There are a lot of things to be considered about this school. First off, if you think that coming to this school is going to be easy. Forget it. If you're looking for a school where they pamper and baby you and make sure everything you need is taken care of. Forget it. If you want the top notch of everything and that everything is of high quality. Forget it. At Howard you will be dealing with everything. The best and worst that life can throw at you. The administration is not well organized and you will have to run down everything. You need one thing done? well then be prepared to spend the whole day getting it done and jumping from place to place. You will have professors who can barely speak english and those who can't teach. BUT.. in the end you will be a better person. The people you meet here are the best you will meet anywhere. You will be able to deal with life better than anyone from other schools. This is a school where you grow up a lot and if you've been given everything then sorry you shouldn't come here. The education here is just as good as anywhere IF you are willing to put in the work. Students from this school has gone onto MIT, Caltech, UC Berkeley, etc. The best schools in the world, but those people but in the extra work. You need to have drive and motivation to make it here. The neighbourhood is not the best, but it's not the worst. It's getting better, slowly but surely. Washington, DC has a lot to do. Parties, museums, art galleries, etc. This is an exciting city and you can get around very easily because of the Metro rail and bus system.
