Over the years I've been spending time at a mostly white school, I have been hearing all sorts of stereo typoes about HBCUs, I knew that they werte wrong but after a while you start to think if they are right. When I came to howard I learned that most of the stereotypes about HBCUs were wrong. The presentation that was done about the HBCUs vs PWIs, was on point to me. Many of the people, white or black, who attend PWI look down upon HBCUs saying that our academics are weak and that we have no diversity. They were all wrong Howard is a fine academic establishment filled with some of the worlds brightest minds, and Howard is very diverse we have students from all parts of the United states and all over the world. One thing thats a testiment to that is that the Howard University Carribean Student Association or HUCSA is the biggest group on campus. The presentation was well done and it covered all of the negative stigmas alot of the people who dont go to HBCUs think aobut HBCUs. This was my favorite project out of all of the Projects that were done in out area.
