I attend Alabama A&M University. The A&M part stands for Agricultural and Mechanical and A&T stands for Agricultural and Technology. My school specializes in Agricultural and Mechanical with other diciplines as well.
I had a choice to either go to Morgan State, Bethune Cookman, FAMU, Hampton, Howard, AAMU, or Clark Atlanta University. I visited all of the schools and narrowed it down to CAU, Hampton, Howard.AAMU wasn't even in top three. But when I visited AAMU, which was the last visit. The campus was so beautiful. It looked better than all the HBCU's I just listed as far as appearance goes. (Not trying to hate yall go see for ya self) But anyway the southern hospitality was extreme. Everyone treated me like I was family. And even though I received good vibes from CAU, it was nothing like AAMU. And plus they offered me a partial scholly. I wouldn't change my school for nothing and I would compare it to any school out there..... even the white ones LOL GOOOOOOOOOOOO BULLDOGS!!!!!!!!!!!

i attend alabama state university. i had got accepted into spelmen, clark atlanta, and north carolina a&t. i didnt want to attend clark atlanta or spelman bc they 10 minutes from my house. north carolina a&t was to far for me so i decided to go to alabama state bc thats only 2 hours from atlanta. i also fell in love with the band when they came for the honda battle of the bands. another reason i pick alabama state is bc their tution is reasonable.
Out of all the schools you listed up there, Spelman is definately the smallest. With only a little over 2000 students, if smaller classes sizes is what you're looking for you will find it here for sure. The thing that really made me want to come to Spelman was the atmosphere I witnessed when I came to visit. The campus is beautiful, they really keep it up well. And the girls didn't look like they were all ridin on a high horse, of course there are some who are stuck up but that's everywhere.
The liberal arts label on Spelman means they focus on the liberal arts such as English and the social sciences. However I saw that you wanted to be a doctor/dentist and Spelman is number two behind Xavier in getting african american females into med school. Thas my two cents, hope I was helpful.
