Student Reviews

Great environment but lacking administration

Anonymous rated 3 out of 5 stars

I love the people and faculty that I have met here throughout my years. I wish that the administration would be more proactive with the information that a student should have. Sometimes I feel as though I am late when it comes to finding out requirements for my education. Review provided by EDUopinions (www.eduopinions.com)

The Howard Experience

Asher rated 5 out of 5 stars

I would highlight that as a minority Howard university has really created a home away from home for me which I didn't think was possible. The administration at times can be a little irritating but none the less the experience I've gotten here is like no other. Review provided by EDUopinions (www.eduopinions.com)
