What kind of person should not attend Howard University?

Kristin

Someone who doesn't like living in the city and someone who doesn't like cold weather.

Reuben

A person that should not attend Howard University is a person that does not have ample self discipline and self control. The academics are very rigorous, and the social environment is a bit overwhelming which makes for a bad combination.

Gem

A type a person who should not attend Howard University is one that is not willing to be presistent about what he or she may want. For example, in order to get needed money or transfer credits and/or even get housing a person may have to go from one department to the other and back and forth. Other than that a person who doesn't like meeting fun people from all over the world and who isn't willing to just be free and express themselves and a person who is afraid to take risk should not attend HU.

Ruth

I wouldn't suggest this school for somebody who is not a survivor. Howard University is a beastly competitive school in which only the strong can survive. Not only may you face struggles academically and socially, but working with the administration may prove to be a hassle, as well. Anyone who isn't thorough and determined that their plans go accordingly should not apply to this school. Someone who easily gives up or can be broken by a few mishaps, would most likely fair better at a different university.

Chondria

Howard University is a research institution. If you are not ready for a rigorous course load or ready to push yourself to be the best that you can be, then you need not apply. Howard University is looking for the best and the brightest students to continue to uphold Howard's rich history.

Krystal

A person that needs a lot of guidance.

Norell

I don't think there any specific type of person that should attend this school because everyone is so diverse.

Ronesha

A student who is not willing to step outside of his or her comfort zone should not attend Howard University. Students who are not confident or career-ready should not attend this school. Also, if you are uncomfortable with being surrounded by social organizations, Howard is not the school for you. However, if you?re looking to network or jumpstart your career, this school is a great stepping stone.

Adetunji

All are welcome. Nobody should be exempted.

Tamara

Anybody that wants to have the experience of attending a historically black university. I think Howard is also a great place for anybody that wants to be in a city like setting but more at a small scale and not as busy as New York or Chicago.
