HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS: WHAT SCHOOLS ARE YOU INTERESTED IN ATTENDING? COLLEGE STUDENTS/GRADS: WHAT WERE SOME PROS AND CONS OF YOUR HBCU OR PWI EXPERIENCE?

[@thatthingyouseeatthecorner5249]

Joi Wade Emory University, Georgia Tech, Agnes Scott, etc

[@kaylalanece]

High School: I’m attending The Ohio State University this fall!

[@ayannamarie123]

Pepperdine U. Have you heard anything about Pepp students ?

[@jackeetasmith4172]

Old dominion university. Whoop whoop !!

[@whyspeakthings2733]

I wish I was going to a HBCU. but I’m going to a PWI

[@kynsley1890]

"If you're black and in college, you are doing something!" Amen to that! Good job y'all.. And much success to you both! #fortheculture

[@endiyagriffin4749]

She said “the real HU”. I’m deceased. HU- You know 😂

[@zioncochran5399]

i can only imagine how high ur gpa was to get a full ride to usc because whewwwee

[@sashacooke263]

@Ashok Hegde Actually, the black students who make it into very elite universities are much more well rounded and smarter than Asian and white students.

[@sashacooke263]

@Ashok Hegde Study American history. Blacks such as this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percy_Lavon_Julian who had much higher abilities and skills were barred from admittance to top schools.

[@sashacooke263]

@David f It was relatively common for white universities in America to deny admission to high achieving black Americans on the basis of RACE/skin color. What part of this don't you understand? Most Black Americans who wanted to get a college education had little to no options (prior to the creation of historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). HBCUs in America were created solely for the purpose of allowing black Americans to receive a college education. This is American history 101.

[@hopeful_elect]

Ashok Hegde. Affirmative action is in place because for hundreds of years my people have been mistreated and barred from entering certain colleges.

[@LLJones21220]

Well done ladies. I have had the pleasure of going to an PWI and graduating from a HBCU. My experience with a PWI was University of Maryland College Park. The pros and cons for the PWI were very similar but I didn't reach out the the AA support groups and eventually left. My HBCU experience led me to Morgan State University. ALL HU pros and cons are the exact same thing. Morgan State University class of 2010 for my BS and 2018 for my Masters. No matter where you go that paper is the most important thing in life. They can't take your education away from you.

[@alexwallace2255]

As a Black Pennsylvania girl at an all white school I understand everything in this video! Thank you for making it

[@joiwade_]

For sure!!!

[@diva70smusic]

Full tuition is the best pro ever! I went to Hampton Institute fully supported with scholarships and federal grants for 4 years. This was in 1976-1980. Thank you God!!

[@joiwade_]

Congrats!

[@spectraphantom9374]

[@mercedes5402]

I’m only gonna be a freshman in highschool so this might change but my top choices are (1. North Carolina A&T State University (2. Howard University (3. Hampton University

[@289dancer]

Yoedgesburnt those are GREAT selections! Id also recommend for your top #4 to include Xavier University in Louisiana. It has several #1 national rankings for African Americans in STEM and has been featured on news stations, the Doctors, Married to Medicine, etc. Www.xula.edu

[@tee415y510]

I see this is from a couple of years ago, but I think it's still relevant and informative. Our 16 year old daughter is strongly considering an HBCU. We live in CA, so she's going to have to leave the state 😩, but if she goes, I know she'll be fine and have a great experience. Hugs to you my young sisters! Great job!

[@mivuyolithakazimatai483]

Wassup! All the way from Nelson Mandela University, South Africa

[@joiwade_]

wassuppp!

[@amandafaku924]

eyyyyy same University

[@pushenboundaries6462]

Your commentary was extremely insightful! I referenced you, ladies, on my podcast.

[@laonahall7047]

This is so ironic because my number one choice was USC, but I didn’t get in and ended up at Hampton, the REAL HU. I can honestly say God lead me in the perfect direction for me. This video was great, I really enjoyed it considering I had previously thought of the pros and cons of that PWI, and I’m experiencing the ones at that HBCU.

[@jaym6367]

PLEASE TEACH US TO FINESSE USC

[@j5sweetielhdc7]

This is very informative

[@taliachristian7519]

Y'all are so beautiful inside and out! Love this video (:

[@croweziec]

Very informative.

