Why Enrollment Is Increasing At HBCUs

[Dameon Farrow]

Good news. Hey @Ziggiy am I still a cac if I find this to be a good thing? Still a cac if I personally for the past ten years have gone out of my way to help get these numbers up by talking kids out of going to pwi's?

Or is it only when I post shyt you don't like? Hoe ass hypermilitants.

Howard is definitely getting my LS application.
What would be even better news would be an uptick in HBCU enrollment alongside an uptick in Black college application, acceptance, and enrollment in general.
They could work in more programs like Xavier of Louisiana have, where they bridge the gaps between high school and college work, especially for students from poorer or disadvantaged backgrounds and schools.

this is good considering there has been a decrease in college enrollment nationally....

Been thinking about returning to Howard for grad school myself.

Might have to ride this uptick and dive in

But it's hard to give this beach life up

Same idea breh.

That's right
The incoming freshman class at the school I went to is the largest ever.

The number of transfer students also has gone way up.

Lol every year at most HBCUs the freshmen class is the largest ever.

I hate that term "safe spaces".......that is pure p*ssy juice terminlogy...please stop using that. Grown adults ....and at 18 you are grown don't need to be coddled in safe spaces. Instead, nurturing talents, advancing skills, and awakening internal fire is more mature and less crybaby language.

Otherwise that's great

Not my school. Freshman enrollment was decreasing for sometime until last year. This year is even larger. We also had a record number of applicants

Exactly. HBCUS stay building new freshmen dodorms. Pretty much get a big boom in revenue every yr and then half the kids transfer or drop out. My freshmen class was the largest at the time and only a third of us graduated. And every yr after mine was a "record" freshmen class.

A second phase of the black college/black awareness Renaissance perhaps?
