<p>thats what we have seen as well mini
a AA student may welcome the opportunity to attend college with students who "look like them"- a different expereince from their high school, where they may have had to hide having a strong academic aptitude to escape or at least reduce belittlement from their peers
a principal at my daughters school commented on how teachers allowed students to * sneak* papers in, rather than being * seen* turning a paper in on time
I think they hope a HBCU will have a different atmosphere</p>