[@afrothrive]

Girl you are so right about finessing funds. I could work on that to be honest. I also went to a predominantly white high school in MA and now I'm at a PWI in SoCal.

[@joiwade_]

What school?!

[@afrothrive]

pomona college

[@The64v]

I went to a predominantly asian college. UC Irvine was 56.4% APA.

[@aishamohammed8005]

I love you soo much and your videos inspire me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@joiwade_]

Thanks so much for watching! Any video requests?

[@aishamohammed8005]

Yes I do have! Could you please do a video on what to pack for college. I am a going into my first year in US as an international student. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!

[@TerrenceGrundyTV]

Wait a min was that drums n da background lol

[@leyenda6149]

What are effective ways to hustle for different kinds of scholarships and grants?

[@XavierQuin]

Onyx12 at the Real HU next semester... Can't wait

[@Stunna8711]

I go to a PWI I'm a senior at Syracuse University. Pros- Alumni base is amazing great connections and study abroad program the best Cons- middle of no where and no support for transfer students

[@princediop8190]

Syracuse is my dream school! Would you mind telling me how the black population is like over there? Are there a lot of black students, or any black student union?

[@Stunna8711]

p.d d.p the black population here is big enough where we have many student orgs! Like black reign step team it's the best dance group on campus. If your Black of Caribbean event the communtiy here is great! We got flag day party in Sky barn, we also did a die in march for BLM movement and also the black Greek orgs do many events and we also have black graduation. It's small but it's large enough where you can create your own communtiy. Although it gets cliquey. If you can provide your email I can answer any questions!! SZA Came for Mayfest Hope you get into ’Cuse🍊🍊 🤗

[@KD-CD]

I'm from DC so Howard is a huge deal but my older sister went to Penn State and decided to stay in Pennsylvania. I'm also interested in going to school in Pennsylvania. I'm into Criminal Justice with a minor in Arabic Studies and some of my top choices are UPenn, Harvard, George Mason, American University, NCCU, and Northeastern

[@JennsCrazyLife]

I REALLY want to go to USC. 😍❤️

[@joiwade_]

Woo! What grade are you in?

[@mixedrapunzels9969]

Thanks for this video!

[@joiwade_]

Thanks so much for watching! Any video requests?

[@elizajanay]

deciding between hampton and spelman

[@TerrenceGrundyTV]

I felt that way every summer when I came home. I would look at ppl like what is wrong with y'all lol

[@clAssIcAllymINdless]

Do you have any advice for finessing money from your school once you are already in college?

[@Singer123447]

look into working on campus

[@Lovembgill143]

My top 3 schools are 1. Georgia State 2. Howard university 3. Grambling university

[@melanatedsunflower1773]

tyiagill went to Grambling best days of my life

[@hankydoodle1000]

Hey nice video! Can I ask y'all which universities you got accepted to? and I thought your facial expressions were cute btw

[@joiwade_]

We say them in the video.

[@hankydoodle1000]

You just mention which ones you applied to but not in which you all got accepted to. Unless I'm trippin

[@emeraldthecreator1578]

Some schools I've been considering include Berkeley, Chapel Hill, NC State, NC Central, and none other than Howard University. This debate got me to thinking about it again, and, I'm still kinda conflicted lol. I think I may end up going to Howard because I have really good academics, and I could probably get a full-ride or close to it there. But, on the other hand, I think it would also be important for me to go to an institution with a more balanced composition of students as to better prepare myself for the real world.

[@virgofromthe954]

ugh, soml! it's so conflicting!

[@289dancer]

emerald, the creator there is nothing balanced about institutionalized racism. Attending an HBCU gives you the one time in life to experience being a majority and being able to focus on your endeavors without skin tone or phenotype being a constant factor in how people treat you. HBCUs prepare you for the real world by giving you unique tools and confidence and celebrating your afro roots so when you work you recognize microaggressions and conduct yourself accordingly. There is nothing unreal about HBCU and you can study abroad for a semester at most of them to get experience with different races. Also, there are HBCUs that are not 100% black.

[@SunKiJaykeHeeSungWon]

Where did you end up going if you don’t mind me asking? And wherever you went, did you like the decision you made?

[@serenitylofiiii]

I'm considering ASU

[@thatthingyouseeatthecorner5249]

When do you recommend high school students start applying for college?

