I was offered a full ride at Hampton and a guy from the alumni association practically begged me to come there saying that the Hampton experience was like no other. However, I chose to go to Howard, which only gave me tuition and fees, because Howard's legacy is priceless. Howard is recognized by both whites and blacks as one of the leading universities for educating blacks. To be honest, not that many whites in Alabama have heard of Hampton. Both are good schools and to me no ranking by any magazine can state which one is better than the other. If I were a pre-med, pre-law, or a business major I would definitely choose Howard over Hampton. It's about choosing the school that will help you in the long run. Unless you plan on going pro in football, I fail to see how Hampton beating Howard makes Hampton a better school. Like I said it's all about choosing the school that works for you.
whoa whoa..you were offered a full ride @ hampton and you went to howard??? wow. if hampton gave me a full ride, i surely would have went there. but i guess money isnt a issue for some people. howard gave me a full ride, that was the major reason why i went there
