painful... Question: Attending a traditionally black university-I'm white.?
I'm thinking of attending a traditionally black university that is close to home. The thing is though that I am white. Is there anyone out there who attended a traditionally black university that can tell me whether or not it would be totally abnormal to have a white guy go to this school? I have no racial prejudices, but I understand that some people do so I was just curious about it. By the way, the school is Jackson State University in Jackson, Mississippi. Oh, and by the way if you don't know what you are talking about or you are just wanting to be a jerk, this really is a "historically black public institution of higher learning". I am not just saying it is black because all the students are black or anything. This is what the school is advertising itself as.

Hi AlitaCeres, It actually looks like you are a part of a whole new trend of White students choosing to attend an HIBMCU. In fact, due to their quality programs becoming so very well-known, some of the HIBMCUs have become so very popular with White students that they now a White student enrollment ratio which is so large that the schools no longer even have a predominant student population consisting of People-Of-Color (whether Black, Latino, Amerindian, Multiracial, Asian, etc.). The links listed below have even more information on this new trend. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Generation-Mixed/message/2470 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Generation-Mixed/message/1923 Apparently, in addition to quality academic programs, another nice feature of the HIBMCUs is that they are also known for being very welcoming to students of any race -- and also work to keep their Ethnic and Cultural traditions of the given college or university as an important part of the overall institution. Hope you find this message to be of interest / encouragement. Have a great day!! .

I assume you are refering to the quality of education. For one school to be better than another, the availability and facilities for the program you wish to persue make the difference. The quality of education is what you put into it.
