I almost went to Howard myself, but I didn’t feel “black” enough. Looking back, it may have been in my head, but it felt very real at the time. Glad to hear HU is still thriving!
Yea I heard a lot of people say the same, but at Howard there’s all types of Black people. I wish you would’ve went ❤️
this is the same thing that kept me from going to an HBCU. I don't feel black enough, but I also don't fit into PWI spaces so I feel very stuck in college (I go to GW currently).
I am currently going thro this rn
@@tutujohnson7356 so sorry you feel this way... just love yourself where ever u are😇
thank you for this as a senior who is waiting to hear back from the admissions office, this was really insightful
There's nothing more BEAUTIFUL than an educated black child!!!! This is AWESOME especially 👏🏿 with the recent issues of the dorms at H U which I pray has improved!!! My parents, grandmother, and a few cousins are products of the HBCU experience!!! I pray this young lady goes straight to the top of her field in advertising and helps others!!!!
The HBCU experience is something I'm so grateful for!! I appreciate your support 💕
GREAT INFO Arion
I went to an all black HS in Houston, but I graduated from a PWI in college. I can honestly say I had the time of my life in college. My HS was very popular and it like being at a black college. We had one of the best bands in the country, our athletic programs were top notch, and I really felt like going to a PWI would give me the balance I needed to deal with the reality of the world we live in. I support anyone who wants to go to HBCU's because not everyone has/had the HS experience that I did. When it comes down to it, you can excel at both. It's really about taking advantage of what the school offers, and tying yourself to the university in some way. Whether it be joining a fraternity or sorority, joining student government, etc. I admire that you are so open about your experience and good luck moving foward.
Which high school did you go to?

I stumbled upon this video this morning while looking for something else when it came up in suggestions since I like to watch videos about experiences at different colleges/universities and keep up with what’s going on at Howard in general! I am an Air Force veteran from DC who went to Howard after getting out of the military and my younger sister is also a Howard grad who majored in engineering then went to U of Maryland, College Park for her Masters. The engineering professors at Maryland where so impressed with how sharp and prepared my sister was. She had an amazing internship with the Army Corps of Engineers in Germany through Howard. I really enjoyed this video! It brought back so many memories of why I loved going to Howard from the amazing professors, welcoming atmosphere and great classmates…even the challenges like the one semester my tuition check from Veteran Affairs was sent to the hospital instead of the A building and I spent almost a whole semester with no money. Talk about not taking “No” for an answer! I was in the head financial aid officer’s office every week until my tuition check was found instead of simply waiting for the situation to work itself out.
I can relate to having to navigate both worlds when it comes to race because of the Air Force and now being a federal employee. Like you, I received exposure at Howard I never would have gotten anywhere else like… Barak Obama coming to the campus when he was running for President, seeing Jay Z up close as he did a pop up concert right outside of the band building during his Hangar Tour that turned into a major free concert sponsored by Coke. I just happened to be on campus that Saturday volunteering with some classmates for community service hours and one of them got a text that Jay Z was coming. One of them was from Brooklyn, NY so she was just totally beside herself with excitement. We ran up “the hill” so fast 😆! We were the first to arrive and it went from a few students standing around to a whole stage being built in minutes. Jay even took two students out of the crowd to fly and finish the tour with him. I could name so many more experiences like Oprah being my commencement speaker, but I just want to say as a fellow Bison how proud I am of you and I am glad to see some things haven’t changed about the Howard experience! Keep doing great things and you have a new subscriber to your channel!
Hey! I really enjoyed reading your story. Thank you for sharing your unique experience at Howard and for subscribing to my channel. I appreciate the time you took out of your day to type all of this.

@@judeayo1806 yes i did ! we didn’t get to see inside any of the buildings because of COVID but i liked the outside and the area of dc it’s in :)
Hi Arion! First of all, thank you so much for making this video! I got in Howard in January and I’m so excited but I need a lot of advice lol cause the tuition is a big deal. Do you any any advice or resources I can look into to pay for it?
Girl I lovedddddddd this video! I might be going to txsu which is another Hbcu! Thanks for sharing your experience honestly!
Hey girl!! Thank you so much, I’m glad you enjoyed it💕 & OK👏🏽👏🏽 You know I’m here for people going to HBCUs!
awee I have a Howard hustle too. I’ve definitely been trying to figure out how to get my business out there on campus
DM on IG!!
I Went to Morgan. What you are saying was also my experience .UMD is huge and cold.HBCUs feel warmer as a result you feel at Home.
