ATTENTION:

PLEASE DO NOT GO TO THIS SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the Fall of 2004, I came in as a freshman to Howard. Even though I knew about the ROUGH neighborhood since I'm from the Baltimore area, I still was surprised by it: homeless ppl walking up to you on GA Ave trash, liquor bottles, debris everywhere etc- picture the "roughest" part of any major city

I had never lived in the city so this was all a big shock to me.

I came to Howard expecting a FULL tuition & fees scholarship from CEACS (Coll of Engr) so I could study civil engineering. Within my first week, I was notified by CEACS that somehow my name was MISSING from the list of scholarship recipients & that I would have to wait for them to find some money or borrow $ from another source within the university. I was SHOCKED to say the less!!!!

Here, I came to THIS school because I was given a scholarship & then when I get there THEY DON'T HAVE IT!!!

Even though I had a huge run around from one building to another during my 1st week about this scholarship situation that I didn't even have a chance to enjoy the "Orientation" activities at Crampton Auditorium with all of the other freshman.

Nonetheless, I decided to stay because this WAS the school that I "wanted" to go to most of senior yr in high school… therefore, I switched to the School of B (Business) since that was the strongest program on the whole campus.

THE ONLY "GOOD THING": SCHOOL OF B

Even though the School of B was very organized, had good teachers for Business Orientation, had corporate reps at the bldg every week, placed us in teams for group projects, & to be "adopted" by a Fortune 500 company…

IT STILL WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH:

  • ADMINISTRATION PROBLEMS!!!!!!!
  • (they'll lose you'll stuff, send you from 1 line to another, do things the old & long way, no one knows what they're doing, rude, don't care about you)
  • project building dorm- Drew Hall
  • (no AC, old rundown bldg, blends in w/ the slum neighborhood, dirty communal bathrooms, HOT & STICKY, etc)
  • unsafe neighborhood
  • (feel like a "prisoner"- restricted to only the campus since it's in the hood)
  • math teacher(Sitarman- College Algebra II) who didn't speak english & struggled to talk over the loud fans so I had to go to math tutoring everyday to do my work & teach myself the work
  • math teacher (Bayne- Applied Calculus) who doesn't care for students:
  • on the 1st day he said:
    What, ya'll couldn't get switched out of my class? Didn't ya'll hear about me? Well, this class has about…45 ppl about 2-3 will have As, 3-6 Bs, 15 Cs, & the rest Ds & Fs
  • computer system (Internet) ALWAYS down
  • OLD run down facilities, esp the library
  • none of the copiers work, old books & copmuters
  • BAD cafeteria food
  • (you'll be sick (constapation, diarrhea) every other day: chicken sausage?)
  • ALL they talk about is
  • I'm tired of hearing about the "legacy" & it's past

    What is it doing today?

    "GOOD THINGS" ABOUT THE SCHOOL:

  • VERY SOCIAL
  • lots of ppl from across the country & world lots of off-campus parties, but don't go to too many & flunk out 1st semester (it has happened)
  • alot of "opportunties" in DC area (jobs,concerts, etc)
  • However, because of all the problems at HU, I'm now at UMBC (a tech school) only 30 mins from my home outside of Baltimore & I'm satisfied (new dorms w/ AC, good food, new buildings,diveristy- Asians, Whites, Indians, Blacks, Latinos)…much better than HU

    BE SMART, JUST SAY NO
