My College: Howard University Location: Washington, D.C.

1) Getting In (how good do your gradeshave to be, what test do you need to take and how do you need to do, how much does the school cost, how is their financial aid?):
To get in to Howard University, your grades have to be above average. 56% of the students that apply get accepted. You need to take two test. The SAT (SAT-CR 440-680, M 430-680) and the ACT ( ACT- 20-29). The tuition to go to Howard University cost about $35,000. The only thing I dislike about Howard is it only covers 43% of financial aid.

I give this category of the school 4 out of 5 stars

2) Academics (majors the school has, class size, access to professors, special programs, study abroad):
Howard University has over 50 majors. There majors include things in Arts, Education (teaching), Science, Architecture and Engineering. Howard's strongest programs are Biology, Psychology, Business, History, Communications. The class size is 19:1 student to staff ratio. That's really small for it to be a college class! Howard does have a study abroad program. Students have access to professors by e-mail, and after school help.

I give this category of the school a 4.5 out of 5 stars because the more majors thta give me my degree is the better.

3) Student Life (social life at the school, housing, fraternities and sororities, sports):
The student social life should be wonderful considering how many students go there. Howard University's population is around 10,000 students. The housing in Howard is very interesting. 92% of all first year students live on campus, but, 55% of all undergraduates live on campus. Howard does have fraternities and sororities. This would be good for learning the act of sister and brotherhood and creating a bond between male and female sexes. Almost all of Howard's sports are involved in NCAA Division l. This would be wonderful for getting recognize in sports because scouts always look at Division l before any other Division. Only 7 of Howard's 20 sports are not involved with NCAA Div. l.

I give this category of the school a 5 out of 5 stars because i love sports and to get looked at first will help my career.

4) My comfort level ( getting back and forth, demographics, setting)
Getting back and forth to Howard University is no problem at all. The distance between my address and Howard's location is 232 miles, and that would take me 4 hours and 31 minutes. Howard is in Washington, D.C. The reason why I liked this is because its is closer than going to upstate New York.

I give this category of the school a 4.5 out of 5 stars beacause it is close but the thought of traveling is a hassle.
