Attending College 600 miles away

Whitney Payton · Tuesday, May 30th 2006 at 8:55AM · 367 views
Is there anyone attending Spelman or another HBCU that is 500 or more miles away from home with little or no family in the state in which they will be attending college??? I have an aunt, uncle, and cousin who live in Lothonia, Georgia but, other than that I have no one here.

yo I know how you feel. Im from DC and Im goin down to A&T in the fall. I have ZERO family down there. Just make sure you keep your head on straight and you should be alright.

I'm leaving Minnesota to go to Howard in D.C. I don't have any family over there, the closest is my dad's family in Philly. The rest of my fam is in TX. I'm a lil nervous, since I'm a small city girl, but I'm not country and I know where I came from, and I know where I'm going, so no real worries. Besides, I'm tired of the Midwest, and I am so tired of Minnesota... New place, new life; change is exciting and I'm ready for it.

Yeah, I'm going from Dallas to Spelman and I have no family there. But, I'm pretty sure we will all bond and become family soon.

I'm going to Clark Atlanta University. About 3,000 miles from Home. I got a few people up there but I really don't know them. I just hope to meet new people out there so that I will have people to celebrate with.
