Sooo I've been thinking about going to an HBCU, and I'm from Florida. What HBCUs are in Florida, and does anyone have any personal experiences they'd be willing to share? Looking to hear about social life, academics, and if the investment is worth it!
Hey there! Florida has several HBCUs, including Florida A&M University (FAMU) in Tallahassee, Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona Beach, Edward Waters College in Jacksonville, and Florida Memorial University in Miami Gardens.
Generally speaking, students report that the sense of community and support at these institutions is strong, and they thrive academically. The social life is also often vibrant, with lots of campus events and Greek life activities.
As for the investment, students often feel that the cultural enrichment and networking opportunities make it wholly worth it. Keep in mind that each person's experience is unique, so I definitely recommend visiting the campuses, if possible, to get a feel for the environment that suits you best!
