I am having a hard time in deciding which school to go to, I keep hearing good stuff from each and ecvery school but its hard to decide. My mom wants me to go to Standford because it's an "Ivy Legue" My cousin is a Hampton graduate and talks on and on about how Hampton is just da ****. My dad says Spelmen or Howard.... help..... What should I consider while making a difficult choice??? I am majoring in Law or Journalism by the way.......

Stanford is not an "Ivy League" school; in addition I'd go further and say that an HBCU education is invaluable. Spelman, Howard, and Hampton are all fine schools which will serve to prepare you for your career as well as give you life and leadership skills. Don't believe the Black Enterprise hype. It's all media influence. I'm not saying that your experience at Stanford will be horrible, but we do need to keep our brightest young minds at HBCU's.

Stanford is in Palo Alto, California. It's in the Bay Area, i think :? , but I know it's between San Francisco and San Jose. Congratulations, 614_beauty, and I hope your college experience will be rewarding! Smile

Hay this is a great post for me. I also got into Stanford and UCLA and a few other top name schools. But I had to realize that college is about much more than getting a degree, its about getting a complete education and that consist of learning about yourself, your people, and where you are going in life. Stanford can do most of that for you but I suggest a black education to all black people.And by the way Howard is the best school in the world. I suggest it strongly!!!!
