    Am learning a lot

    How you do and how much you learn your freshman year really depends on how challenging your high school was. To be honest, my freshman year was kind of a breeze. Of course you have to study and make sure you GO TO CLASS, but if you do what you need to do to be successful you'll be fine. I know kids that were failing basic algebra, so really it depends on your high school course work. Of course that was just your general core classes, not too hard. The rigor of the course work will increase as you matriculate (you'll hear that word a lot), but if you put in the work you'll be fine. This is all based on my freshman year though. The teacher's are good for the most part and you can get plenty of 1on1 time with your prefessor which is a great thing. Theres always help when you need it from student tutors and your professors.
    Am enjoying being here

    Atlanta is a great place to go to school. The city is fun and has a great night life. There's a bunch of other school's in Atlanta, so if you ever get tired of being in the AUC you can always head to Georgia State, Emory, GA Tech just to name a few and find something to get into. It's very easy to meet people and make new friends. You'll have PLENTY of opportunities to meet Clark and Spelman girls so don't worry. There will be a lot of 5 Star rated Spelman girls with deep pockets so, ummm yea. It really is a cool place to be, and the people and the whole Atlanta atmosphere really makes up for some of Morehouse's shortcomings.
    Bang for the buck

    For almost 40k a year in total costs, there is definite room for improvement. For starters, the cafeteria or the Caf could be waayyyyy better. Fried chicken Wednesday's are OK, but besides that you might get tired of eating pizza and fries every day. You get used to it though and it's not that bad, just needs some improvements. Could use some updated facilities. Like for me personally I would like a bigger weight room and another basketball court b/c Archer can get packed sometimes. Your in West End ATL so you're not paying for the scenic views, but you are really close to downtown so it's easy to get places. Costs do not meet expectations but you will learn to adapt. It'll be a good experience for you ha ha.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be outgoing. You're not going to meet anyone or have any fun sitting in your room all day. Get into activities, whatever interests you do it. Go to parties, have fun, live life. For academic success make sure you go to class and turn in your work on time. Don't fall behind b/c the work will keep piling on. Ask for help when you need it b/c help is available. Get in cool with your professors b/c you never know if you'll really need there help. FYI coming in class late and not showing up to class at all frequently is a slap in your professors face. They won't like that and will be less likely to do you a favor, trust me.
    Great for these types of students

    Outgoing and friendly people fit right in at Morehouse. There are all types of people at Morehouse and you'll make
    friends your first year no matter who you are. Academic success is important to most people on campus, so driven , hard working students do the best at Morhouse.

    Did learn a lot

    Learning at Morehouse College occurs not only in the classroom but in everyday happenings around the campus. This is an amazing environment for exchanging knowledge and experiences because of all the schools in close proximity bringing in people from all over the world of tremendously different backgrounds. How much you learn is only limited by your own desires.
    Did enjoy being here

    Initially I swayed about how much I was really liking Morehouse College. I mean paying so much money and having the West End be my welcoming mat, I just had my doubts. However this turned out to be one of, if not thee best decision I ever made in life. The people there were phenomenal and there was always something exciting going on. Its a one of a kind atmosphere that I'm blessed to have experienced.
    Bang for the buck

    For the cost, you look at the facilities and around the campus and as a student of course you wonder Where is all this money going. No Morehouse doesn't have amazing athletic facilities, not many state of the art classrooms or labs, and no the dorms aren't hardly fancy. However the bang for your buck comes from the culture of Morehouse and the AUC. This is very much a community that forces one to be social and network. This network you build, will be something you can depend on for the rest of your life and the extensiveness of the network is beyond comprehension.
    Tips for prospective students

    Stay hungry, stay focused, but remain humbled. Its very easy to lose your humility in an environment of success and in an environment of praise. Remember that with that praise comes expectation, an expectation that as a Man of Morehouse you are well learned, well behaved, well dressed, and well aware just to name a few. Learn to embrace the meaning of brotherhood and family, remain open minded, and never cease to challenge not only yourself but those around you.
    Great for these types of students

    This is an environment i can honestly recommend for anyone because Morehouse accepts students from every background imaginable. You name it, there's a sub-community for all your interests, needs, and background. There's something at Morehouse for every young man...

