    Here's a hint for those of you who are looking for housing: since Howard doesn't have it's act together, go to other colleges/universities nearby and check out *their* off campus listings. That's what I did. Sometimes they require student ID, sometimes they don't. YMMV.

  • @jaricesherman22
    @jaricesherman22 6 лет назад +25

    So, let me get this straight... They waited until classes started to tell students they don’t have housing? So, people moved across the country (out of state), signed up for on-campus housing, were told they had housing, now they have no where to go?!

My sophomore year, I recall students living on the 25th floor in barracks style housing for a few weeks.

I wanted my son's to attend but decided not to and it hurt me to make that decision.

    Sad... as mentioned, some are not old enough to even rent an apartment. At a different HBCU I came back from break and was told that no more rooms were available. With my luggage on the field that day, I decided to move off campus across the street. Being off campus you are not "in-the-know" as much but I NEVER looked back and didn't regret my decision. It did have its advantages over dorm accomodations. I was in a lease so I paid for months when I was out of school but I had a place to come back to. Fortunately, I was old enough to rent. Otherwise, my HBCU experience was great.

  • @septiawoman2911
    @septiawoman2911 4 года назад +2

    Many of these HBCU's charge a "arm and a leg and a couple of toes" for tuition/room and board. We know that BLACK students DO have a comfort zone of sorts at HBCU's, yet it is very difficult for the DESERVING student that can't afford an HBCU to attend. All students do not qualify for scholarships, and some of these HBCU's will not help or work with them.

    My alma mater only housed 20% of the students if that. Howard houses more than that. What are these students complaining about? That guy with the scholarship was mishandled. He should have been given guaranteed housing. Incompetency at Howard. Is this one of the best HBCU there is? Sad

    • @donbags5542
      @donbags5542 6 лет назад +2

      The places I looked up were cheaper than off campus housing. $300 or less a month if you share a room. That's much cheaper than all of the housing offered on campus, which ranged from $4,800-$10,000 a year. The $4,800 was for a triple. $3,600 for a double off campus is a bargain.
      Look...I get that Howard screwed up big time. But some of the melodramatic rhetoric these students are spewing is mostly for pity.
