Hello friends! I'm in the process of researching colleges and I've got a unique situation - I have a child and I'm looking at HBCUs that can accommodate us both. Does anyone know any HBCUs that offer family housing for students? Any personal experiences with family housing on campus would be super helpful!
Hey there! One of the HBCUs known for offering family housing is Howard University with their 'East Towers Residence Hall.' You may also want to check out Southern University and A&M College—they offer family housing through 'University Apartments.' Finally, Florida A&M University (FAMU) offers 'Palmetto Phase III' apartments for students with families.
If you're considering any HBCUs that aren't listed here, it's a good idea to reach out to their housing or residential life office directly, as they may have support for students with families beyond what's obvious on their website. They can also give you the most current information on availability, pricing, and application procedures for family housing.
Overall, many HBCUs are very accommodating and understand the needs of students with children. Wishing you all the best in your search, and I hope you find the perfect place for you and your child!
