The only people that should attend this school are people that are very confident and self-aware. Howard University is a huge culture shock and is filled with plenty obstacles and distractions to digress you and your aspirations. With confidence and respect for yourself and others, you'll flourish as a person: personally and intellectually. This university, the students, the city, etc., will test you and your morals, intelligence, and patience. Be ready.

Ti'Erra

I would say that there is no specific type of person that is eligible to attend Howard University. Although it may be a Historically Black University, Howard's campus is open to everyone. In fact, this University has a significant number of students of many different ethnicities and cultures. However, I would say to any person entering this level of education, that knowing who you are is very important when attending any college. It is very easy to lose yourself in people, organizations, groups, and etc..., so its vital to have a complete understanding of yourself and your goals.

I believe that the kind of person that should attend Howard is a person who is looking to not only find their calling and make life long friends. Even though Howard is a HBCU what ive learned is that each and everyone that walks on this campus is different.

If a person is looking for school spirit, life long friends, a few struggles that will shape you as a person and a great education then Howard is the best choice.
