    Bang for the buck

    It's EXPENSIVE...but well worth it...to afford it, just keep on top...better yet, AHEAD, of your scholarship searches and info...you'll make it just fine...
    Tips for prospective students

    STAY ON TOP OF YOUR WORK...develop appropriate personal relationships w/ your professors, if need be...GO OUT...get familiar and involved with the community (the AUC)...it's scary @ first, but you'll always have your sisters for support & encouragement...LOVE YOUR SPELMAN/AUC SISTERS/CLARK & MOREHOUSE BROTHERS...these girls & boys will be ones in which you will grow life-long relationships with...it's a wonderful experience...MAKE GOOD CHOICES...boys...partying...just be an adult...
    Overall Lesson: Change the misconception of African American Youth (particularly young women) through kind words, intelligent banter, and common civility- Spelman College offers all of these advantages to those who seek them. Consider Spelman College based upon an aspiration to discover an institute where your ability to serve others is just as important as your academic record...where your search of a special venue is validated where learning is a passion, not just another formality. At Spelman College, you wish dwell in a location where you are simply not only a student body member, but a cherished member of society, a place where you are an individual, and not a number. Spelman College is a place where your desire is not purely to improve oneself, but rather improve the world.

    Yes, I am receiving a well rounded education and experience. This is the perfect institution to receive an excellent education and gain a lifetime of experiences.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love Spelman and everything that it stands for. I choose Spelman because it is the right school for me. When choosing a college make sure that is matches with you and what you are trying to accomplish in life. If that school can help you towards accomplishing your goals then it's a match!
    Bang for the buck

    Spelman College is an expensive school. I believe it is worth every dollar. I am attending Spelman on financial aid, grants, and scholarships. Make sure that you apply for every single scholarship and grant that you are eligible for, because paying for college can be stressful at times.
    Tips for prospective students

    Spelman is an illustrious world renowned institution know for producing women who change the world. This is an excellent liberal arts school. It is located in the heart of Atlanta surrounded by Morehouse College, and Clark Atlanta University. Spelman is a part of the Atlanta University Center. As a part of the AUC you can enroll in classes at all three institutions.
    Great for these types of students

    This is a great school for students who would love to further their education by excelling in academics. While in a wonderful atmosphere with fascinating student organizations and wonderful opportunities. I highly recommend attending Spelman College.

    not only did I enjoy my teachers, I enjoyed meet the students and other staff. I was on my owe for the first time and felt like and grown up. The adult tread me like one. I had responsibility.

    I work for the work study, the job I did I did not the time schedule. I was given Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 pm to 11:00 pm 4 day a week. That gave me no time for myself or to go out if I want to go some where. I do not stay out late at night.
    Tips for prospective students

    Listen to that you are told to do get along with people alway ask for help when need, and enjoy school. College is not like High School, Make your class where you come control the time. If you have work study make sure you be there or no who to report to so you will not got the bad schedule.

    Spelman is an all girl school, but the the others college around is not, so their are boys around Moorehouse is next door. You will be given a big brother to help you. their are alot of fun things to do. The stores are in walking distant, and the martar or train in right there.

    All of the faculty members are surprisingly top rank in their career fields! Most of my professors have Doctorates in their profession and they all will give the students valuable one on one time!!!

    I am enjoying every minute here at Spelman! The friends I have made will be my lifetime friends of mine! If I hadn't attended this school I wouldn't be the woman I am today. I have learned how to handle important financial and academic issues on my own. I have learned how to network with many professionals and students alike who have told me about different opportunities whether it be internships or simply advice! I even received an internship in the animation department at Turner Broadcasting Studios just by word of mouth around campus that led me to inquire about an interview! Every moment at Spelman and in Atlanta will be worthwhile!
    Bang for the buck

    Spelman is VERY VERY VERY expensive because it is a Historically Black College and it is a private institution for women. With all of this, many of the scholarship searching is left up to each individual student herself :'(
    Tips for prospective students

    PLEASE look for scholarships in advance and do not hesitate to ask your department and your scholarship advisor about institutional scholarships that they don't tell you about beforehand. Also, do community service your senior year and apply to be a Bonner Scholar because it will pay your tuition in FULL!
    Great for these types of students

    Women who want to become strong, liberated, and desire a sisterhood rather than a school where all u do is attend classes and go home! Please come here if you want to make history and be apart of a legacy!

