I am only 5 minutes into this video, BUT as a recent college graduate who is apart of the divine nine greek community let me just say, you are giving some REAL advice. Yall listen up.

[@BrelynnHunt]

+nataleh I'm not gonna lie, my heart dropped at first! Haha I was hoping I didn't say too much. thank you for watching!

[@rogers5622]

BeautyandBrains5 great advice about campus life(Member of Divine 9)

[@pinkkamor]

I'm an uprising Senior in High School and I appreciate these college advice videos that your making. I admire you in so many ways 💯. I love your personality, your persona,etc. Thank you so much.

[@BrelynnHunt]

+Ayanna Baker aw thank you so much!!!

[@ElizabethLilac23]

Brelynn needs her own talk show lol

[@BrelynnHunt]

+Peyton Elizabeth awww thank you!!!

[@aliciamarie8900]

I’m determined to go to a HBCU because I️ just love💗 to be around people like me!!

[@BrelynnHunt]

that's so cool! good luck with that my love!

[@cynthialay4866]

I am a high school teacher you gave great advice I will be sharing this video with three of my students that will be attending Tuskegee University. I am a proud Alumni of a Historically Black College your presentation was great !

[@SwaqqSoMindless143]

I just finished my first year at Spelman and all the things you said were totally true! I wouldn't trade my experience for anything, it has taught me soooo much.

[@BrelynnHunt]

+Amber Hicks thank you Spelman sister!! I'm glad you liked your first year!

[@briannaglenn4549]

YES! Your beautiful and educated like Mary Jane (from being Mary Jane) and honest/ funny like Wendy Williams...I love it!

[@BrelynnHunt]

+Brianna Glenn aw that's such a compliment!! Thank you! ♥️♥️♥️

[@Khryssi05]

I wish my parents were for HBCU's. I'm in Texas so it's only Prairie View A&M and Texas Southern University. They're both party schools and my parents hate their reputations so they were against them. So first I went to an all girls university and hated it. So I'm at a PWI now. Oh well two years until I get my degree. If I have children I'm gonna push for them to attend HBCU's🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@beezygirl93]

lol, I promise you Southern University isn't as much as a party school as people expect. I currently attend there.

[@BrelynnHunt]

+Khryssi05 yes! Continue the legacy with your kids for sure

[@Khryssi05]

Brianna Franklin yes. Like Jarvis, Paul Quinn or Wiley college are a few Christian HBCUs I discovered after getting attached to my university. I would transfer but I like my university and they people I've met there. However I would of loved to attend PV AMU. I wish they had a masters of occupational therapy.

[@elmoisdericka]

Khryssi05 A lot of HBCU's are targeted. "They" created this image of HBCUs being bad, party schools, and violent. A crime happens 4 blocks away from a HBCU, but the news station is filming on campus about the crime that has nothing to do with the campus at all. This is a popular hidden tactic to allow people to believe HBCUs are dangerous. Stay woke, HBCUs is a big part of history and "they" don't want us to know that.

[@SincereClare]

Im so glad I came across this I was debating between Texas State and Southern universities? I chose to attend Texas Southern 😊 I feel it will teach me many life lessons rather good or bad & I just love my people 😚

[@sho_wil236]

Wow...I’m a mom of 3, just here to take some notes for my son who will be an incoming freshman next fall. Just gon sit this whole video in his message box! Thx for everything! Just call me Mom! ❤️

[@virtuouskey2892]

I'm a high school senior 2018 👑💅🏾! Yet this video was a big help and I've always had my heart set on an HBCU and you just said everything that I needed to hear. I just want to be surrounded by young black men and women who have the mindset to succeed and I feel like an HBCU can provide that. Also can you make a video on how to research a college professor.

[@keepingupwitlexx]

Yes, being a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.. everything you said about Greek life is true. People need to start researching stuff and be DISCRETE. This applies to PWIs as well!

[@imanbell2827]

“Just be yourself” “don’t come in trying to be something you’re not” “don’t judge people” I love all of this advice. I’m a senior this year.

[@TheNoturiousFaith]

Don't play yourself! This video was so great you should do more college advice videos like this

[@BrelynnHunt]

+MsFaithJay yay! More coming soon 😉

[@sarahtaysha983]

YOUR HAIR IS POPPIN 😍😍

[@BrelynnHunt]

+Sarah THANKS BAE 😘

[@sarahtaysha983]

BeautyandBrains5 np😊❤️❤️

[@BrelynnHunt]

Thanks for all the love and support you've given me on this video! If you found anything I said helpful, please take a minute to share it on twitter, facebook, or any of your social sites. It will really help the video reach new people and expand my audience! I'd really appreciate it! Love you all, Double Majors!

[@a.barrie]

Brelynn is going *OFF* I love it yesss give us the truth

[@BrelynnHunt]

+Abby Barrie yesssss so glad y'all love it!!

[@DoubleEdgeSword1908]

A lot of this applies to PWIs, especially if you go to a popular / larger one.

