There are many advantages and disadvantages to attending HBCU’s. A common disadvantage would be the lack of funding going into the institutions. Many HBCU’s are private intuitions, they do not receive outside government help they only rely on the input of the students and alumni who attended the schools to help provide funds. Many people feel that when attending an HBCU they may not receive and adequate education. They believe this to be true because they watch the news and read stories about different schools losing their accreditation, and slowing closing its doors.
The disadvantages of attending an HBCU are often times on the surface, out in the open. The advantages are most likely to be found within a person, depending on their experiences at an HBCU. The networking and bond found at HBCUs is an important advantage that you will not find in a larger institution. You are constantly around people that look and many times have the same morals and lifestyles as you, which make it more comfortable for you to be in attendance. Another advantage is that while attending an HBCU you are adding on to traditions and legacy to be added to not only African- American history but your own as well.
