How small Spelman College is the best thing about it. It allows you to have a relationship with your professors and the other students. It also allows you to fouce more without the distractions.

Jaylynn

The best thing about my school is its emphasis on being able to engage in global issues and intellectual discussion while allowing students to explore themselves through various outlets. My school provides a liberal arts education in which students are required to explore not only the sciences, english, and math, but also fine arts, humanities, women and international studies, and social sciences. In this manner, we are able to discover profound knowledge and are able to voice ourselves in discussions that do not concern our main field of study.

Audrianna

The best thing about Spelman College is the community. Since our campus is so small it is very close knit. I have developed a great relationship with my teachers and the administrators here because of the size of our campus. I have been able to create a great bond with my peers as well because our classroom size is usually small compared to an average college or university . As a result of the small class size, the teachers are able to know each of their students individually, and I think that's one of the things that's unique.

I chose to surround myself in black excellence through education, prosperity, and self-determination. While PWI's are amazing and have awesome opportunities, I truly believe that an HBCU gives black students an experience unlike any other. For one to be virtually completely immersed in their own culture while simultaneously learning, is something that cannot be given by a PWI. Ultimately I made my parents understand that my desire to learn in an environment that promotes my inner self, to be taught by people who look like me, to learn alongside people who look like me, was invaluable and necessary.

Tierra

I feel that the best thing about my school is that they care about who we are and what we are going to become. I feel this way because they always have so many oppurtunites for us that will help us to become successful. They also help us appreciate and value who we are as African American women.

The best thing about my school is the fact that everyone is diverse but similar at the same time. A school where empowering women that come from different backgrounds and walks of life come to learn become educated and become leaders in the world. We are all working toward being successful and influential black women, doing things no one expects us to do.

Gertrude

The best thing about my school is the size. My school is small so the class sizes are smaller and it is easier to have a relationship with my teachers. Even if you wake up late for class you can still be on time because the classes are only a short distance away. With the school being small it is easier to make friends because you basicaly forced to talk to people with the class size being small.

We also have career fairs and events where graduate school recruiters and job recruiters are in attendance. There is also an amazing career center on campus in which the faculty are more than willing to help. Spelman caters to every student to ensure their success after college, whether that be graduate school, work, or even the military.

Victoria

I think the best thing about Spelman College is the sisterhood. Never in my life have I been around a group of Black women that were driven to be excellent in everything they do. This drive is not only individual as students work together in and out of the classroom to ensure that everyone gets the maximum out of every class. Women of Spelman also work together to improve the environment, as we are a service-based school determined to change the world with our experiences. My Spelman sisters inspire me everyday to be a better student and woman.

The best thing about this school is the positve aspects about learning from the African American experience. Also, on occasion you will gain friends that you can have for a life time.

Kevonna

The teaching style and content of the lectures are the best things about my school. We learn about things, especially historical events, from a different perspective that is not usually told during high school which somewhat complicates certain narratives. The teaching style is usually discussion based which allows others to share their views and opinions rather than just listening to the professor lecture.
