Read Hundreds of Quotes from Howard University Students

Read samples from the Howard University guide below:

Academics

“I like my professors and the way they make going to class such an enjoyable experience for me. It’s not often that you encounter an educator who has the ability to make you look forward to tackling organic chemistry early in the morning.”

Diversity

And even though the campus was recently voted the second most fashionable university in the country by Women’s Wear Daily, nobody is judged by their fashion sense, or lack thereof.

Most students, except for those who are on athletic scholarships, are not particularly preoccupied with school sports, at least not until the big Homecoming football game when students turn out in droves—no matter how cold it might be—and show support for their fellow Bison and cheer them on until they go hoarse.

There is a wide variety of intramural sports available for students to...
