Damion Karam 's blog ::Diverse Issues in Higher Education: Historically Black Colleges and Universities Week Opens in Washington








You               are               fresh               out               of               high               school               or               just               now               deciding               to               go               to               college               and               you               are               ready               for               a               fresh               new               start.

You               have               probably               looked               at               local               colleges               and               they               just               don't               fit               your               taste;               or               you               have               probably               ruled               out               attending               an               ordinary               community               college.

So               what's               next?

Well               if               you               are               a               college-bound               African-American               student,               than               attending               a               Historically               Black               College               or               University               (HBCU)               just               may               be               the               answer.

College               can               be               fun               and               it               can               also               be               culturally               stimulating.

Attending               a               black               college               is               one               of               the               best               experiences               that               an               African-American               or               a               non-African-American               can               have.

The               struggles,               the               history,               and               the               successes               of               most               Historically               Black               Colleges/Universities               are               astounding.

It               is               truly               a               privilege               to               follow               the               legacies               of               some               of               America's               most               profound               black               leaders               by               attending               and               graduating               from               a               Historically               Black               College/University.
               I               have               had               the               opportunity               to               attend               two               of               the               countries               top               HBCUs.

I               would               have               to               say               that               this               was               definitely               one               of               the               best               experiences               in               my               life.

I               was               able               to               grow               and               understand               who               I               was               and               the               struggles               that               African-Americans               have               gone               through               in               order               to               get               me               there.

Besides               all               of               the               parties,               different               cultures,               and               excitement,               I               did               end               up               learning               more               than               I               thought               that               I               would.

My               experience               at               an               HBCU               has               helped               shape               the               person               that               I               am               today.
               So               why               are               HBCUs               so               important               for               African-Americans?

In               American               History               after               the               civil               war,               African-American's               could               only               attend               these               types               of               colleges               in               order               to               become               college               educated.

HBCUs               have               continued               to               be               a               sure               way               for               African-Americans               or               students               from               any               race               to               get               the               best               possible               education               available.
               Over               half               of               the               African-American               professionals               are               graduates               of               a               HBCU.

90%               of               the               top               ten               colleges               that               graduate               the               most               African-American               students               with               PhDs               are               HBCUs.
               So               maybe               you               have               decided               or               just               thought               about               going               to               an               HBCU.

The               thought               is               beginning               to               excite               you,               however,               you               just               don't               know               where               to               start.

What               college               will               you               attend?

Which               ones               are               the               best?

How               much               will               it               cost               and               how               will               you               pay               to               go?

What               college               will               be               the               right               place               for               you?

Well               for               your               convenience,               I               have               put               together               a               guide               to               help               make               your               college               searching               experience               less               painful               and               more               enjoyable.
               I               have               included               some               of               the               top               5               HBCUs               according               to               Black               Enterprise's               list.

I               hope               that               this               will               be               a               helpful               guide               to               help               you               determine               your               future               success.
