PWIs Vs HBCU

One of the groups in my freshman seminar class gave a presentation about the differences between PWIs and HBCUs. This was one of the more interesting presentations to me because this was the decision I had to make before deciding to come to Howard. I've attended predominately white schools all of my life, so to me, it was really important to come to Howard for undergrad. One of the girls in the group made a good point that many undergrads at Howard and other HBCUs don't wish to attend an HBCU for grad school, as if attending an HBCU is a fun experience but in order to justify attending one, one must attend a white grad school. For med school, I do intend to go to a white school back home in Florida, but not for the reasons the group brought up. It simply would be cheaper for me to do so and after spending a large amount of money on Howard for undergrad, it would be nice to save money.
