Howard University Top Questions

I wish I had known how hard it is to finance college. As a student that is barely making ends meet due to the price of tuition, and low financial aid awards, I find that it is easy to become financially overwhelmed and burdened due to the sticker price of a private university such as Howard. I wish that someone would have forced and pressed the importance of finding scholarships and grants so that the majority of financial obligations could be taken care of, and so that as a student I would better be able to focus on my schooling.

Before I cam eto this school I wish I had known that as a chemistry major it was not wise to try and work while at the same time on a very rigorous class schedule. I wish I has known just how hard the curriculum is for a chemistry major and how much it takes to stay on task.

I wish I had known that so many freshman would come into the year with credits already.

i wish i had known what i really wanted to do in life because in recently switched majors and reliazed that i mssed out on alot of bonding and friends ships i could have made with people my freshmen because the program i wanted to be in was a group -focused program. i have friends who went through and claim that they learned so much and it made me feel empty because i know i can not go back and participate with them.

Howard politics aka it's all about who you know and not what you know

I wish I knew that I would have to have patience with myself, other people, and with the school itself.

I wish I had know how much of the social environment is dictated by different organizations. Everything that happens on campus is some how influenced by an organization. Its all about who you know on the yard. It is very much a bubble.
