I love my HBCU. In every department I have had the opportunity to work with, someone is always ready to help you do better. Building connections is key, but if you do the experience is great, and you can truly get anywhere from here.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
1) Make sure to turn in all your paperwork early. Try to get your stuff together before the rush, when everyone will be in the financial aid, and bursars office.
2) If you plan to stay on campus make sure to get to know your CA. They are there to help you, but sometimes you need to make the first effort.
3) Plan to be involved, make sure you have your academics together your first semester, but make sure to look at some of the organizations on campus. There is bound to be something that interests you.
4) If you are from out of state there is a representative just for you, who is suppose to help you with scholarships, and simple things to make your first year a little easier.
5) There is a freshman academy that will allow you to explore the campus and all it has to offer, along with alternative trips for breaks that you could become a part of to get to know your incoming class better.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Depending on your major, however each major is designed for you to actually leave knowing something, so don't just try to get through with mediocre work.