Thanks 💜
Omg we have the same name and I will definitely be attending Howard in the fall!
Omg really? I never meet anyone with my name lol! But, congratulations!! Welcome to the Mecca ❤️💙
@@ArionAaliyah Yeah me neither, I must be meant to come there !thank you !

💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️great video my daughter was accepted to Howard and North Carolina A&T she’s having a hard time deciding which University. Any advice ? Best wishes on all your future endeavors.
Wheeew. That last quote should be on a t-shirt chi😩
Seriously! 😂
I would love to meet you one day at Howard!🥺❤️
Let’s meet girl! 💕 What’s your IG?
I dont wven know you but im proud of you. Glad you transferred!
Thank you girl! ❤️
Im an international student who is low income and first gen hoping to go to howard as the class of 27. Binge watching ur videos rn and they’re really exciting me for college.
I hope you get in!! 🙏🏽 Thank you for the support!
As an international student at Howard, it is a bit difficult to traverse the campus and find opportunities but when you actually get out and talk to people it gets easier.
Networking and making friends will be the biggest help because they look out for you and international students look out for each other they’re clubs here that help you adjust to life as an international student as well. But I’m HU25 and Howard hasn’t been too bad for me, I enjoyed e year. If you have any questions you can message me 😁
Aw thank you for responding and sharing your perspective as an international student! I don’t know much about the international opportunities at Howard, so could you leave your IG? ❤️💙
I submitted my application to transfer fall semester to Howard. I hope I get in!!
Yay!! You got this, I hope you get in too ❤️💙
Stay strong. Your choice of attending HU will be a life altering decision. In many respects it may be the best thing that will ever happen and continue to happen to you. May God continue to bless you and yours!
Thank you so much!! ❤️
@@ArionAaliyah I am so proud of you that I have forwarded your video to others. Keep being the you God designed in you.
@@richardbrown9332 thank you for sharing with others 🙏🏽
@@ArionAaliyah You are more than welcome.
I love this video first of all🙌🏾 but I got waitlisted at Howard due to a missing document the school didn’t receive. What do you think I should do because I really want to go to Howard
Thank you for watching! I'm not 100% sure who you should contact, but I would make sure that you get the missing document in ASAP. You might want to call/email admissions to ensure that they get it so that you can come to Howard!!❤️💙
@@ArionAaliyah Thank you so much for getting back to me. The missing document is finally in and I contacted different admissions counselors but no one has gotten back to me😭😭😭😭
Same thing happened to me last year supposedly they didn’t receive my transcript even tho my high school sent it. I appealed the rejection and got accepted the next week
Our daughter is an HU student and our experience has been good thus far. She’s a chemistry major. Good luck in all of your endeavors. Positive message for all to see and hear.
Im interested in being a chemistry major ! At HU as well? Is she a freshman ?
Yay I’m glad to here she’s been enjoying Howard as well! Thank you for the love and support 🤍
She’s definitely cute! Thanks for your experiences at HU. Isn’t HU hella expensive
I got accepted as a transfer from community college into Howard uni for their computer science program to do software engineering and development. Im also a gender nonconforming gay student. I hear their LGBTQ+ awareness is great. But im terrible asf with making friends 😖 also that lip gloss is bomb ♥️
you’ll do great i hope you have a great time there
i’m in hs but i am constantly getting emails from howard i know id be a good fit but scholarships are my biggest concern like idk how i can afford it
I’m a transfer to Howard as well. And I’m also introverted. It’s super hard finding out about events/clubs bc I stay off campus. Any advice?
Are you in the transfer Group Me? Also follow different Howard Instagram pages/people to know about more events!
@@ArionAaliyah no I’m not lol how can I be added?
Hey Arion, I have been dealing with a broken heart since the end of 2016 until present. Just grieving this person that I loved rejecting me, laughing at me publicly and making known that they don’t want nothing to do with me. Do you have any advice on how I can move on? Thank you so much in advance ❤️
Hey! Focus on something that makes you happy and that you enjoy doing on a daily basis. Hopefully this helps get your mind off of things. 🙏🏽❤️
Believe in yourself!!!!
Seek the Lord for justice from Him
Seek the Lord for His mercy
Prioritize the Lord as your happiness as you move through the world and face the day
Give yourself time and space to grief. The pain will be lesser with time. Embrace the grief ...it will feel better with time. hugs
What do you know about the fashion program ?
Just subbed but I’m in high school looking to go here when I graduate in 2023
You definitely should come!! You would love it here ❤️
same!
