What's the student population at Howard University?

I'm considering applying to Howard University and I'm curious about the student population there. How many students are typically enrolled? Does it feel like a large campus or more close-knit?

Howard University, located in Washington D.C., is a medium-sized private school with a total enrollment of about 10,000 students, which includes both undergraduates and graduate students. This size is quite manageable and promotes a sense of close-knit community while also providing the diversity and resources of a larger school.

This situates Howard in an interesting position: it's not overwhelmingly large that you feel lost, but it's also not small to the point where you feel limited. This balance allows for better interaction and engagement between students, faculty and staff, making the community feel more connected. Howard's rich culture and history also contribute greatly to a unique, strong sense of community on campus.

However, your personal experience will strongly depend on what you're looking for in your college experience. I recommend visiting the campus or attending virtual tours or online events if possible to get a better feel for the campus culture. It’s also advised to get in touch with current students or alumni to hear about their experiences.
