I could have easily compiled this information with a few hours of research on the internet. This book is not worth the $13. Maybe $3. I read it in 10 minutes and now it just sits there. I feel stupid. The book has half a page (or a few sentences) of information and 1 or 2 dumb facts at the bottom. Lots of empty white space. So I paid for space?

This guide is a great resource to set expectations for the HBCU experience. It is a very easy read and captures one's interest from cover to cover. I highly recommend to anyone planning to attend college, anyone attending college, or anyone who knows someone attending college.

This book is a great gift for someone who is considering attending an Historical Black College or University or for one who is already attending one. It is light, funny and yet truthful and will be a yearly gift for friends and family who are high school seniors and/or graduates.

I think this a great tool for any college student, from a freshman to a senior. With all the reading the average student will do, it's good to have something practical to help them through all the surprises and the rough spots. A must read for any college student, parent, or anyone who justs want to help a student they know. And if you didn't get the chance to attend an HBCU, read this book and you'll feel like you did!

I graduated from Clark Atlanta University in 1998 and I experienced just about everything Mrs. May writes about in her book. I had a great experience, however it would have been even better if I had known "what" to expect.

I am on my way out of my EXPERIENCE and with all the good and bad things that have happened, I wouldn't trade any of it for anything. Who knows who I'd be or where I'd be if not for my years spent at CAU in ATL. This book encapsulates what it is to be a HBCU student! Great tips every student should know.

If you're going to college, if you're planning on attending college or if you're matriuclating your way through college - you absolutely need this book!! I wish I had a guide like this when I attended an HBCU. I highly recommend this book not only for the students, but, for the parents as well.