Got into howard ‘26 but I don’t have the funds for this year. I’m having trouble deciding if I should just go to a uni in my country or take a gap year and start howard for the class of ‘27
go to community college save and then transfer
Me and you both, I got into Howard ‘26. Did you apply for FAFSA?
@@sunnyspudd i’m an international student so i’m supposed to fill out the ISFAA. Haven’t heard back from them as yet
save! and go
Idk Howard has a track record of disregarding transfer and international students. Arion here is one of lucky few who transferred and could actually continue their education at HU. Quite a few ppl that were in my social circle had to leave because HU wasn’t giving them their financial aid until late October/November, but bills are expected to be paid by August.
✊🏿👑💜🌹 ✌🏿👑BLESSINGS
How were your grades in highschool to be able to get into howard? I’m looking into applying but I’m not sure how strict they are on GPA, I have a 3.6 and I’m worried I won’t get in.
How much you enjoy Howard is ENTIRELY dependent on your degree and college you pick. If you’re in STEM you won’t enjoy Howard to the lvl that Arion or any other non-stem student will.
@@reet7060 how come?
@@luvvreni Lack of funding for Stem majors, internships and opportunities. One advisor per major (so 800 bio kids to one advisor). Extremely large class sizes. Impossible to make connections with professors due to class size. Stem professors are researchers first and mentors/teachers last. Stem students get last picks for classes. Never enough spots for basic or even advanced stem courses
Ex) 100 total spots for Chem 101 but 60 chem majors, 500 chem minors, and hundreds of other students required to take Chem 101 (just among the freshmen).
@@reet7060 well that sucks 😕. i was thinking about transferring there from community college
@@luvvreni They also don’t accept stem credits from community colleges
I personally kind of hate it here, the students here are very difficult to make friends with. I feel like if you don't look a certain way you are doomed to have a lackluster social life. But the education is good Im not necessarily here to make friends. just figured I'd warn yall who are thinking about coming here
Was about to say, this shit can be pretty rough depending on the person. Especially less sociable types. Also, the standards here can be kinda wild-especially regarding housing and tuition/financial aid.
Hey girl, I’m sorry that your experience at Howard hasn’t been the best. I know you may feel like it’s hard to make friends, but trust me..the right people will come! If someone only cares about your appearance, you shouldn’t be friends with them anyway! You’ll find genuine people that value character over looks. Pay attention so you can sort those people out.
I’m not the most sociable person ever, so I try to push myself to do things that aren’t as comfortable/natural to me. It takes time to get better with it. Also, housing and tuition at Howard is overwhelming at times but you just have to find a solution if possible.
@@ArionAaliyah I appreciate this girl fr ❤ I'm holding out faith, I mean Im not looking to transfer or anything because I also feel like I just need more time. But for now Im focused on my career. I really like your video though, I love how honest you are about your good and bad experiences. Much love sister!

HBCU or PWI you have to compete globally to have a positive impact Howard university does position students to change the🌎
Hopefully I’m one of those people that make changes in the future! 🙏🏽
VP of US Kamala Harris graduated from Howard University.
No cause attorney Dillard is really that professor love her
My fav!! 😍💕
i literally have to choose from Howard or FAMU today… and i’m stuck .
You already know I want you to come to Howard lol..But, make a pros and cons list and make your decision that way. Go with your gut!
@@ArionAaliyah really the only think stopping me rn is how much it’s going to cost me to go to howard
@@kaitlynn9488 yea i feel you, Howard is really expensive. I look at going here as an investment. The people you meant and the experiences you have here, money can’t buy. So just look at different loans, scholarships, and other resources to help as well
@@kaitlynn9488 which did you pick?
I’m thinking about enrolling for Fall 2022 but I am a little scared. Are there a lot of people from the Caribbean ? ( West Indians )
Lol, don't be scared come!! There's a lot of Caribbean people here
I’m a West Indian who goes to Howard! 🇻🇬🇻🇬
@@kathlynarchibald-drew4395 yes ma’am!!
@@kathlynarchibald-drew4395 Waw that’s so cool ‼️ Nice to meet you 🇹🇹
What’s your major? That’s really important to how happy you’ll be with HU
0:09 this feels targeted 😂
Lol you’re the first Black guy I met from Maine 😂😂
i regret it lol
Aw why?
I am 39...so I am definitely too old for you but I would definitely date you if you were older...and congratulations on going to HU...I personally didnt and wouldnt go to an HBCU but I am glad you like it there..
