Well I'm happy for Morehouse but is that really a surprise? Each year Morehouse is #1 and Spelman #2. My school is #3 so I was soo happy bout that. But Morehouse is a really great school for our African American Princes..lol.

Yea, most of the schools on that list are HBCU's. But the reason for that is because Black Enterprise lists the top 50 schools for Black students, so thats probably why.

That's good but I would hope there are schools besides hbcus for black students.

I agree. But I thank Black Enterprises for the report, but at the same time I wonder would Time or Newsweek have the same list for us as Black Enterprises. I would think they would choose less hbcu schools.

Oh yeah. Black Enterprise lists more than just HBCU's for being the best schools for black students. And if Time or Newsweek printed a list like that I'm pretty sure the only black schools on there would be Spelman and Morehouse.

i somewhat agree with the list but i have just one little question.... :arrow: why are Duke and Harvard even on the list when they are two of the HARDEST schools for black ppl to get into...yea..they might be all prestige...but dont you think they should add schools with more than 5% of black people if its supposed to be good for them :?: :!: :?:

18 HBCUs out of 50 is not a majority by any measure. In addition, there are 17 PWIs listed I do not consider “reaches” for me. Furthermore, the list consists of schools with a minimum of 3% African American students or nationally recognized. Other criterions used were: 5- year graduation rates, academics, social environment, and support systems in place for minority students. Personally, I would struggle and scrub toilets to met Morehouse, Tuskegee, Howard, or Hampton’s tuition before I would EVER take a free ride to a PWI. Attending a HBCU is about coming to grips as to who I am, along with learning to filter the world through “colored” lenses. A PWI cannot teach me to navigate, or fit in the corporate world when needed, but ALL 105 of the HBCUs can. I prefer professors who have “BTDT” to mentor and show me the way--not some white person scared to walk down the same side of the street as me. White is not always right.
