DO NOT COME TO THIS UNIVERSITY!! IT IS A SHAM!! I AM TRANSFERRING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

I only came here because of a scholarship—worst decision of my life. This is the worst school in America, I am convinced. The school is falling apart, the technology is in the stone age, and 90% of professors are simply incompetent. I feel EXTREMELY sorry for people who are actually paying 50k to come to this school. Are you kidding me? You should not come to Howard simply for the legacy or social life. You can get the same damn thing at a PWI's Black Student Union.

Coming here will not feel like the regular college experience. You won't be in a real world environment. In this country you will most likely not be working with an 100% black population. It's just not real life.

There's just something about Howard that doesn't feel like other colleges I have visited. I think it can be summed to not having adequate resources.

We have barely any dining halls (only 2, with very limited hours), we have no on campus food places (only a handful that are quite a bit away), we have no adequate 24 hour study spaces (yeah, the fact that the only 24 hour library is called "Club Founders"…). We don't have resources or good curriculum. My friends at PWI's have like 24 hour access to computer labs filled with the latest Macs and software. They do hands on training and learning. (I am one year in journalism student and have not even touched editing software in my courses)

To be completely honest, the only reason Howard is still here is because great kids come here. Without the smart intelligent people here, this school would be NOTHING.

Also why is the infrastructure crumbling? What are the students paying for? They are not paying for amenities or competent staff, so where is it going?

If this place were to actually be audited (because obviously they are paying someone off) this place would be SHUT DOWN.

DO NOT COME TO THIS FUCKING AWFUL, INCOMPETENT, CRUMBLING, RACIST, GHETTO, DISGUSTING, SMALL, UGLY SCHOOL JUST BECAUSE OF THE HISTORY—THIS PLACE FUCKING FUCKING SUCKS I WOULD NEVER EVER FUCKING TELL ANYONE TO GO HERE. AND IF YOU ARE HERE NOW

GET THE FUUUUUUUCK OUT OF THIS PLACE.

I HATE THIS FUCKING SCHOOL

DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A SCHOLARSHIP.

commentAre you an out of state student? Is it easy to make friends and create a network?
commentI agree with this review, but just have to say that even if you’re offered a scholarship to this horrible fake school, don’t accept it because Howard isn’t worth your time. Howard sucks, as everyone can see.
questionThis student is going to be extremely successful in his life. All the work he has done so far will get him some book me appointments, and if he can nail these appointments, there's no doubt that he'll be the best.
