PWI vs. HBCU | UCLA vs. Howard 

HBCU or PWI it's just awesome to see well spoken and educated black people representing 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I'm so proud

"illustrious" you better introduce your institution!!! hahahha

He was so accurate with his comment on diversity in a HBCU vs PWI 🙌🏾 Black people come from everywhere

Howard needs to sponsor him or something 😭

I went to a PWI, and now I wish I would’ve gone to an HBCU. White is not always right....the Ivys are probably worth it. The list of amazing grads from HBCUs such as Howard, Spelman, and Morehouse are long and plentiful. Looking back, as a Psychology major/ Spanish minor, I would go to college where I was supported (not just constantly having to prove myself and go at it pretty much alone), go to the school that offered me the most money, and NOT have majored in anything humanities/social science -related! Lol Great review. Thanks for sharing! :) And yes our dorms and dining hall were amazing at my PWI :)

She is ignorant. Most African Americans spent the majority of their studies at PWI's and have had enough of "the real world". FYI, the real world is 2/3 people of color. I went to Cal and by the time I was a Sophomore majoring in Biology, I was ready to transfer because of the negative stigmas associated with being an African American male on campus. No, I'm not an athlete. No, I didn't get in because of Affirmative Action etc. The BSU was a grouping of black kids trying hard to keep it together and it felt like us against them all the time. The meetings and events seemed forced and almost unnatural. It often felt militant. At Howard, their was no dominant opposition or grand campus issues we had to fight against. Mettings (there was no need for a BSU so Frat. , social , community, healthcare, iintramural clubs were relaxed and productive and always fun. I didn't transfer after Soph. year, but finished my DDS at HUCD, and the experience was one of the best if not the best experience of my life! Worked hard and partied with my peers, some of which were genius level individuals. It felt like the home most of us never had and only witnessed on TV with the Cosby show. Most instructors felt like uncles, aunties, and/or nurturing parents. I finally got to feel what white kids feel when they hang out with professors and not only receive information on a course that one is taking but a meaningful nugget of wisdom that is always on point and could possibly change the course of one's life path. The type of information that is withheld in a PWI, or is geared towards white kids. It was great to feel as if a professor, counselor, receptionist, or staff see you as family. Often times seeing themselves in you many years prior and having the perfect formula and advice on how to be successful either through personal success or shortcomings.

I applaude both of your takes on your experiences. I received my BS at a PWI. The experience was great, but believe me, the black pop was small and we stuck together. The Greek network was a good help, but I was active in dance and other clubs first so I had friends of all kind. I received my JD from an HBCU, and that experience was different and I felt I had to adapt, it was "lit", but I didn't get to share in that experience bc my focus was different. I would have been lost at my HBCU if I had went there first. The amenities, I must admit, were better at my PWI. I had to prepare my son as he chose an HBCU. I told him to be ready, because your lifestyle will be different. The dorms and facilities were horrible, but the education is just as good...but he wants to transfer one month into his first year. CULTURE SHOCK!

HU!! YOU KNOW!!!!

Best PWI Vs. HBCU video I’ve come across on Yt yet 💙 well organized, spoken, informed, well represented !

Five years deep & it's my first time, watching you guys. Both of ya'll were really informative & interesting. So much thanks from ATP here in Ln, in the UK 😁✌🏾

nonblack person here just getting some insight. well done! ps: Go Bruins!! I'll be joining the family next fall!!

I can’t the way he turned his head towards you was funny 😂😂

Why my guy look like a black John Green???? LMAOOooo

As a young black woman consider PWIs (Salisbury, Old Dominion, Seton Hall, Albright) and HBCUs (Howard, Spelman, Hampton, Clark, Morgan) I found this video disappointing. Even though I don't attend a HBCU yet, I feel as if she believes a lot of negative stereotypes about HBCUs. Idk.

Totally off topic but when he turns his head to the side he looks like Kyle from 'Living Single '

TBH I'm going to be Sophomore in HS 😂😂 but my sister going to college this and honestly I just love watching videos like these are so awesome and cool to learn about Plus see young educated black students makes it even better and I want to be apart of when I go to college

This was awesome! Currently deciding between the University of Dayton and Tennessee State.

