Howard University Top Questions

The mice and pigeons in the city

I mostly complain about the lack of help from the Administrative Authorities at my school.

The thing I consider the worst at my school is the financial aid department. Sometimes faxed information is not processed in a timely manner. At other times, grants are not applied to the account or they are removed without notice. Another thing that has happened is that the staff might not answer the office phones or you are taken in a complete circle before your question is answered.

The worst thing about Howard is the social aspect of the school, to achieve here will not be just based on your grades but it will be how many "processes" you went through, how many clubs or organizations you are apart of and how many you have gotten excepted into. It is easier said than done because it semms that once you get into certain organizatinos your freshman year, you have the direct pull to get in to all the other you want to get into. Thus making it hard for new people to achieve.

The worst thing about my school is the fact that there are an abundance of rats on the campus. It is disgusting and ruins my appetite sometimes.

As a student at a school where tuition is $30,000 , I sometimes wonder where the money is going. Services at Howard can often seem mediocre for the financial investment and prestigous name the university carries. The worst thing about Howard University is that it lacks the professionalism, business tchnique, financial security and stability of many other prestigious universities within the country. The day to day struggles of this HBCU are evident in the day to day life of a Howard student in the classroom, residence life, student union, and last but not least the admistrative and counseling services.

There is not a lot of finacnial support available to suffeciently support the students that attend. A number of people have had to leave because they couldn't afford it, which always comes as a huge disapointmnet.

The administration at Howard can be very unhelpful when it come to anything. When you need to get something accomplished you have to be patient yet assertive when dealing with the administration.

The worst thing about my school is the neglect towards students when it comes to finding ways to pay for college. The financial aid office is ran by individuals that do not care if students get purged because they cannot find ways to pay for college. We are the future alumni that are going to graduate and go out in to the world representing this college and we have no financial backup to help us along the way.

I feel like the worst thing about my school is the administration. Often times people have problems with thier finanical aid, housing assignments, registering for classes, credit transfers, just about everything that has to deal with administrative business are huge problems at Howard.
