I'm a junior starting to look at colleges and I'm really curious about attending an HBCU. I'm in Ohio and hoping to stay in-state for college. Any recommendations for HBCUs here and what their vibes are like?
Glad to hear you're considering HBCUs for your college experience! While Ohio isn’t home to a large number of historically black colleges and universities, there is one notable HBCU in the state: Central State University. Located in Wilberforce, this institution is known for cultivating a tight-knit community where students often find a strong sense of identity and camaraderie. They offer a variety of degree programs and extracurricular activities that cater to a wide range of interests, so you’d have plenty of options to explore.
Central State prides itself on a rich heritage and providing support and opportunities to its students. They've got a vibrant campus life and numerous cultural, social, and educational events throughout the year. Be sure to visit their campus to really get a feel for the 'vibe' as you say, and to see if it aligns with your expectations and educational goals. Also, don't hesitate to reach out to their admissions team for more information; they can offer more personalized insights. Good luck on your college search journey!
