Howard University Top Questions

What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about Howard University?

Tilesha

I always brag about how all of my professors are professionals in their fields. Every journalism teacher that I have had has had at least 20 years of experience as either a broadcast or print journalist. They have also occupied senior positions as well and have a lot to offer students training for these same positions post graduation. I love the quality of education that I receive here, and I always brag to my family and friends about how much I am learning.

Raymonda

The sense of community that I've found at Howard among fellow students and professors. There is a dynamic Christian community here and the professors are some of the most kind, engaging and personable in the nation I'm sure.

Caprese

That it is a historically Black college! The fact that my college is known nation wide and how proud I am to walk the halls of so many legends before me!

Shamona

When I brag about my school, I always tell my friends about Howard being "the real HU" because we have a rival with Hampton university because they claim to be "the real HU", but they were called Hampton Institute before they changed it to a university. Meanwhile, Howard was always called Howard University. I also brag about Howard being the "black Harvard" and about our homecoming every year. Our homecoming is the biggest event that happens throughout the school year, and people from all states come just to get a taste of the the Howard experience.
