If you just want to hang out with a bunch of black kids and go to low quality classes taught by lower quality teachers then this is the place to be. If you hope to ever be gainfully employed then you should go to a school that has white kids and asian kids and professors that actually know their fields. If you are planning on living on welfare, foodstamps, and subsidized housing in the projects then you found the right place!

I have no idea about the rest of schools.
I got in the nursing school in summer 2011. We were about 95 students, but 45 of them failed and withdraw from the course. Some students were 4.0 students the one who failed in summer time. The students were very smart, but they couldn't make it because of pathophysiology professor. She doesn?t know how to teach the course at all.
They pushed us to take pathophsiology and health assessment at the same time on summer in 4 weeks session. It was not our choice to take that class in short period of time. It was not even accelerated program. The teacher who thought pathophysiology was heartless. The school of nursing doesn't even intervene when lots of people failed that class. Lots of students complain but nobody give them an answer. Surprisingly, in this year, the same professor will teach that course. Isn?t it weird?
When we took maternity, I had one professor who made our life miserable. This professor likes to yell and insult student which made me like to run away from that school. It was very stressful moment for me to pass all these hard time.
You know, I Just need education but not hatred, stress, and misery.
60% of professors are arrogant, mean, lazy, and heartless. They don't know how to teach...They just read everything from the power point. I swear..I am not lying to you. I am very disappointed of this school:-(:-(:-(
I don't believe that this school prepares me for NECLEX...If I could do it all over again, I rather go to different school :-(:-(
The reasons that I am writing this because I just want to warn everybody who wants to go to Howard University School of Nursing.
When you go to different places (administration office) some people look at you like why you here, I hate to see you here. Don?t expect good manner from these people. If you have any problem correlated to administration office, they will make you cry like you have never been cry before.
Throughout one year experience I only like couple of professors?A few of them are in my mind which I will never forget them the rest of my life.
Most of my experience is not good at Howard?If write everything, I can write a book.
Warning!!!!! Don?t go to this school!!!!!!!!!!!!

D.C. like any other city has its good and bad parts and Howard is in an O.K. area its not as ghetto as people make it out to be unless your a little rich kid. GO HU!

I just completed my first year here, and I've decided to move on -- for many reasons.

I think its important to visit Howard, or any other college you are interested in, and really be honest with yourself about what it is that you want from a college experience. The visit is extremely important. It should even be done more than once, if possible. The visit will allow you to see if Howard is what you want. If you have a good eye, and your intuition says yes, and you can truly picture yourself attending Howard, then Howard is for you.

The mistake I made, was that I visited Howard one time, and I was passive. I was excited about attending the "Mecca", and I convinced myself, when I visited, that even though I instantly disliked the feel I had on campus, that I would grow to appreciate what I did not like and experience would turn out great. I attended Howard with an open mind.

The things I personally dislike about Howard is that, in my opinion, the social life far outweighs the academics. As others have commented, Howard is big on networking, fun, and fashion, but the academics suffer to a certain extent. If you are a social and outgoing you will love the experience at Howard. However, it is important to balance social life with studies.

As an introverted, hard-working, confident student, I felt overwhelmed by Howard's overly social scene. I found, after being here for a year's time, that a college which somehow accommodates solitude and optional quiet time is what I not only wanted, but needed.

If you want to make tons of new friends, be apart of the social HBCU family, are ok with alot of interaction and less quiet time on campus, then by all means, Howard is great.

But if you much rather appreciate a beautiful, predominantly quiet laid back campus with trees and grass and beautiful surroundings that you can indulge in when you want "you" time AND the OPTION to socialize if you feel, then I would recommend looking into other colleges. That is what I am doing at this moment. Thu, 19 May 2011 02:17:08 GMT http://www.studentsreview.com/DC/HU_comments.html
