<p>but, do apply to both</p>
<p>Give me Howard. But it all comes to personal taste and where you think you will flourish the most. Look at the pros and cons of each school. I'm not <em>too</em> worried about Howard's surrounding location, but it often times scares others. When I visited the school last year, I felt fine. Hampton on the otherhand is great as well, I just don't think I'd find a lot to do off-campus.</p>
<p>Howard can be downright unsafe at times. When I visited this year, there was a multicar police chase going on just a block away, and the cars cut through campus and stuff. I was kinda on ease, but obviously this doesn't happen ALL the time. But you do have to remember, you're in DOWNTOWN <strong><em>DC</em></strong>. You just have to take that into account.</p>
<p>Leaning toward hampton</p>
<p>I got my acceptance package today.</p>
<p>did you get a scholarship?</p>
<p>I just sent in my application to Howard like 3 weeks ago. It's nice to see some motivated black folk trying to get an eduation! :)</p>

<p>I attend Howard University and I live on campus. I'll be moving into an apartment in MD in the fall. Campus or the surrounding area is not bad, well at least not unless you're from OC and think that if there are not palm trees and flowers all around you then you're in the ghetto. HU is like 4 blocks from Chinatown/Downtown DC and in an area where it is primarily alone. There is nothing big around school except for a hospital. There are not wild police chases on campus everyday, although there was one two weeks ago. (lol) Nothing has ever happened to me or anyone I know, except for the people who want to show off and drive their luxury BMW or Lexus to school and get it broken into. If you do stupid things (like showing off expensive things and acting like a tourist at night) you MAY get robbed. Hampton is a great school as well, but Howard is the only HBCU ranked in US top 100 and the only in so many areas. I have multiple paid internship offers for this upcoming summer and have friends with job offers as juniors. The college you choose should make YOU happy and that alone is the reason you should choose whichever school it is that you choose to attend.</p>
<p>Good luck to all in the search. It took me a very long time to make a decision and I could not be happier with the one I made.</p>
<p>I got accepted to Howard with a Legacy scholarship. Idk I'm actually gonna go though, I'm leaning towards Spelman, but it all depends on if I get accepted into the honors program. Plus, there are a few other schools I'm waiting to hear from.</p>
<p>When did u find out about your scholarship?</p>
<p>About two weeks after I got my acceptance letter.</p>
<p>Rocky-- Have you received your acceptance letter yet?</p>
<p>I did not get the scholarship. Has anyone got their financial aid award letter?</p>
<p>I think that we get the financial aid letters in April- but I may be wrong.</p>
<p>You can't beat that gorgeous campus at Hampton. Plus, you can always travel "across town" to Norfolk State Univ and Old Dominion Univ to meet more people.</p>
<p>Yea, i got my letter a little while ago, maybe about 2 weeks</p>
<p>I heard about the required swimming class in the college of Arts & Sciences. Let's just say I don't play when it comes to water. The stories were sort of funny though, but I shouldn't laugh at people who are near drowning.</p>
<p>^^Why do they require swimming?? But it is good though, because I know lots of black people who can't swim. Aren't you a communications or business major though??</p>
<p>I applied to the COAS. It's required in the COAS as a physical education class. I think Health is required too?</p>
<p>Socrates, did you hear from NYU yet? Also, Do you know anything about the dorms? I know freshmen males stay in Drew or Carver, but which is better??</p>
