I recently got accepted at Howard! (Wednesday!!) and I’m so proud of myself! My first choice had been in Austin, which is very liberal, cool vibe. Sadly I didnt get accepted but I did get accepted to another school which is a lot like Austin on a smaller scale.
Anyway, my question is how is the population of hipster black students at Howard? I really love that crowd and I think that might help me make a decision.
The hippy artsy kids are here, for sure. HU has some of everything, trust me. I will say that more of the artsy kids seem to be associated with the theater department (which is quite good and produced the lady who plays Cookie in Empire, the guy who starred in the Jackie Robinson 42 pic, and a ton of old timers like Debbie Allen, Ossie Davis, etc.). There are jocks, stuck up kids and everything in between. You will find your niche. It is the Mecca, after all. You just have to give it time and get out and about your first semester trying different things.
Most of the hipsters are either in Fine Arts or the skateboarders that roll around campus
I plan on majoring in fashion design so hopefully I still find that niche. I love theatre as well so that’s fun! I’ll definitely look for the black girls in mom jeans lol!
Mom jeans tho? Lol!
Hey, aesthetics are important
You applied regular decision right? When did you hear back? What are your stats?
