Hello folks! I'm in my junior year in Ohio, and I'm really eager to learn more about HBCUs nearby. I wanna get a sense of which ones are accessible from Ohio, and what the student experience and academics are like there. Can anyone share their thoughts or experiences?
Hey there! I totally get your excitement about exploring HBCUs. My own child considered several HBCUs before making a choice, and we found that visiting campuses was a huge help in getting a feel for student life. From Ohio, you've got some options like Central State University right in Ohio, or Howard University in D.C., which is a bit of a trek but definitely worth considering for its vibrant student life and strong academics. Another one to check out is Kentucky State University; it's not too far and has a great sense of community. We also looked into Wilberforce University, which is known for its intimate campus experience. I'd recommend reaching out to admissions offices to see if you can chat with current students or attend a virtual information session – it provides a wealth of info on what to expect academically and socially. Best of luck with your search!
