What kind of person should not attend Spelman College?

Kara

People who are lazy, closed-minded, or ambitionless, should not attend Spelman. Also, people that are not community oriented, should not attend.

Damaria

Do not attend Spelman College if you are not prepared to fit outside the mold of a "Spelman Woman". That may sound strange, but part of the journey in college is finding out who you really are. You can't allow yourself to be concerned with the fact that you may not be exactly what the dean says you should be. Everyone has their own path and their own timing. Strive to be your own woman, and when you reach that point, who can really tell you if you're a "Spelman Woman" or not?

Ca'Teama

Students who just want to go to class and pass a class without understanding the meaning of everything.

Keira

Students who aren't looking for a close knit family type environment shouldn't attend Spelman. Spelman is a small campus with small class sizes so it is as if everyone knows everyone on campus.

Camille

Someone should not attend Spelman if they arent serious about getting their degree. Spelman above all puts academics as their number one priority. It is okay to go out and have fun, but at the end of the day if you are not getting your work done, no one will take you seriously. You also shouldnt attend this school if you arent ready to embrace the Spelman sisterhood, because it runs deep at this college. Not embracing the Spelman sisterhood, would greatly diminish your experince at Spelman.

A person who is not dedicated to working hard should not attend. A person who is not goal oriented and is easily influenced by environmental factors should not attend this school.

Spelman College is not for everyone. This school is not for someone who does not want to grow personally, socially, professionally, or academically. This school is not for someone who does not want to get out fo their comfort zone in order to succeed. This school is not for someone who does not have an open mind . This school is not for someone who does not want to work hard for all of their rewards.

Khyra

Someone who is not open-minded should not attend Spelman College. Spelman is a campus filled with endless opportunity, so someone looking to avoid growth and opportunities should definately steer clear of Spelman!

ASHNI

A person who is lazy, who perfers co-ed, doest enjoys HBCU's majority African Americans, and a small campus

najma

I don't believe any person shouldn't attend Spelman, it is a wonderful institution and I believe anyone who is given the opportunity should take full advantage and attend. Besides it being an all female school, I would say clearly males cannot attend, but Morehouse is always right next door.

Ayanna

A person who does not want to be in a intellectual community and be challenged academically should not attend my school.

Alasia

A student who is not driven, focused, community service oriented, or planning on being the change the world needs to see should not attend this school. You must be open- minded and believe that you are a powerful woman who knows she deserves a place in this male dominated world. If you are not big on sisterhood, bettering the community around you, tradition, or showing that you can be a woman and still be powerful/intellegent yet graceful and humble you should not attend this school.

Michaela

A type of person that shouldn't attend Spelman College is a person that is not hardworking, does not enjoy giving back and serving the community, to be prepared to become a leader, and to build long lasting relationships between peers and faculty.

Darian

A person who is weak minded or has no opinion. A person who does not keep up with recent news. A person who can not afford it, it is a very expensive school.

Crysenith

You should not come to this school if: you are not focused on learning, if you do not desire to be engaged in varied actitivities, if you are lazy or not willing to work hard, if you are not responsible, if you do not care to succeed and if you do not want the opportunity to change the world.

Destiny

The type of person that shouldn't attend this school is a closed-minded individual because although it is a black liberal arts college for women it is very diverse. Also, a lazy person should not attend this school because you have to work hard to be successful here. A person who is not interested in making a positive social change or giving back to the community should not attend this school because these are Spelman's main objectives.

Nicole

Someone who is not open minded, you meet all sorts of people at this school. People who are from different countries and people who are of a variety of different races. Someone who doesn't want to go to an all girl school, it may be an all girl school but there is an all boy school next to it and there are a lot of programs that we all do together.

Sade

Spelman is a private, all-female, and predominantly African American college with rich traditions. In addition, it has a reputation for high levels of commitments to academics and service. I think that any young woman can attend Spelman as long as she is prepared to prevail despite the rigorous curriculum and possible gender and race differences constructed by society all while emboding the mental characteristics of a free-thinking Spelman woman.
