<p>Punkchique, I go to an inner-city high school in Miami and most of the cons have to do with the school itself and not with HBCUs. At my inner-city school that has a low graduation rate, Bethune is considered a joke. People have opted to attend the community college instead of being stuck at Bethune. They have a low standard of acceptance and came to our school bragging about how easy it was to get in (just need a 2.0 and they beg you to write a short essay) so the kids tend not to value education as much.</p>
<p>I believe it is a good school for gets who barely passed high school and want to go to a 4-year college but do not have the grades and scores to get into a state school, but for someone like you it’s not the best choice.</p>
