Presentation on PWI's & HBCU's

Today’s group really did it. I enjoyed what they talked about and it was something that I could really relate too. The group talked about the comparison of Historically black colleges and university to that of predominantly white institutions. I could relate to a lot that was being said in the presentation because for one, I am a student at a Historically black university and I plan on going to a predominantly white institution for graduate school. In the presentation they talked about the reasoning why many of the people at historically black colleges plan on going to predominantly white schools because they feel as though it will balance out there resumes. It will show that they are able to prosper in many different types of environments. I feel the same way. I’m attending Howard University coming from a predominantly white school in Williamstown, NJ by way of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The time spent in the majority white school in jersey made me want to go a Historically Black college or university But afterwards I do plan on going to a predominantly white school because I feel as thought it will make things easier for me when it comes time to look for a job. It’s not to say that I don’t feel a education at a historically black college or university will suffice but I feel as though in the “white” working world it will make things better for me and I will always have love for Howard University though.