[@dominiquelauren5579]

That Thing You See At The Corner Of Your Eye You technically can't apply till your a senior in high school, but you can't start researching and visiting colleges at any age! Hope this helps! Godbless

[@thatthingyouseeatthecorner5249]

Dominique Hale Thanks!

[@chergil802]

I attended Hampton when it was Hampton Institute and Howard was Howard University then Hampton Institute became Hampton University in the 1990s while Howard was a University from 1870 to present; therefore the REAL HU IS HOWARD UNIVERSITY so Pirates, stop the silliness!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@luceannhitchman7480]

Yes ladies Howard is the real HU

[@mrbrainchild7637]

Actually Hampton became Hampton University in the '80s not the '90s but either way you're still right that Howard has been Howard University since the 1800s.

[@TerrenceGrundyTV]

Yes the run around is truth #pvnation Prairie View A&M University

[@americanprincess851]

Still, I thought that PV had improved since being placed under A&M umbrella.

[@jaychadwick231]

can u make a video on how to finesse?

Finesse what?

How to finesse an institution, the legal way.

[@Natureboypkr2]

I went to a PWI and I enjoyed every moment of it. I really appreciated being able to meet and make friends from around the world, and also the career opportunities after graduation.

[@joiwade_]

Which school did you attend?

[@Natureboypkr2]

Univ of North Carolina

[@laneecooper4259]

I'm thinking about going FAMU (Florida agricultural and mechanical univeristy🐍). I'm from Pensacola, Florida and Ik that I want to go to an HBCU and I don't want to be too far from home but definetly don't want to be in my home city. We have PSC (Pensacola State college) and UWF (University of West Florida) and some other minor colleges but those are PWIs and were automatically crossed out my list of choices since they're not Hbcus and are in my home city.

[@289dancer]

Lanee Cooper check out Xavier University of Louisiana! Only a quick flight from home and a nationally ranked school. Www.xula.edu

[@Simone-jf8mx]

We alllll know who the REAL HU is 😂😂😂😂 Howardd😘

[@NdubuisiEmmanuel]

PWI not USC

[@melissacharles8410]

How’s colorism at the HBCU

[@theblackmamba9698]

Justin Credible black on black colorism is way more common than white on black

[@289dancer]

Melissa Charles depends on the HBCU. I honestly didnt experience any at www.xula.edu and historically, the state has a history. But campus life is equally accessible to all skin tones.

[@dialdelaney5343]

Antiquated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dialdelaney5343]

HBCU do take you all over the place to get something done. I went to college in the 80's.

[@tb14333]

I go to neither. My school is pretty diverse. The white population does out number the black population but I dont feel uncomfortable because I'm surrounded by many other races. Hawaii is full of minorities and has the least amount of white people in the US. I honestly see more European students(people from Norway) at my school than anything when it comes to skin color.

[@4evermakup07]

Tatiana Brittian if it’s not an HBCU, it’s a PWI. I’m pretty sure, not trying to be slick but i honestly think that’s how it works. Bc at a time during segregation black ppl couldn’t be enrolled in those schools.

[@tb14333]

My school is in Hawaii and was founded after segregation ended

[@dajaharvey129]

Tatiana Brittian that doesn’t mean anything , it’s a PWI still

[@tb14333]

Daja Harvey According to that last person that commented, a PWI was a school during segregation

[@dajaharvey129]

Tatiana Brittian okay and they’re wrong

[@vaitahace]

I transferred from A PWI to a HBCU! Best decision ever….!

[@risingstars3478]

hate comment 😉

[@Konita_YT]

*hate comment*

[@musicobx101]

I LOVE your videos but I think you can work on your facial expressions. They tend to be very blank and like no excitement or anything. Studies have shown that it’s harder for people to relate or like someone who in front of the camera doesn’t have wide range of facial expressions to emote. I think if you work on that you’ll get way more subscribers bc you deserve so many. I really hope this isn’t coming off as hate bc I do not want it to be hate, just some advice bc I think you’re an amazing KZbinr.

[@thatthingyouseeatthecorner5249]

musicobx101 I would rather see someone with genuine expressions/emotions rather than forced happiness like this is a dang kids channel.

[@XXXdalt64XXX]

Pls gtfo and let her run her channel and her own god damn FACIAL EXPRESSIONS on her own. Thank you
