or a Kappa or an AKA or a Delta is to gain like an entirely different set of values and the shyt is almost hierarchical.
