Hi I'm just a kid wonderin about HBCU's well I'm 16, but that's besides the point.... anywayz... I don't know about Howard or Spelman, or any schools in Cali. My dad would really want me to go to a California school, but i have a feeling i might be stuck with the asians or caucasians (no offense) and all my life i've lived in a city where the population of blacks is so low that if you see a black person down the street, you have to say 'hi' because it's so rare anywayz my dad says that Howard used to be the black harvard and it's full of nigerians, i'm nigerian btw but born here, and spelman is in georgia where it's in the south, but you know what, i don't know..right now i'm just rambling I might go to howard this summer and check it out before my senior year, but give me some input on Howard and Spelman, how is it there? What's a typical day? Is it a small college where u recognize faces, or semi huge college where u see different people. Thanks a lot!
