Yo, anyone got a rundown on the HBCUs in Texas? I’m trying to figure out which ones offer the best programs for STEM fields but also have a good social scene. If you're at one or know someone who is, what's been your experience with the culture and academic rigor there?
Hey there! Prairie View A&M University, which is one of the HBCUs in Texas, has a strong reputation, especially in engineering programs, which sounds like it could align well with your interest in STEM. The social scene is also vibrant with Greek life, clubs, and various campus activities that reflect a tight-knit community.
As for other HBCUs, Texas Southern University in Houston is notable for its research and has several STEM fields to explore. It might be helpful to look at their specific STEM department's resources, faculty qualifications, and research opportunities to get a feel for both their overall academic rigor and how their offerings align with your own more specific interests within STEM.
Also, consider reaching out to current students or alumni for their personal experiences. And visiting the campuses, if possible, can give you the best sense of all of the community and academic life as well. Good luck with your college search!
