<p>Spelman is outstanding. My daughter spent some time there last year when she was looking at colleges (I have a good friend who teaches there and she had the president of the student body host my daughter) . Prior to arriving, my daughter said she couldn’t understand why a person would go to a college that had all of the same kind of people. I told her that Black people were quite diverse and despite the fact that Spelman is a Black woman’s college, the students were from literally all over the nation and the world. when she arrived, my daughter witnessed this. These young women were SO impressive. Plus, the campus had photos of high achieving Black women in our history in every building. Spelman classes are co-ed because students from the other campuses of the AU Center can exchange classes. While race wasn’t an issue, my daughter did see other kinds of differences (Black Greek life, geographical diversity, etc.). She ended up not applying because she was accepted ED elsewhere. But, Spelman is definitely the top Black HBCU in the nation. They have the highest graduation rate of all HBCU and the students go on to outstanding graduate and profesional schools.</p>