[@BrelynnHunt]

+Poised&Ambitious wow! Yay, that's great to hear!!

[@eagle2flyy1]

As a PROUD HBCU alum (SSU'15) you hit the nail on the head girl! Lord knows I kicked, screamed, cried and crawled to that stage but I made it! The struggles you experience at an HBCU definitely prepare you and your attitude for situations you'll experience in the real world.

[@BrelynnHunt]

+Valerie Blanks yayyy! I'm so happy! And yes that's how I feel going into my senior year. I'm scrawling to that stage, but I feel more prepared everyday. thanks for watching!

[@vlotious]

I'm an incoming freshman starting in a month, and I'm not going to an HBCU yet this is one of the most helpful videos I have watched. Thanks girl

[@BrelynnHunt]

+vlotious wow thank you! I'm glad to hear this! Good luck this year!

[@journeybeyondthesea]

Omg you’re from Maryland too yesss! I’m from silver Spring md 💕💕😂

[@BrelynnHunt]

Yassss hey boo!

[@HOPROPHETA]

Dr. Brelynn.....I think you just saved some young person's life and collegiate outlook! Thank you.

[@anyxb2548]

Omg I'm a Freshmen at Dillard and a Biology major and this really helped!! You are my new fav KZbinr I swear 🙏🏾

[@BrelynnHunt]

aww yayyyy!

[@jayladavis2000]

I'm an upcoming senior and this video has given me a ton of advice .. at first I wasn't for going to an HBCU Ive always been surrounded by different races in elementary and middle school but not I am really rethinking my decision because i am open to trying new thinks (changing my surroundings)..but either way I know wherever I will get a GREAT education!!💖😊

[@punkrocker2127]

Jayla Davis That’s me now. I want to go, but I’m hesitant

[@kristianarnell]

I love all of your videos (vlogs, hbcu advice, beauty, etc) and I wanted to let you know that you're such an inspiration to me and one of the main reasons I want to attend an HBCU. Thank you for being you and continuing to uplift others!

[@BrelynnHunt]

+Kristian Arnell yayy!!! Thank you soooo much!!!

[@shaunm6758]

Shout out because you're from the DMV. Found this video extremely entertaining and it made me reminisce about my days at my HBCU

[@SonicBoomC98]

Great advice. I definitely agree with tip on connecting people in your major and join clubs. I would say join one that matches an interest you have. I think people get a lot less homesick and overwhelmed by school when you have something else to bring you motivation and enjoyment. Just going to class and going back to the dorm will make you feel like it's not different than being in high school

[@nyjahbingham1757]

I love the way you turned your mirror into a vanity! That’s so creative 😍

[@Blackgirltries]

Dang girl I just graduated from an HBCU and you making me miss it already! All you said is so true and I do think going to an HBCU is a unique experience

[@kyra_myi]

Senior ? I swear it feels like you just started vlogging your college experience ! Time flew by enjoyed watching you grow !

[@ItsDejasWorld]

bethune cookman university grad here! wouldn't trade my experience for the world!

[@LuvvvyyyDuvvvyyy]

girllll university of maryland dorms are trash, my freshman year i had no elevators half the time and no ac. PWI's arent always sweet lol. but i don't even go to a hbcu and this video was informative/helped me. thanks brelynn! dont play yourself!

[@BrelynnHunt]

+Olamide Adewole that's fair! I just use UMD as my example PWI cause that's my state school *go terps* but I understand it's not all glamorous there either. I'm referring more to the stigma that PWIs have more up to date resources than PWIs. thank you for watching!

[@v.6661]

Yess! Preached thru the wholeee video😭. Future Spelmanite class of 22'😭

[@asantewah192]

I've been looking at Spelman youtubers and asked some people what are some good Spelman youtubers and they recommended you! Because your so consistent, so far I'm really loving your videos ! Sadly Spelman doesn't have my major ☹️ I'm a upcoming senior hoping to be HowardU'22. You really made me feel 10x better and confident about college because i often feel like I'm not on the college level yet. Like it's gonna be too hard cause AP classes were hard for me. But those quotes were EXTREMELY uplifting !!! Do you mind listing the quotes you saved on your phone you told throughout the video? Because they will be my go to ✨

[@JaMyiaTytiana]

this video was so well needed! i'll be a first time freshman at an hbcu in just 2 weeks. thanks girl!!!!

[@najaeratcliff2425]

Brelyn! I'm coming to Spelman in January I can't wait to finally meet you before you graduate! 😭💙

[@BrelynnHunt]

+Deaira R yayyyyy! I look forward to it!!

[@troliciajohnson2740]

This was so helpful,🤗 I’m a junior in high school and my college initiative person has been convincing me to go to an HBCU. I really want to go to one now that I’ve done months of research on them. All my life every school I attended was pw, and even though I do have a few good white friends, I lived in racist areas and it sucks being the only black girl in honor classes and having to deal with white people saying racist things during class. I want to attend a college where people can actually relate to me.

