    Well, I’m reppin a school not listed (Alabama State University) but having set foot on all of the campuses multiple times except for Fisk, I can see why they are in the rank they are in. I did have a surprise from Claflin Univ. being on the list and Hampton being so far down the list. Either way, gotta love and support them!!

    I went to Johnson C. Smith my freshman year and actually wasn’t pleased with the academic standards so I transferred back home to LA to go to USC…big change. But I’m glad to see they’ve made strides to better the university…as shown by their number 10 rating…do your thing JCSU always a Golden Bull at heart.

    Yes Hampton Made the list as I knew it would but Tuition is much more than that….

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/BIGDADAY/ BIGDADAY

    I had a chance to vist quite a few of the schools on the list. I know that a few have infastructure problems and I would have a problem paying a big price tag to send my child there. I would like to know how they picked the schools on the list. I graduated from SC STATE UNIV and it was a wonderful place to get a education at a reasonable price. I been to JC Smith and you telling me no other NC Schools could make this list? What about A&T and NCCU?

    What happened to Morgan State here?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/tennis_freak/ tennis_freak

    Hey guys, If you check out the student retention rates of the schools you are asking about you will see why they are not on the list. Holla

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Jlynnd/ Jlynnd

    NCCU is straight up garbage, there’s no way it would make the list, or the list would be null and void. I’m speaking as a current student…it will probably be the next defunct school.
