Howard University is a great school. Although not the traditional sense of diversity, the students come from all of the country. I also expect the international student representation is higher than reflected here. Fantastic school in a great area that is being gentrified, which can make it difficult for students to find off-campus housing if desired.

I loved Howard University for the academic challenge and campus life. I cherished my friendships and encouraged others to attend Howard University. They loved Howard and I am excited to meet Howard students every day wearing their school colors on sweat shirts and jackets. It always sparks a conversation about the love we have for Howard University and our school pride. Howard is rich in African American history and living legends always were invited to the campus to speak. Talented and gifted students are engaged by a dynamic faculty producing the future professionals of our community to serve our world needs as nurses, doctors, dentists, teachers, architects and global leaders. To the future students seeking the oasis rich environment at Howard University come and quench your thirst for still she rises to ever greater heights. I fondly remember the memories of my days at Howard University and to others may it be your greatest destiny.
