Rate this HBCU Day 31: Winston-Salem State University

[AggiePride336.]

WSSU will always hold a special place in my heart since I’m from the city.

When I was in HS, to work on my game. I used to go up to WSSU and run games with the college kids. One year I was even on an intramural team and them niccas had no idea I didn’t go to the school

Also, it gave me the opportunity for play against some Wake Forest cats as they would come out to ball sometimes too

Same. I could never find it in my heart to talk bad about them cause I grew up around them…around the university.

Breh your post in here and the JCSU thread got me going back thinking about my little cousin at Livingstone. I went to her graduation and drove on the campus the first time. I was underwhelmed, then I wasn’t impressed with the graduation service at all

JCSU is horrible but at least they give off the impression of a university if you squint hard enough. livingstone is a straight up dump. everyone at the school is living in hard mode.

Campus life was great. Coming from nearly an all white school, I wanted to be around my people so I chose a HBCU. Made plenty of friends on campus. I was a compsci major and I felt like my professors genuinely cared about my education. I do remember my time school both the football and basketball teams did well in the CIAA.

Was the experience culture shock for you? I know it sounds weird but it's a few people that go from all white high schools to now being around your own people. That's not always an easy transition
