HBCUs are on their way out :sadcam:

[Idaeo]

yeah I know there have been tons of articles saying this, but I just saw it for my own eyes.

I'm on biz travel near Hampton University, my alma mater, so I decided to drop in and talk to one of my old professors.

one of the main parking lots, we used to call Africa because it was so damn far, was completely empty

I then looked up the current enrollment...around 4300

The enrollment when I graduated in 2006 was 6300

I still believe HBCUs are necessary in America, especially in today's climate. Why is that we're turning our backs on the greatest source of black doctors, nurses, and engineers?

Been knowing this. It's basically a party without the funding of PWI's

Because we're not validated unless we're cosigned by the establishment.... like 80% of the so called militants on this site..... most of the ones hollering group economics probably attend PWIs..... real talk

Did you go to a HBCU?

They'll be fine, stop your worrying.

As someone who comes from a family where the majority of college graduates (including myself) went to a HBCU this is sad as hell

And you post this to prove what? How you take an isolated incident like this to say all hbcu's are party schools like all colleges don't have parties and concerts

Nah. I was gonna go to HU but they was funny with the money

an isolated incident

Intellectually dishonest. Let's suspend reality brehs.

Morris Brown was trash. I went there the last year before they lost their accreditation. After that I went to a hood ass 2 year school that costs a tenth of what MB cost and had much nicer facilities. shyt was sad as fukk.

 

[Hi!]

I would of went to one if they didn't give me a damn acceptance letter a week before classes started

Yes isolated incident. I didn't know Drake or any entertainer shows up to hbcu's on a regular basis and causes a scene like this...

Man idk about others but I went to NSU and sad to say it's almost like a racket. My freshman year (2004) tuition was $3500 for a year. I was on a presidential scholarship cuz of my grades and basically had a full ride...only had to pay $500 out of pocket a year so I went 2 years...got caught up in all the partying, chicks, etc, ended up losing the scholarship cuz I had to maintain a 3.5 and ended sophomore year with a 3.1. Took some time off went back to register in 08 and tuition jumped to $4800 a semester that's like 130% increase. I would hate to see what it is now

nikkas stealing money.
