HBCU or Ivy?

I've always wanted to go to Howard University because I have family in DC, I love the atmosphere, and I basically believe the school is top notch. I've been accepted and I've received a nice financial aid packet. However, I was just recently accepted into a prestigious (white) university that my peers and educators expect me to attend because of the name. Certain individuals feel that I would be making the wrong choice if I choose the HBCU while others feel the opposite. Most tell me to follow my heart but I still don't know which is the right choice. I need to know what someone else would do if they were in my situation. What would matter the most? If you had the opportunity to go to an "Ivy" type school, could/would you choose the HBCU or the Ivy? How would you choose? Signed Need To Choose
