ehh...I dunno. Used to believe that. I went to Howard in the early to mid 90's, and I assumed that the University just left the admission floodgates open wide for some quick cash. This was at the height of the black entertainment renaissance, so the radio/TV/Film programs were incredibly popular. Looking back on it though, and the easy money kids fell off very quickly.
Now, with about twenty years of perspective, the people that weren't extraordinary students seem to be doing fine. Living in squalor is never the business, but at least at Howard, they cleaned up after I left. Still, all the years of learning in-class skills and street smarts (surviving DC in the 90's and making it from your campus to your apartment was a BIG accomplishment), toughened me up in MANY ways. I'd have died in Los Angeles without the experience of college, figuratively and literally.
Controversial opinion - I think that struggle housing builds character. Sure, with all of the money that you're paying, it's not an enviable situation, but it's certainly a valuable one.
Again, I'm probably looking back with rose-colored burberry shades.
Also, wanted to get one other point across: choosing the right HBCU and the right program is a BIG deal. Not all are created equal, and I'd def do undergrad at an HBCU but choose a different experience for grad.

One of my line brothers transferred from Howard to join us at Michigan. All he could talk about his how much of a joke their Engineering program was. Hopefully the other programs are strong.

I'm way late to this but a fellow Carolinian "we outchea"....Talking bout Benedict and Allen.... A buddy of mine told me once when I moved to Charlotte "it's a well known fact that you can determine a HBCU's level of struggle based on the proximity of a Churches chicken". Think about it. Churches is right off Elmwood pretty much smack dab in the middle of both Benedict and Allen. There's one a little ways down from JC.Smith in Charlotte the list goes on. A&T in Greensboro.
Just wanted to put that out there in regards to this HBCU and churches talk.

Somebody needs to sue Sallie Mae into o-fucking-blivion. Tell me why I logged into their website to pay my loans and these assholes are trying to tell me my shit is past due. My bills are due on the first of each month. Last time I checked, it's still June the motherfucking first. So they can kiss my ass. I went ahead and put in for my base bill amount and I will be calling them first thing in the morning to tell them that they can kiss the blackest part of my light skinned ass and they better not try to report this shit to the credit bureaus as late. I've been trying to recover my shit from the gotdamn brink and I don't have time for these glorified scam artists to be playing games.
Yeah, I'll chill out
I been sent Sallie Mae two cheeks to kiss. Fuck em. I'm going to be in school forever.
Seriously, if you take classes at least part time and make payments then you'll pay off your loans quicker. Basically, the payments go to the principal instead of standard payments going to interest. Even then there's income contingent plans which allow you to pay what you can monthly.
I'm guessing the current discussion is over the future of HBCU's getting funding? I remember my dad suggesting I go to one to give me "culture," like he was surprised what would happen after raising two black sons in a military family.
And a sick part of me wants to see Sally Mae be the start of some new domino effect debt bomb that hits the economy, just see how it affects higher education in this country going forward.
