[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are 3000+ 4 year colleges.

Cool. To most parents, that number is meaningless. [b]No parent in this area is considering Philander Smith University[/b] for their kid, along with 3,750 of those 4,000[/quote]
People really tell on themselves when they make comments like this! SO many students in the area attend HBCUs. I think you probably meant to say "no white UMC person living in Bethesda is considering Philander Smith University for their kid," but like...Black people exist. Non-UMC people exist. Maybe not in your little microcosm of "this area", but alas. [/quote]

I'd never heard of Philander Smith, but I see USNWR ranks it #55 on their HBCU list, and it's located in Little Rock, and has about 800 students total. (And yes, USNWR listings are highly flawed, but they do give some information. For reference, UDC - which people around here are more likely to be familiar with - is ranked #24.) Unless you have some connection to Arkansas or the school, it's very unlikely that someone would anyone travel from DC to go there. Spelman or Morehouse, sure. But are you or anyone you know really considering a tiny, academically undistinguished school in Arkansas?
