May I add a note to this one, please? From extensive research I have done, I know that HBCUS may end up being more expensive than non-HBCUs. I have heard horror stories about the craptastic financial at HBCUS (especially Howard); it’s not an uncommon complain at all. If you don’t want lots of student loans or would struggle paying the difference, I’d think twice about an HBCU. If your parents can pay most or all of your costs, then go for it if that’s what you want. Otherwise, I’d look elsewhere.</p>
