Best Colleges for African Americans

[BigMan]

It did. It was number 50

Also shoutout to your school. President Obama is going to speak at your commencement.

the different campuses are almost different colleges I'm sure NB has a higher grad rate than Newark tho

Sweet, UVa is in there....though I'm a little mad at how much the average student loan debt is. I owe way more than that.
And Rutgers Newark, thats interesting. I was there for summer courses a couple years, and it was pretty cool. Actually a pretty decent group of black n hispanics in those classes too.

Is FAMU considered an elite HBCU? Serious question. It seems like I know some folks from FAM doing thy thing but I know about the same number who ain't really doing shyt. Seems like it could go either way. But it's a lot higher than I thought it would be

 

[NO-BadAzz]

Dayum no Southern University
when we have (don't know if we still) the best nursing program and EE program...


Sheesh..

 

[Human Torch]

Knew Howard would be there. It's lower than I expected. But that's because it's expensive as shyt. Also our last president damn near had us about to close our doors.

We gon bounce back tho. We always do my boy Barry speaking at graduation this year. I might have to slide through

I bet all my coli cash that he's going to give a condescending lecture to the Howard grads like he did Morehouse.

Yes, it is an elite HBCU and has been for a long time. It's been the largest until recently. I think North Carolina A&T has more students enrolled currently.

Not close but if Blacks are undervalued and skills regardless of race is highly valued, those with it will be paid more than those without it.

Engineering gives you skills. IT generally gives you skills.

I think region matters. So many DC schools because DC got a lot more Blacks in high positions then other cities.

Why is FAMU on that list with a 39% graduation rate?

Engineering and technology. Simple as that. Skills always win

State schools where they learn to assimilate. They really ain't learning anything different in a specific school like a black college so goto any diverse school so they can learn other cultures. I wish I knew how to be like a Carlton Banks but the hood is my DNA and face. I can't talk that talk and joke and play around with cacs, and other races like them co0ns

State schools are the worst for Black folks. Well 2ND to for profit and shyt wack private schools.

Tech college is probably the 3rd best next solid HBCUs with a very good major. 1st is elite tier private schools. I still say Howard is an elite school in the right major. They got extremely thorough connects in the right fields.
