Howard University Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about Howard University? Why?

Kiara

The worst thing about my school is the realtionship between the students and the faculty. When it comes to financial aid, forms get lost all the time and you may not realize it until they send you a letter with a purge date stamped on it. On this campus it is not uncommon to hear horror stories of the Administration Building. This building house the financial aid office and academic recording. Transcripts are misplaced, charges are inaccurate, and the staff is rude. It is unfortunate that this happens to students as it would be better to be courteous.

The administration building because at times they seem very unorganized.

Corrine

In all honesty, the worst thing about Howard University is the administration. Students are unable to receive the help they deserve without getting the run-around, encountering unncecessary negative attitudes, or being made to feel at fault for not knowing certain things. The administration's job is to provide students with the help they need to ensure a smooth matriculation through the university. The matriculation is all but smooth. The administration makes things so much more difficult than they have to be and we, the students, have to suffer. Customer service is not a priority here.

Whitnie

The worst thing at my school, i would have to say is the weather. We are located in Washington, DC; which is the eastern coast, and it's very cold. Being born and raised in the Northern coast of California, we do not experience cold winters or hot summers.

The worst part of Howard University is the adminitration and the way finanical aid and student acccounts is handled. The adminitration, finanical aid, and student accounts are the worse at Howard because many documents get lost, and nomorous students have problems and issues within the financial and student accounts departments.

The worst thing about Howard University is the administration and financial aid offices. Dealing with the workers in these offices can be very difficult. Majority of the students take issue with them. They tend to be rude to students, unorganized, and unhelpful. However, the new president of the school has been asking for feedback from students and is working with the administration and financial aid offices to better serve us. I think that a training course that teaches hospitality skills is greatly needed for the employees.

The worst thing about Howard are the facilities. I believe that as one of the top Historically Black Colleges and Universities, there should be better auditoriums, labs, and equipment for students and faculty.
