5 Things I Loved About Attending an HBCU for Grad School
- I loved being surrounded by beautiful black women. Every day while walking on Hampton’s campus I saw beautiful Black Queens learning, laughing and living.
- The small student-teacher ratio prevented me from falling behind in the curriculum. It created a setting where I couldn’t avoid a professor after performing badly on an exam. That is why I’m a Hampton Grad today.
- Homecoming at an HBCU is amazing! The food vendors, the day parties, the music and the good vibes from all the alumni make it memorable.
- Hampton’s Friday afternoon turn-ups (aka “12-2!”) was something I enjoyed weekly. Permission to party on campus? Sign me up!
- Most of all I loved being surrounded by black history while making black history.