    Am learning a lot

    I am learning quite a lot. The majority of the teachers here are excellent and actually know how to teach. They have office hours if you want to have a one-on-one conversation with them. They don't play around because at the end of the day, its your grade and your money so they know to be serious about that.
    However, there are a handful of teachers who really shouldn't teach because they can't get anything done in a timely manner and then the student(s) end up suffering because of them.
    Am enjoying being here

    I'm not too sure if I am enjoying my stay here at Morehouse College. I am used to the transportation system from New York. I was able to just hop on the bus or train and go anywhere. Down here in Georgia, they do have the MARTA system, but it takes time to get used to. You literally have to use the MARTA if you need anything. Nothing is in walking distance, which is one of the main reasons I am not enjoying my stay here. I have to spend extra money just to get something simple.
    Bang for the buck

    I am not too sure about this one. The school is quite expensive. I don't think we are getting everything we paid for. I suggest living off campus because it saves you a huge amount of money.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you are considering coming to Morehouse College, I suggest looking into buying an apartment. I also suggest having a car because its extremely difficult to get around. I also suggest that you network with as many students and faculty/staff that you can. Its extremely helpful in the long run.
    Great for these types of students

    Morehouse College is great for students who have family in Georgia. Its a bit challenging to get used to if you are used to living in cities such as Manhattan.
    However, if you have a car or you just have good knowledge of Georgia, then this college might just be for you.

    Morehouse is a very unique school that can either gain your love or hate. The message that Morehouse sends to the students either fits their personality or go completely against their morals. All in all, Morehouse is a good school to attend.
    Tips for prospective students

    I would say stay ahead in your classes and makes friends to network with.
    Academic Rigor

    The rigor depends on the teacher but more importantly you work ethic. You know the assignments are coming so be good with time organization and you should be good.
    Dorm Life

    Everything was good except the community bathrooms. It was not maintained by the residence enough.
    Food and Dining

    The cafe was either hit or miss. The main course could sometimes be good and sometimes be terrible. You will get tired of burgers and pizza.
    What to do for fun

    I play football and hang with my new friiends.
    Bang for the buck

    I don't think the tution should be so high but the jobs that are attainable afterwards makes up for it.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    They force you to wake up super early to sing the Morehouse song and run around the campus through NSO.
    Great for these types of students

    It is great for stydents willing to work and be around educated young black men and women.
    Clubs and Activities

    I enjoyed being in the football field. I saw what the other club offered whihc were good. I just did not have time to join them. The activities were great. I truly enjoyed my freshman year.
    Campus Safety

    There is not enough and they do not actually protect the students.

    Morehouse College does not provide its boys with a luxurious experience. However, the luxury is promised to those boys who allow Morehouse College to mold them into men. Howard Thurman said, “Over the heads of her students, Morehouse holds a crown that she challenges them to grow tall enough to wear.”
    Tips for prospective students

    Know your path. Know what you want to achieve and understand what it will take to achieve it. One cannot simply enter Morehouse College and expect to land a high-paying job in the socioeconomic world. Morehouse College offers connections more-so than clout. The College is not ivy-league and easy to manage; however, Morehouse is loved for the challenge.
    Know the staff. Be on top of everything in terms of financials, curriculum, and demands. Students who have financial problems are usually found in the financial office day and night racking-up on scholarships that are not advertised. These students take initiative and show the staff that they are willing to work for what they want. The same goes for students who are well in-tune with their major department. These students find summer jobs and research programs much easier than students who do internet searches, because they take initiative in their studies.
    The best students of Morehouse College are the most respected.
    The most respected students show the most initiative.
    Therefore, the best students of Morehouse College show the most initiative.
    Academic Rigor

