Some consider Howard University the nation’s pre-eminent black university and with good reason. Howard has connections all over the country and works hard to bring the fruits of those relationships to its campuses and students. These benefits translate into grants, internships, jobs and more. In addition, the school strives to make sure their students learn and succeed. Many students profess that their week is dominated by studying and the weekend is for their social life. Some academic areas are seen as more rigorous than others. African American Studies , Business and Dentistry are all noted for their strong programs. The most popular major is biology.
Students are also seen as driven with a focus on career goals, academics, political activism, and community service. Some students do feel the pressure. Having confidence and self-esteem helps.
Not surprisingly, a majority of the students are African American. Diversity comes from the strong international community within the student population including people from Spain, England, Trinidad and Tobago, South Africa, Nigeria..... Nationally, the top three draws for Howard students are 1. Maryland, 2. New York and 3. California. Housing can be difficult after freshman year. The higher the grade point average the better your lottery number with regard to housing.
