Where are you from? Who introduced you to HBCUs?*
I am from Columbus, Georgia. I was introduced to HBCUs by my parents and family, reading magazines, and talking to others about their schools.
Sade’ Allen a proud student at Alabama State University
Why did you choose an HBCU over a pwi?*
I chose a HBCU over a pwi because I wanted to know more about my African-American background and where I came from. Also, I knew if I didn’t attend an HBCU I would not be exposed to as many opportunities that others I talked to received when they attended a HBCU.
Family Legacy - Feel free to elaborate…Not only is attending Alabama State University a family legacy, it also has a great welcoming, family feeling. When I first visited the campus ( Turkey Day Classic ) I felt and saw how proud alumni was and how happy current students were about Alabama State University.
What is the story of your "experience" at Your HBCU given its heralded status as a stellar and prestigious institution?*

Best restaurants on/near campus? Best dishes?
The best restaurant on campus will probably be the restaurants in our student union. We have a wing and pizza place and a Subway. Mu favorite dish is the Philly Cheese Steak combo.
What is your major? and Why did you choose it?
I am currently a Rehabilitation Service major and with that I plan on enrolling in Graduate School at Alabama State University to become a Physical Therapist.
I chose Rehab/ PT because when I went to Physical Therapy with love ones I was amazed at what the therapist helps a patient accomplish.
To know that one I can be the reason why someone is able to use a part of their body, they probably thought they would never be able to use properly again really inspires me.

Because I was not as involved in high school, I told myself I was going to be very active in college. I am currently in NAACP and other organizations.
Where is the “yard” located?
The yard is located by the student union.
What and where are the historical places on campus?
I would say every part of Alabama State is historical we are in the city of the Civil Rights Movement so there is so much history that surrounds us. We have many historical homes surrounding the outside of the campus.
How did your HBCU prepare you for a diverse workplace?
Alabama State University prepares you for a diverse workplace because the campus is VERY DIVERSE we have people from all over the world from England to Nigeria, we have them all.
