Understanding HBCU Options

Hi! Does anyone have experience with Paul Quinn College? I'm looking into HBCUs and would like some insights into what sets Paul Quinn apart from other HBCUs.

Hi there! What sets it apart, in his view, is its strong focus on community service and leadership. Paul Quinn has the unique 'Work Program,' which integrates work experience into every student's learning plan. This not only provides valuable real-world exposure but also helps in reducing student debt since earnings can go toward tuition. While it's a smaller college, it seems to offer a very tight-knit community, which could be a good fit if you're looking for a more personalized college experience. Additionally, Paul Quinn is known for turning around its history and reinventing itself as an institution focused on resolving issues faced by the urban community. The college's dedication to student success and community engagement might be compelling points if these are important to you. If you get the chance, visiting the campus and speaking to current students might give you the best insight into whether it's the right fit for you. Best of luck with your college search!
