Howard University Top Questions

The worst thing about Howard University would have to be the surrounding area. Washington D.C has a nice atmosphere, but unfortunately the negativity surround the university is what everyone sees. The poverty and drugs and local businesses need to be handled with.

The worst thing about my school would have to be the financial aid office. They always seem to be unsensitive to your financial aid concerns or problems. Their main goal is soley to do their job, and not to help any student with their issues.

The worst thing about Howard to me would be the cafeteria food. I think it is essential for college students to eat well and healthy, and the cafeteria just does not offer that all the time.

The housing selection or lack there of I should say.

I consider the President's Board of Trustees to be the worst aspect of our school. For example, I am TV Production major and John H. Johnson gave the School of Communications 4 million dollars. We, communication students, have seen no changes in our school nor the equipment and facilities housed within it. Of course the students make due with what we have, but the mismanagement of funds directly affects the students and their survival in the professional world of their chosen field.

The maintenance and customer service is pretty bad. The gym is inadequate.

The dorms. You pay a sizeable amount of money for crap most of the time. I havent been in one room yet that didnt have a major problem with it.ie: heat not working, outlets not working, broken furniture etc.

The ADMINISTRATION!!!!

The worst part about our school is the on-campus housing because it is not very nice and we do not have 24 hour visitation.

The worst thing about Howard is that it drives you to want to be involved in something. Because of this, it is easy to put too much onto your plate. You need to be able to develop really good time management skills in order to really be successful here. Otherwise, it will be all to easy to lose yourself in all of your extra-curriculars.
