snobbiness at HBCUs

Some of the thing u said are exactly true, but u have to realize that like all colleges and universities there are students whos primarly purpose of being there is not to recieve an education. For the true students that u meet u will realize that they, like urself, want to educate themselves for some profession as well as build bonds with people who have gone and go through the same experiences as them. The connections and relationships u can build with ur fellow african americans can be truly beneficial for years to come. As u can see from this site HBCUs are like a brotherhood and all of us understand that we have something to fulfill by being there. So at least experience an HBCU for yourself. They have there problems but the advantages and experiences are worth it.

"I heard" or "Read" are key and very important words. I have heared and sometimes even read these type of accusations, especially from my teacher who attened Frostburg, a PWC. She based her arugements on her predominantly black high school, but that is unfair to compare one individual high school to all black colleges, espeically when you don't have to pay for a public high school education (meaning anybody can go). I will say this, like you can find snobbish black people anywhere, you can easily find snobbish white people. They are no different, actually they can be worst. I think we as a people need to stop pointing the figure at every little thing that makes something black bad. How can we overlook the fact that Whites are just as materialist, watch T.V.: Rich Girls, Jessica Simpson, Paris Hilton, the Real World, etc. at some point people just like this go to college. So lets open our eyes, stop making exceptions for white people, and make decisions based on experiences not what we heard or read.

Justin, i'm glad you noticed that i saide "heard" and "read"; I wasn't saying that the information that i have are facts, which is why I'm coming to the source and asking you guys.

Some things are true that is stated above but other things are not. I don't know to many studnets at ASU that are snobby. Some students that have money may think of theirselves as being better but most people don't pay them that much attention. It is true that HBCU's are fashion shows girls usally are dress like they are about to go to the club everyday. Overall I think the HBCU's experience is well worth your time and efforts.
