A Different World: HBCU vs PWI Episode

- HBCUs prepare you to excel in any environment. The message from day one is that you matter in this world and belong in any hall or corridor of power that you choose. As a FAMU graduate, I’ve never had a problem adjusting to any environment. My professors had all been where I wanted to go and knew how to get me there and keep me there. Another benefit of HBCUs: Black professors in every program of study on campus-who’ve made their mark in their respective fields and have come back to show the next generation of Black students how to do the same. I did not truly understand diversity until I attended an HBCU. To be surrounded by the best and brightest young Black minds from all over the United States, the Caribbean, Africa, and Europe, is something I will never ever forget. Attending an HBCU is so much more than obtaining a degree, it is to both literally and figuratively join, and continue, a legacy of Black excellence.
I think so many would go to HBCUs if there was financial aid available for students, that was the case for me. HBCUs are incredibly underfunded.
I know you wrote this two years ago. I’m just now seeing this today. Your comment is very interesting.
Another thing I’ve noticed is HBCUs lack of Alumni donations. When it comes to PWIs or Ivy League schools, most (if not all) students graduate and go on to get spectacular jobs. HBCUs often don’t have the resources to guarantee gainful employment after college. I think a better strategy for guidance towards students could help ensure more HBCU alumni funding in the future.
So much truth in this statement. I applied to 2 PWIs and 1 HBCU. The HBCU gave me the least financial aid/scholarships of the 3. I went to the school that paid for my undergraduate education.
I know this is an old comment now, but I just saw it. I was accepted to Spelman with the Presidential scholarship back in the 1990s, when HBCUs were underfunded. I also got accepted to Howard, but wasn’t offered a scholarship (much to my counselor's dismay, since he was an alum) because they were underfunded. If HBCUs had more positive support, in general, more students would be interested.
After the whole Howard debacle with Phylicia Rashad, it doesn’t look too good for HBCUs now!
Exactly! There are thousands of regionally accredited colleges and universities, and HBCUs are of course among them. It doesn't take much to go to a solid college or university. So you have to look beyond academics and see what else colleges have to offer. HBCUs have always had a fervent interest in your success. That is why the Black professors and provosts and advisors there are harder on students than ever. The other thing is that in a society like this, you have to really be strong in your identity in order to make it. People who are of the dominant culture can just go into society and don't even have to wrestle with that first part. They can just succeed on their own merit. But people who are not from the dominant culture have to have a strong sense of self, identity, and an understanding that popular culture has nothing to do with true Black culture, before they can come out and be successful in this world. And that is why graduates of HBCUs are so successful. Because they have that foundation.
This video and this comment are one of the most beautiful things I read/seen today.
I wish more of our african american students would feel this way about our hbcu especially the athletes.
Fred Maxwell well the athletes knows how prejudiced some of the recruiters are like in the NBA and NFL they know that they're not going to get scouted to go to the pros in the HBCU
Monica Logan not entirely true a few HBCU are huge in the NCAA football. Grambling Uni is pretty big and have kids be drafted often from them
That's true a lot of black football stars are basketball Stars usually go to the pwi colleges. Because they are on television and they have more exposure and most of them are all top D1.
@@pisceanchaniece5066 true
Like the one, commentator at the NFL draft said they haven't drafted a play out of the HBCU in 10 years. What does that tell you? So basically from 2007 till 2017 no HBCU students were drafted into the NFL
I can't believe CZcams removed all the season of a different world I'm so upset... This show is classic to me
+Its Lepree Netflix
Kenneth D. Aston Jr. Netflix until March 15. Then lost forever! 😭😭😭
Hannah Rose WTF really, now that is bullshit!
Kenneth D. Aston Jr. RIGHT?!?? I literally called Netflix today and asked if they could reconsider taking it off. But, they said the only reason it's being removed is because the 2 year contract is up. HOPEFULLY they sign another one!
Wow and thanks for trying
She is preaching. My undergraduate experience would have been very different had I chosen to attend a TWI. I wouldn't trade my HBCU experience for anything!
+CzarJuliusIII I have HBCU envy that I'm still working through. lol
"I wouldn't trade my two HBCU experiences ever!" NCCU and Morehouse College! Eagle Personified. Tiger Refined.
I think Wendy Williams missed this episode. Speak that, Whitley. Benedict College alum here!
This was the episode that made me want to go to a HBCU. I needed this and I'm glad i had this growing up. Quality black TV.
I am equally proud of my HBCU. Saint Augustine’s College, now University. Raleigh, North Carolina!
I came here because I was researching about the refference on K.C. Undercover Season 2 Episode 5.
THE Grambling State University, best decision of my life was attending an HBCU!
I love the way they act
it's so real
that's what it looks like to me.
don't you see how real it looks like you should see it
it inspires you all dosent lt? somebody anwser my pesten
Grambling State University graduate! I love my alma mater
you look nice
+Dimbil Ali thank you
Cheyney University of Pennsylvania the first HBCU I wouldn't trade it for the world 1837
I didn't even think about going to a PWI for my undergraduate degree and I wouldn't trade the experience I had at my HBCU for anything a PWI could offer me.
We need collages like Hillman
We have colleges like Hillman...that is the point of the episode and these comments. HBCUs exist for the reason Whitley and Dewayne outlined.
@Bruce Leroy as well as plenty of other hbcus!
I love whitley and dwayne together...but I also kinda think her and ron would've been cute...I remember watching the 1st season thinking how much her best friend Millie looked like Ron and how cute and perfect Millie and Ron were for each other...
I don't think people should be shamed for where they go
That is how I feel about Stillman College. Stillman was not my first choice but the best choice for me.
Stillman? Like Hillman? Yeah ok.
Someone once told me that you benefit more from a school with more than one demographic as opposed an HBCU, and for a while I thought so, too. Granted, I never went to college (I did do a couple semesters at the Art Institute of Washington), but if I had gone I would much rather be around people who I can relate to.
I went to PWIs for elementary, middle, and high school. I really wanted a majority-Black experience. I was accepted to Spelman, but someone kept messing with my FAFSA form. I ended up going to another PWI, but man, maybe I'll get my master's degree at Spelman! 😁
Thank you 100🤓🎓
Truth!
id love to go to a hbcu if they had stronger gender studies programs
If I did it all over again I would've attended Lincoln University-Missouri. That was my second choice. But I ended up at Rockhurst cause I wanted to be a good supportive friend.
University District of Columbia is the best hbcu college I proud of my beloved hbcu and I know my school is proud of me more people now in dc need to attend a university like this
Love this
I don't like this show
+Dimbil Ali so go away
Bishop State Community College for life!!
Yes best thing I ever did...HBCU Knoxville College
Why on earth is it that i remember that the next thing she says is "then he started talking about the Bolsheviks..."
TheGame me asf 😂😂
Amos Wilson had some curious remarks on hbcu being places that instil you with lots of intangible almost huddencarua less than are difficult to pin down. at the same time, instead cows, during one interview, they were berated as blacj-drag white institutions
Does anyone have the full episode?
This was a hit show, and in my opinion a good show. There are many other 80s shows that have appeared over the years in reruns, but for whatever reason, I've never seen this one in reruns. What's the deal?
Honestly! I think that if I had grown up watching this show, then I would have attended an HBCU ... probably TSU in Houston.
I'm glad I went to howard ...hbcu's are the only place where a black person can feel normal for their phenotype
Lincoln University of Pennsylvania Alum! 1-8-5-4, First Degree Granting HBCU.
Mack Cauthen Langston is the real LU!!! 😂😂😂
🏆 #HBCUsMatter Why did you choose your HBCU?

Spelman College Alumna
