out of all the howard videos i watched about people's experience i feel like you're the only one who told the truth about making friends. everyone else was talking about how ohh everyone's so nice and how you gotta put yourself out there, but if you are shy like me yk the struggles sometimes. and i gotta restingbitchface some say, so that makes it worse lmao
Gurl lemme tell u: I just got back from DC bc i also had to talk to housing in-person. And yes, they tried me with that “nOtHiNg wE CaN dO” bs and i had to go thru 2 residential life associates until the housing DIRECTOR came out and told me he will assign me something in mazza. And that was AFTER I emailed him a week ago showcasing how I cant afford HU’s “aFfOrDaBlE” off-campus housing thru showing him my paystubs from my current job and just begging and pleading! Financial aid, on the other hand, hit me with their trump card: “Everyone is working from home”. So im hitting all of them up via Microsoft Teams about additional aid. Holy sh*t, what a bunch of hoops they make us go thru as transfer students. But in terms of making friends, one thing I learned is dont waste your energy on returning students. Alot of times they already got their little cliques (infact, im learning how, no matter what race, kids from money are always gonna be snobbish and HU unfortunately has that.), so its best to mingle with new students who came in when you did.
Hi! Im black and 11 years old, I am struggling if I want to go to Howard, Yale, or Harvard. I really like all of them but I like Howard the most! What careers do you have to do to get in?
Hey girl, sorry for the late reply! I would get into one of the howard housing group chats, look into vie towers, and look at off campus housing options. I can add you to one if you'd like?
@@anyahleI would really really appreciate it so much if you respond to this. I’m a transfer student and Howard hasn’t sent any financial aid package or housing information whatsoever. I’m prepared to get an apartment off campus but they are sooooo expensive like averaging 2k for a one bedroom! I’m from the south so these prices are crazy to me and I have no idea how I’m supposed to be able to afford that!! What ways did you earn the money to pay for your rent or what would you suggest 🥲
no its true , that's a problem in the northeast. I remember going to Louisiana amd I found the people way more sociable and kind. Not its a thing that exists.
I find it pretty fucked up how most transfer students don’t receive ANY merit scholarships when coming in. HU picks out the best and brightest with their transfer admissions, and forces them to fend for themselves. My department of electrical engineering and computer science has no trustee scholarships due to tech companies not wanting to invest in ECCS undergraduates. I understand that it’s a systemic issue with HBCUs not getting enough funding overall, buuuut when your alumni is the VICE PRESIDENT and issues such as lack of housing (despite the PLETHORA of apartment complexes being made) or funding FOR the low-income students coming in is still an issue, there’s something wrong…
As a Bison Mom, I completely agree: GO IN PERSON to get your paperwork straightened out. The "Howard Runaround" is real.
Glad you get it. Thanks for watching! ❤️
Girl, thank you for sharing your candid experience and opinion, the authenticity and honesty was refreshing.
Sounds like it was a culture shock fr!
Yes girl! Like I said, didn’t personalities has different experiences! Not for the faint hearted 😅

I’m so glad this video helped! People deserve to know the truth so it’s not such a shock when they arrive.
You are such a pretty young woman, they may have been jealous. It seems you have survived the ignorance, you always had God on your side. Congrats!
Thank you so much! Maybe so? Idk I’m just doing me man! 😂 appreciate your kind comment 💞

Love the honesty in this and this is what I was thinking about being a transfer seems like they just outcast transfers
I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Yes, the say priority and attention isn’t allotted for transfer students and it’s quite sad.

You don’t actually have to pick a career until sophomore-junior year, they have a list of degrees and majors offered on their website though!
When I was 11 I was thinking about college too. Don’t listen to the people who say you are too young. Keep doing you boo!
I'm 17 man!! I feel you!! Don't stop thinking about the future!
Ty love for this video ❤️, just now coming across your Channel!

You are welcome! Fingers crossed. . .and toes! Glad it helped! ❤️😊
@THESTEVEMOSLEYSHOW you will! 💓🙏🏽
So should I go in person when it comes to trying to get housing, I really dont want to be off-campus?
I would suggest seeing where they put you first, then calling if it’s not on campus. Then, going in person to make your point.
Hey girl! I am a transfer student recently accepted I really need on campus housing but it doesn’t seem available to me do you have any suggestions?
Hey girl, sorry for the late reply! I would get into one of the howard housing group chats, look into vie towers, and look at off campus housing options. I can add you to one if you'd like?
@@anyahle Hiii, im also a transfer student who just accepted but without housing :( Could you add me to a housing gc?
yea
yu sound more like a wholesome person. Yeah the south is definetly better im still thinking of moving and living in a southern state.
I’m a 2002 alum of TSU and my daughter has HU on her list of schools to choose from. Small world:)
Small indeed, I’m sure you are very proud.
hey girl, I appreciate this video and I just got accepted. do you know whether they will be in person for the fall semester 2021
No idea love. I think they have plans to but they haven’t mad a final decision. I would monitor the website’s updates. ☺️
50,000 per year?
Yup! :/
for alldat? no thank you
@@anyahle girl howt?
@@anyahle like tuition or?
@@tama3442 yes ma’am
Thankyou so much! your video is very helpful. Did you find any true friends?
One, but we are no longer friends.
To transfer to Howard in the second semester of your freshmen year, do you have to submit test scores?
I don’t think so
So you paid rent out of pocket? Or the school paid your off campus rent? I’m new to everything please reply
Rent is paid out of pocket because I stay off-campus since campus isn’t open.

Are u ok with sharing ur stats? I hardly see any transfer students info
Hi, what specifically would you like to know? 😆
@@anyahle u don't have to share if ur not comfortable. I get it's private. But I was hoping to know unweighted gpa of ppl who got transferred in
no its true , that's a problem in the northeast. I remember going to Louisiana amd I found the people way more sociable and kind. Not its a thing that exists.
Where did you get your sweatshirt?
my mom passed it down from 20 years ago when she attended
I love Howard University I want to go there ❤️
And you should! It’s an outstanding school, I hope you get the full Howard Experience! ❤️
Oh I subscribed by the way. So I can watch your Howard videos
@@destinnerobinson9083 thanks boo! Not much to see this year but I should have a “Day in the Life” video being posted.

Spelman college and Howard university is the best schools
Agreed!
Nope Xavier university of Louisiana is sorry

@@Anne-nl3jx omg I forgot to put “are” like bru
@@destinnerobinson9083 you didn’t forget 😂 you put is instead. 😐
does Howard go by weighted or unweighted gpa?
I'm not too sure :/
I dont think it matters, they probably look at both
I gave them my unweighted
@@hearts4life17 i gave them my weighted
