[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I loved my experience at a black college that was close to home  but wonder what life would be like had I gone Ivy instead of turning them down due to being uncomfortable with moving so far away from home and my desire to experience not being a minority for a change.   The college I chose did do wonders for my self confidence and was a nurturing place to grow into an adult and fostered pride I never had before in being Black.   I know that was invaluable in shaping who I am today but I still always wonder ....what if.[/quote]

On the flip side, I sometimes wish I had gone to an HBCU for the exact reasons you mentioned.  Those grads exude a sense of confidence and poise that has always impressed me.  They also take such pride in their alma mater - returning for Homecoming etc, whereas I haven't stepped foot on my campus since I graduated.    [/quote]

I am another PROUD HBCU graduate.
Scores of my college friends are doctors, lawyers, corporate execs, SAHM, artists, business owners,etc.
They are doing the same things their Ivy Leageu counterparts are doing -- LOTS OF DIFFERENT THINGS.
I am not where I intended or where I want to be right now -- but life is what you make it.
I am here because of the SUM of the choices I made -- just like everyone else.
I don't get the obsession with the Ivy League in this area -- it's not a MAGIC BULLET!
It can be a nice start for some -- but it's not going ti guarntee you yur dream life.[/quote]
