Do you ever feel like you missed a part of the Black experience by not attending an HBCU?

I’m not really concerned with or care how you feel about him now, but being on an HBCU campus the night Obama won the election :wow:

We acted a plum fool on campus that night, and marched into the city. Professors cancelled classes the next day, as we was still partying that next day. My pop called me that night, telling me I know y’all wiling on the yard

Nah most of my friends went to the same collage (community) in Philly which had a lot of Black, Hispanic, some white etc.

HBCUs are overrated and used as some sort of "bragging rights" for some people, alot of c00ns & sellout nikkas also come from HBCUs as well, let's not act like everybody who went to HBCUs are suddenly junior Malcolm X's & Angela Davis's walking around as of today.

I regret not going to an HBCU moreso for the post grad experience. Everyone I know who went to an HBCU had great connections with alumni after graduating whether through friendships or getting professional hookups. People who weren’t even part of a frat or sorority getting jobs or great mentors just off the strength of being an alum. People moving from a completely new city and instantly finding a core group of friends just by connecting with other alums, even if they were meeting them for the first time

Based on what I’ve seen, all of that was much more prominent with HBCU grads compared to my experience graduating from a PWI and seeing others who did the same.

I do wish I attended an HBCU. Of course it’s not the end all be all of the Black experience, but it is a distinctive aspect that I wish I had of experienced. That being said, I loved my college years. Even though they were at a PWI, the Black folks hung out heavy.

Would have loved to attend Howard but when I saw that tuition plus room and board

I wish I did simply because there was no connection with college for me. Just a campus full of pale faced roadblocks i gotta to run through :manny:

A nikka went for a degree and specifically not the experience...i.couldn't give two shyts about it at the time, I just needed them papers to progress.

If I could do it all over again I'd get my school daze on for real :francis:

Nah because the school I went to all the black folk naturally self segregated. We had our own section at the student center where we played spades and had separate parties and everything. Our campus was a universe and we existed in a universe within that. I think it made the bond stronger for us that way.
