Why did you choose an HBCU over a pwi?*
Originally I didn’t have a preference of what kind of school I went to. My parents both went to college and graduated. My father went to Wiley College and my mother went to Florida Atlantic University.

What is the story of your "experience" at Your HBCU given its heralded status as a stellar and prestigious institution?*
I’m currently a Sophomore at The Illustrious Alabama State University and so far my college career has been great. When I first arrived I was nervous being that I was so far from home but once I got settled in I joined freshman organizations like SGA Street Team which led me to branch out and meet new people and join other campus organizations as well.
