Additional bonuses of living in D.C include the famous architecture, the many free events that are thrown, and also the unlimited amount of free museums that they have.

Also, these chances are being offered to African-American students who not only deserve these experiences, but work diligently to make their future a better one for themselves. For example, the School of Business establishes career fairs, CPD's (Center for Personal Development) and other events alongside huge, well-known companies such as Chrysler, Johnson & Johnson, PricewaterhouseCoopers and more. At the end of the day, Howard University provides the tools that we need to become an asset and to achieve our goals.

I love that my school is an Historicall Black College or University and is still more culturally open and diverse than my predominantly white high school. Our school has students from many countries around the world and it is exciting to be a part of the cultural salad. I also enjoy the way teachers and students are able to interact like adults. The classrooms often have open and deep conversations that draw from so many different perspectives. There is an openness to be oneself and respect for those who do not conform to certain political, social, and cultural molds.
