[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for the suggestions. To clarify, I am not ruling out an HBCU (despite my own bad experience), rather I am trying to convince my son that he should also look at non-HBCU schools. I think he could get into UVA, but unfortunately, I have not heard positive news about the lives of the black students there. I will check out some of the suggestions here (e.g the Meyerhoff Scholars program at UMBC, Temple, VCU).[/quote] OP just want to say, don't discount your own feelings/experience/gut. The posts here trying to devalue that are very offensive, IMHO. We all have college experiences which inform the advice we give our kids. OP is entitled to the same without DCUMers chiding her, "No, dear, HBCUs are amazing!!!" She went to one. She knows what it was like and how she was affected and has valid opinions. [/quote]