I loved this video it was so good

Im so proud i might go to a HBCU

HBCU Pride #RustCollege

HU is also a D1 sports program. Not as large as UCLA obviously, but D1 nonetheless

His hair is so cool

As a grad from Howard and currently attending USC for grad school, if anyone has any questions from someone with both perspectives, I'm open to answer questions.

She is pretty

Owner of this channel is beautiful asf! 😍😍😍

I hear "I don't want to get blacklisted" on every video about college. WHAT DOES IT MEAN😭

I'm currently at a PWI and I'm deciding between transferring to a neighboring HBCU, the illustrious North Carolina A&T State University for Meteorology, or UNC Charlotte. Both are amazing schools, but my fear is that I'm not going to fit in at an HBCU (personality clashes). How did you manage to fit in at an HBCU?

Come on my people we need more stem degrees.

So Howard it is... Thanx !

It's 2022 how has your degree from the respective institution been beneficial or detrimental.

Well...UCLA is almost a P.A.I....Predominately Asian Institution.....so right of the bat, the comparison is off.....but I'll watch till lol

Are you guys twins? P.s. loved the video

This video is such a disappointment. Rather than debate the differences between an HBCU and PWI, I would have appreciated you all talking about why you chose the University you chose and the impact it has had on your leadership development. I am a proud HBCU alum of Virginia State University who is prideful of my Florida State University Master's Degree and University of Southern California Doctoral degree...all of these experiences have shaped my life, but I would never disrespect any of the schools. Please do more research and don't fall into the trap of downing HBCU's. You both are too intelligent to take part in this type of slander.

The football game is a social experience.

UCLA!

Dope!!! Check out our web series, as well as our college tour!

What hair gel do you use ?

What sorority??

I'm a graduate from Howard University and all my family went to a HBCU school and I ask myself why go somewhere you have prove yourself all the time that can be exhausted. Come home HBCU. ..

UM EXCUSE ME...WHAT IS THIS I HEAR ABOUT SOCIOLOGY AND NOT BROADCAST OR FILM?!

My daughter attends UCLA.

HU!!

You Did not mention the band that's the difference.

African-American population at UCLA is only 4% as, you see how this sistah socially engineer her statements in how her school functions

TNT... was your nose stopped up during this video? :)

so basically- at PWI its nice physical atmosphere, more ignorant ass bigot, racist and insensitive comments thrown at u- than a little bit, food is good. at hbcu its rich culture, but still lots of misunderstanding from those trying to identify what it means to be black... and the food is- takeout.

yea, there are black people from the hood, there are black people from the suburbs, black people from the carbbians, black people from Africa, but bottom line they are all black. Very few Latino, Asian, or White in Howard.

Hey, Hope we can support each other.

Are you two family, dating, whose house? Good video presentation but girl u r congested like crazy...

UMM, WHY ARE YOU ALL COMPARING A PWI WITH A MULTI BILLION DOLLAR ENDOWMENT, WITH ANY HBCU? YOU HAVE TO COMPARE, COMPARABLE INSTITUTIONS.

Not true about Howard

I never had rats and roaches in my room. But I've seen rats on the streets in DC.

Another hellenized sista... Smh

I beat u you no black guy at Howard is willing to learn how cook. They except the woman to cook and clean, I learned that from most black men, from where ever they are from. Haiti, Jamaica, America, Africa, even England.

Howard University build Executive Black men for the Corporate world; or even branch him into his own business. A PWI would make a servant black man for the Corporate world. HBCU's is up and personal, and with hands on approach to the game. PWI's is like the crabs in the bucket for young, black males. the ONLY BENEFIT THEY GET is the quality of the school's name. I've seen it numerous of times. Look at the image of P.Diddy for example. And compare that to black men who made THEIR OWN money graduating from a PWI.

UC is a horrible experience for Jews. Pass if at all possible...
