32. "Went to both HBCU & a PWI" In response to In response to 0 Fri Nov-13-15 05:33 AM by Mori
HBCU's outside of the top 5 (HU, Hampton, Spelman, Morehouse, FAMU) are just black community colleges. I learned a ton about black culture, which I appreciate. I experienced more classicism and colorism at the HBCU (light skinned, where ya parents went to school etc)
Left HBCU because of illogical over emphasis on black American social issues. I felt like I was missing out on many other elements of education. I could learn about social issues in a student group. But to spend every class talking about social issues was too much.
So I transferred to a PWI. I felt like I got a much better well rounded education in Business Writing, Global Literature, Communication, and the interaction with a global community.
I still loved the friendships from the HBCU, but many of my friends who didn't follow up with a PWI have not fared will in the job market unless they created their own business.
