Both HBCUs. Both amazing. Both in cities (Atlanta vs DC). But Howard is bigger. More famous. More “network.” So why Spelman? What’s the specific advantage?
Here’s what I heard: Spelman has higher graduation rates. Smaller classes. More support. But also — Spelman is only women. Howard is co-ed.
I’m torn. Does the sisterhood at Spelman actually translate into career success? Or is it just emotional?
I talked to a Spelman grad who works at Google. She said: “At Spelman, I learned to speak without apologizing. That’s worth more than any class.” That sounds good. But is that her or Spelman?
Help me decide. I have two months.