    Freshman work load varies between turn-in-questions, class presentations, and ten-page papers. The first semester will surely be an eye-opener to students who are still in High-School mode. The professors will work you hard and it is personal responsibility to assure deadlines are met.
    Dorm Life

    Dorm life at Morehouse College will make your college years your best years. You will meet tons of characters. The RD's and RA's are extremely dedicated to molding the students into respectable men.They are open to their residents and are usually found driving their residents out to get late night snacks and fast foods. Residence Hall pride is encouraged through RH (residence hall) step teams and awards for best hall. Nevertheless, all halls intermingle on a daily via the close-knit student body.
    Morehouse College also provides daily janitorial services and a Residence Hall Counsel which tends to the needs of the residents on a daily.
    Food and Dining

    Chivers Dining Hall provides a wide assortment of dishes (some better than others). They will normally serve usual dishes such as lasagna, baked chicken, rice and vegetables. Other times students are surprised with frog legs, crocodile, venison, and seasoned tofu. Students always rush to get the fried chicken wednesday specials (fried chicken, mac n' cheese, collards, cornbread, and black-eye peas) and fried fish fridays specials. There are different lines to choose from, which satisfy the students' appetites (stir-fry, on the grill, pizza, salad bar, and main dish). Once students have their plates they can sit down and socialize with all the students there, watch T.V. (sports or news), or converse with the servers who always remember your face and greet you with a smile and the usual Southern hospitality.
    If Chivers' meal plan doesn't satiate the appetite one can always venture over to Kilgore Hall and pay out of pocket for some curly fries, subs, sandwiches, Chicken Fingers, Burgers, and more. There is also the option of Papa Johns, Freshens, and Jazzman's Cafe which are all on campus.
    If one doesn't want to eat on-campus food they can go to Spelman College for sushi (upcoming) or subway.
    What to do for fun

    When students think of fun they think of off-campus activities. Morehouse College is right down the street from the Marta and students are always found venturing through Atlanta for a good time. On the weekends students are usually found in the illustrious Lennox Mall perusing through stores or enjoying the night-life at Atlantic Station. Parties are always advertised for those party-goers, and lounge restaurants are only a Marta ride away for students who enjoy a relaxing get-away.
    On Campus, Morehouse students provide Hump-Wednesday, which is a large get-together amongst all the AUC students (Clark Atlanta, Morehouse, and Spelman). Step teams show their moves, students dance and eat, and sometimes celebrities come visit. The cast of Think Like a Man came last year and Kevin Hart spoke from the mic.
    Students are also encouraged to attend sporting events, student-led fashion shows, Open mic nights (Thursdays), fraternity competitions, and more.
    Bang for the buck

    If you come to Morehouse on scholarship (which is very likely), then yes. The cost of room and board alone is worth it if you attend all that Morehouse offers. The students that don't do much on campus are the ones wasting their money. Enjoy what you paid for.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Classified. Telling incoming students the traditions of Morehouse will ruin the surprise of New Student Orientation.
    Great for these types of students

    Enjoys Cultured Environment.
    Enjoys Hanging With Friends.
    Looking to make connections with upstanding personnel.
    Enjoys seeing in different perspectives.
    Respects Brotherhood
    Encourages Open-mindedness
    Clubs and Activities

    There is always something to do and always an organization to join. Opportunities for a leadership role are always available. Creativity is encouraged. Clubs will usually get together and make a huge memorable event.
    Greek Life

    You will easily know who is apart of Greek Life. Each fraternity always shows up for every event and are well known amongst the student body. Students cannot join until their sophomore year, but the students that do join are always active.
    Campus Safety

    Morehouse College is open to the public and is very easy to access. Some students have been robbed and the police force lacks in their department of maintaining a safe environment. However, students quickly understand the do's and don'ts to maintain personal safety. For instance, students are encouraged to lock their doors every time they leave the room and travel with groups at night. Morehouse students are usually targeted for robberies so wearing Morehouse paraphernalia is strongly discouraged.

