What is the story of your "experience" at Your HBCU given its heralded status as a stellar and prestigious institution?*
I always tell people that Howard was my REAL college experience. For undergrad, I was at a school with 30,000 students, and really felt like just a number. Although I was very active on campus, I felt no connection to my major department. At Howard I was intimately connected to the department! I met some of my closest friends while I was at Howard, and we still are in close contact.
