What were some of the nice and not so nice things you observed during your visit?

I said socially consdrvative because on a number of threads "conservative" has been used primarily to describe political party affiliaton. Politically, D is liberal, and has recently become more of an activist - - no doubt, due in part, to her Quaker education. For example, although D does not have a bf, she is very much offended that health services at Catholic LACs/unis do not prescribe plan B and that they dispense birth control pills for acne only. I worry that a HBCU, even Howard, might be not only too conservative for her, but also somewhat alienating since she has absolutely no religious instruction (Quaker school taught tolerance).

A visit would help, but at this point I just trying to determine whether Howard and other "mabye" schools on her list are worth the thrip.
