Hey there! I’m applying to Howard as a transfer student (granted if I’m accepted, I’ll be a Communications major). I’m just curious to find out the following:
- If the Communications program is really that good (from a student’s HONEST p.o.v.)
- How’s the dorm life (I’ll be a junior by this fall 2015)
- Is it really true about the campus being a bit run-down in certain areas?
- How would you, the student rate the overall experience?
- What should I expect?
I’m really curious to find out and every little answer helps! Thanks 
What program under communications are you interested in exactly?
The CAMPUS is not run down. Some of the area AROUND our campus is though, but that’s not our property and it’s beyond our control.
The dorms are fine. We have two new ones and the Towers starts renovation this year.
My overal experience was great. Some things like Res Life and academic advisement could be a lot better though.
Expect to seek information on your own. A lot of times, advisors do not let you know what is required.
@MezzoForte I applied rather late, only on Feb 1, to Howard through commonapp. I worked really hard on my essays, so I took a lot of time. But, it has been months and I still haven’t gotten a decision. When should the decision come? The wait is agonizing!
You should hear by the end of this month or early April.