[@hazy5552]

You and me have the same mindset. I feel like an HBCU would bring me closer to a community I can relate to and hopefully feel more comfortable in.

[@askme4450]

I want to go to an hbcu because I’ve never grown up with people that look like me. My family doesn’t talk to each other so I have damn near. I expose to other black people. Also I’ve been raised around Mexican people my whole life so it would be pretty cool to see people that look like me to a degree.

[@livinthelife9625]

Brelynn, I love when you're videos are long and very descriptive. And thanks for the tips!

[@BrelynnHunt]

+livinthelife more long and in depth vids coming soon!

[@TheKLC1997]

Don`t play yourself! Thank you for this video!! Like I said before I am a junior and I just transferred to a HBCU from a PWI and did not know what to expect and this helped me alot!!

[@BrelynnHunt]

+TheKLC1997 yes!!! You're going to LOVE it! I'm glad I could help

[@AbundantlyT]

21:51 "Probably the Valedictorian is the guy" LOL 😂🤣🤣

[@BrelynnHunt]

+T Jordan haha just kiddingggggg

[@ambercurtis5926]

Thank you so much for this! I have been a beauty and brain's sub for a long time, and I just got accepted to Fisk University! This is needed!💛💙

[@BrelynnHunt]

Congrats!!!! Good luck

[@allthingsbeautiful_]

Thanks for being so real. Although I'm going to a PWI I still understand everything you're saying.

[@cutebree13]

As a rising senior myself at my college I just want to say you hit every point on the head! Even though I don't go to a HBCU all of this applies and it's they same things I talk to my friends about

[@memyselfandlife1]

CAN WE PLEASE JUST GET A CLIP OF 20:40-20:55 THAT NEEDS TO BE REPOSTED EVERYWHERE !!!!!!!!😫😫❤️

It’s amazing I seen this video way before going to my hbcu I’m now a Sophmore at Howard University & the part that stood Out to me the most was feeling pressured to be perfect because that’s currently my situation especially because I was expecting to be on campus but we can’t cause of the pandemic now I’m stressing over completing goals & wanting to be successful or not being successful enough 🥴

[@BrelynnHunt]

Yay!! Glad to hear. 😘♥️

[@s-wo8781]

Thinking about going back to school for a master's and thinking about a HBCU. I am concerned if it's just going to be the same thing again with me social-wise. I went to a PWI, but it still had a ton of black people there. In some of your classes you might be the only ones, but walking around campus and when events popped off there are a lot of black folks around. I had trouble with making friends and getting girls during my time there. I sort of fear that if I go back especially being as old as I am, I'll still have issues with getting a girlfriend.

[@AjaiBrownJaisCloset]

I LOVE YOUR ROOM!!!

[@BrelynnHunt]

+Ajai Brown thanks boo

[@JasiaRobinson]

Lmao the description "Don't play yourself" 😂

[@laurynwhitfield2748]

I like when you make videos like this!

[@aaliyahmarti7940]

in confused about greek life. why can’t you tell people about it? what’s there to be afraid of?

[@BrelynnHunt]

Overall the entire process is supposed to be discrete. So if you let non-members know, they can release that information in ways that may not benefit you. The members only like it when your name is associated with their organization when you’re officially apart of it, not aspiring to be. Also, people can sabotage you if they feel intimidated by you or if they want to be hateful because the becoming a member is competitive. However, you can let members of the organization know that you’re interested in their org. if you want, you can say you’re interested in overall Greek life, but you should not give out specifics, simply because other ppl may not have good intentions

[@fairysunflowermaid]

I'm not sure why "rinky dinky dorms" made me laugh so hard😂😂😂😂😩

[@abigailr.7487]

My mom won't even let me apply to an HBCU 😭😭😭

[@BrelynnHunt]

Aw man that’s a shame

[@iamjadarenee]

Loved this video!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@BrelynnHunt]

+iam jadarenee yay! thanks for watching! ♥️😘😘😘

[@J0IJ0IJ0I]

Question. What if you're affeliated (spelled that wrong probably) with a Greek organization's high school group? I'm the president of mine and I want to pledge but should I delete the things off of my account that reps that organization?

[@chance33]

12:53 Is so true, AUC will throw a party for anything #Morehouse21

[@BrelynnHunt]

haha you know how it is! lol thanks for watching!

[@GoddessKry]

So true they act like some pwi don't be having ugly dorms too

[@BrelynnHunt]

+BuBBles602! Yesss ya feel me?! Haha

[@grayscar05]

Not all HBCUs are party schools .... Paul Quinn, Oakwood, Tougaloo ... just to name a few

[@Kissmycrown]

Jss Pss oakwood is a weird af

[@grayscar05]

Shikeereya Smith True True ... religious cult but not a party school which is my point

[@Kissmycrown]

Jss Pss I thought I was the only one who felt like this I go to A&M they drinking the kool aid over there