    This institution, has become more than a school. Morehouse College is a college that will challenge your mental capacity and forces you to fight for what your true desires are. Failure is not excepted, and mediocrity is not an option.
    Tips for prospective students

    In order to succeed here you must study and apply yourself. Parties and the fun times will be there, remember why you went to college.
    Academic Rigor

    The professors do not allow any excuses for being late or missing class. Docking off points on your grade can come very easily, but you must be in class in order to pass. Test can save you in most cases but homework and quizzes must be taken seriously.
    Dorm Life

    Not much can be said about staying in a dorm. The thing to remember is you sleep there you do not live there. Confused are you? You actually live in the study halls. Staying in any dorm depends on your year in college. Freshman dorms are said to be the most immature but continue to be active. Where as being an upperclassmen academia are taken more seriously and the halls of those dorms are quiet. In the end your dorm life is ultimately up to you.
    Food and Dining

    Funny thing about the food on campus will continue to be the same. Cafe food is the same as that of when you were a child. The only difference is the wide variety of different foods to choose from.
    What to do for fun

    Being an athlete has its perks. Most of my fun is during the weekend when I am listening to music, going to a couple get together's or playing basketball. No matter what the day something is happening on campus.
    Bang for the buck

    On campus students are given alot of discounts on any item of desire, even off campus. Being a student is profitable for you at times but can still hurt you.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Their are not any unusual traditions but their are some night time activities such as man hunt. These simple games take place with team of males and females. Luckily for us, Spelman is an all female school across the street. The young ladies join in these activities from day to day.
    Great for these types of students

    For any young man that desires to better himself and truly challenge his mentality for getting what he can while its there, this is the perfect school for them.
    Clubs and Activities

    The clubs here allow you to introduce yourself to an entire different group of individuals with the same strengths and weaknesses of you. It is up to you to pick the right group to join. Either it is the NAACP, or the Honors Program.
    Greek Life

    In every campus the fraternities have their mark. Once you hear the chants and see the strolls you automatically get pulled in to the college atmosphere. Alphas, Kappas, Omegas, and Sigmas can be found on our campus at any time of the day. Joining a brotherhood such as these is a difficult decision, make the correct choice.
    Campus Safety

    Police security has been better at not allow any an everyone on our campus, checking I.D.s every time you leave campus and re-entering. Room checks continue to prevent any dangerous items or people from destroying Morehouse College good name.

    Am learning a lot

    The field of Biology at Morehouse College is very detailed and taught by some of thud most distinguished professors in the United States. The Biology track here is also very rigorous though, and many will drop out of he program immediately if you are brave enough to continue, just know that it won't get easier. Study hard and work harder.
    Am enjoying being here

    Most of the professors here are kind and care about the academic well-being of their students, but like all colleges there are some professors who are only here for a paycheck. The atmosphere in the Biology field also creates a Dog Eat Dog mentality with classmates which will make it hard to find worthwhile help. Persevere and keep your eyes on your goals and you will do well.
    Bang for the buck

    I'm currently paying about double of what the tuition is at Georgia State... Per semester. My student loans will probably eat me alive. The academics are well-founded though, and many of the experiences found here at Morehouse cannot be found anywhere else in the country. I really appreciate the opportunities given here at Morehouse and I will be a proud graduate soon.
    Tips for prospective students

    Apply for as many scholarships as you can and remember that this is a college setting, even though it may be reminiscent of high school at times. Your GPA and National test scores will mean everything upon graduation so if you can't really afford to screw up early on. Enjoy your time in college, but always remember what you are there for. Morehouse will treat you well, as long as you smile and stay clear of the financial department.
    Great for these types of students

    Academic, studious, competitive, hard-working, and diligent. Also works for the party hoppers and binge drinkers, just remember that you have to go to class sometimes. Stand out and be yourself!
