Preppy Girls at Howard University?

I am applying to Howard University this fall; Early Action! Whew! I am really, really preppy. I talk proper, i wear hollister, american eagle yada yada yada. I was wondering, considering that HU is a historically black college, how would I fit in? Are there other girls who are similar to me there?

Black people have many different shades personalities and ways of life. Just because Howard is an HBCU does not mean everyone is the same because all black people contrary to popular belief are not the same. Im sure at Howard there will be plenty of people whom you can relate too just dont forget college is also about meeting new and different people .

I did not attend Howard University. However, I graduated from an HBCU. From personal experience, there is lots of diversity within the black race. You will find black people that listen to smooth jazz, pop, rock, heavy metal, r & b, rap, etc. You will find black people that dress preppy, urban, business professional, etc. As far as talking proper, most serious college students will use correct English on a regular basis. HU has a reputation for having classy brothers and sisters. Therefore, I am confident you will fit in at Howard University. Best wishes with your future endeavors.

L0l @ "i talk proper" ..like students at HBCUs are chandelier-swinging monkeys who communicate thru grunts or something. english is english.. if you speak it, chances are you'll meet someone who does too at an institute of higher education. and anybody who's in college and still focusing on what people are wearing- probably shouldn't even be there. be yourself, regardless.
