Howard University Reviews

"Howard University School of Law provides students with a quality education. The faculty are experts in their field of study, whom are willing to help student success. The Department of Career services is diligent in working with student to assist in obtaining they jobs in the area they wish to practice. As an incoming 1L, I've already met with faculty and career services to discuss my goals for my future practice as an attorney."

"Although I majored in a concentration writing, the Division of Fine Arts, my matriculation was well rounded with the diverse options I had in my general education courses. With a minor in Journalism, I quickly learned how great of a city D.C. is for any aspiring writer, reporter AND performing artist."

"My overall experience at Howard University was amazing! The amount of networking opportunities that students are awarded allow the university to stand out among others. Aside from the networking opportunities, my favorite aspect of Howard University is by-far the tight-knit community between faculty and students."

"I am thoroughly satisfied with the on-hand experience that I gained while pursuing the Master of Fine Arts Degree at Howard University. The professors provide real world experience and projects from their careers and prepare students with training necessary for the vast potential of career options. The full scope of projects are explored from the research phase, collaboration, design, print & finishing at the presentation phase. I've seen many students graduate from other institutions with only knowledge or expertise in a few of these fields, whereas here you gain the experience in all areas. You will start a position ahead of the curve or start your own business with full confidence. You will also be provided with the resources needed while being held accountable to the level needed to prove your mastery in the field."

"My college was a great collection of creative and smart students. It's location in Washington, DC provided numerous opportunities to connect study to its practical application to work in the form of internships and externships. The school provided a robust and active student activities office."

"I am a current graduate student at Howard University and overall, I am satisfied with Howard University overall. The curriculum is pretty intense, but I do feel that I learn a lot and will be prepared for my career upon graduation. Professors give great instruction and truly want to help students to make sure they succeed academically. Although I enjoy attending Howard overall, there could definitely be better communication between students and faculty when it comes to financial aid and issues with enrollment and grades. Howard is an old school based on tradition, but I feel that there could be some changes and upgrades made to the school, especially facilities and buildings on campus to make for a better overall experience for students and their parents."

"The school academically was great. The teachers were very helpful and knowledgeable. Campus life was fun and off campus life was a great experience as well. Definitely would recommend this school. The diversity was a definite plus and also living in DC with all the employment opportunities another plus."

"It was a very pleasant experience, in which you can acquire new knowledge to meet people Although sometimes I find it hard some things because while he worked, but for me it was very good and excellent teachers"

"Howard University was a great school. The lessons that I learned about being confident and proud of who I was and where I come from was absolutely priceless. Although it was 1999 when I graduated, I still remember hanging out in "The Yard," step shows, the library and reading books about African American history. My education program was excellent and I remember how I cultivated my love for teaching. It was an excellent experience and I am glad that I made Howard University my choice."

"The major cons in regards to the university and this program is you constantly have to advocate for yourself and stand up when teachers and/or advisors are not being helpful: whether it is being understanding in regards to work of campus, finding alternative study material, and advice on a career in your degree."

"I highly recommend attending Howard University or another HBCU to receive a multi-cultural educational experience."

"The quality of education is a pro for my graduate program and a con would be the lack of support from faculty members. This is partly due to the limited number of personnel within the department."

"Physician Assistant program Cons -a lot of studying -no free time or social life -no working which means no income Physician Assistant program Pros -very close knit family -good professors -help is available when needed"

"Pros: Supporting and experienced faculty. Cons: Need more students in program."

"The transitioning of the programs administrative duties have complicated initial processes of registering and advising sessions. The rich history, seminars, and networking opportunities give me a diverse and informative perspective before I embark on a career."

"My professors are approachable, helpful, and hold students accountable for their education. We have many oppurtunities to engage with individuals practicing in the D.C. metro area and the surrounding areas. While I love my school, it is very expensive to live in the D.C. Metro area."

"The program is excellent with world class faculty and students.however the financial aid is limited."

"Howard teaches the student to be in charge, be persistent, be relentless, and follow-up. Half of the time you have to teach yourself the classroom material, you have to constantly follow-up with professors to grade papers and let you know where you stand academically in the class, you have to skip class to go to the financial aid office 10 consecutive days in a row to make sure your application and/or refund will be processed within efficient time. Howard definitely prepares you for the grind of the Real World!"

"Pros - tight knit community Cons - Expensive"

"Howard University is one of the best historically black law schools. The education experience and networking opportunities yield nothing, but success in the legal field."