    Am learning a lot

    I am learning more than education here but also life lessons. My course work is challenging but very rewarding. I have learned more about black history this past year,especially about black women than ever before. I never learned about black history in any of my previous schools. Spelman's history is so rich and consuming, it makes me very proud to be an African American. My English professor passed away suddenly this past year and that was very upsetting, but my sister's and I found comfort in each other and helped each other make it through a difficult time. Now I know the saying,Here today gone tomorrow, is no exaggeration. I feel blessed to have met her. I am very proud to be a student at Spelman.
    Am enjoying being here

    I am enjoying being at Spelman. I have a great Morehouse brother, who is very supportive and available for any assistance I may need. He's very respectful of me and I really like that. I have met some great women at Spelman and great men at Morehouse. Spelman's campus has alot to offer like the Spelman College Museum of Fine Art museum, market friday's, computer access, great guess speakers, financial assistance, and so much more.
    Bang for the buck

    It's no secret that Spelman is expensive, but my family just keep praying and applying for any financial assistance we can, and thank God I'll be returning another year..
    Tips for prospective students

    Be open to new experiences and new people. You will be living in close quarters so be very respectful of others and their space and you'll be fine. The RA's there to assist you with any issues you may have, so call them when you need them.
    Great for these types of students

    The Spelman sisterhood bonds are life long and will be the best experiences you will probably have in your life. Enjoy it and stay positive, don't focus on the parties and boys, stay focused and pray that you are able to stay all 4 years and graduate. I really look forward to a Spelman graduation since I've never seen one before. Come to Spelman, you won't regret it and hopefully we'll meet when you arrive!

    Am learning a lot

    I graduated from a public high school in Poughkeepsie, New York where there is a seventeen year, forty-three percent graduation rate. Therefore, I felt a though I was not academically challenged. Throughout my matriculation at Spelman College, I have learned more in a semester than I have learned in a year in New York. The work is somewhat challenging, but it is well worth the knowledge attained.
    Am enjoying being here

    Being at a historically black college, I am receiving an experience of a lifetime accompanied by cultural aspects. Everyday is truly something different; there is never a dull moment. I am learning more about myself as I embark on this Spelman journey. I would not rather be anywhere else than where I am at this very moment.
    Bang for the buck

    Spelman college is somewhat expensive and there are times when I do not know if my tuition is fully covered for the semester. However, I receive enrichment in all aspects of my life here. Thirty six thousand dollars is definitely sufficient for all that is obtained during matriculation at the illustrious Spelman College.
    Tips for prospective students

    Spelman college is an all female, historically black college. Not only does this mean you will gain a deeper understanding of yourself, but you will make the conscious decision to change the world. As with many colleges and universities, there are temptations on may different levels. This four years of experience will be some of the best years in your life; do not get involved in anything that goes against your beliefs and your judgment. Survival in college is about discipline and remaining true to yourself and your morals. Times will be challenging and you may ask yourself, Is this all worth it. That is what sets everyone apart from one another; what are you willing to do and sacrifice?
    Great for these types of students

    Great for students who are looking for a small, all female, institution with a cultural experience. Some of the most popular majors are political science, economics and biology. Lastly, those students who want to change the world, starting with themselves and the things in their periphery.

    Am learning a lot

    from Spelman college, not only academically, but socially and spiritually about myself that i did not know prior to my enrollment last fall. Courses required for Spelman women that are not required, let alone applicable at other institutions, have taught me a lot about the culture of my ancestors, therefore providing a greater basis of where we as African American women have come from
    Am enjoying being here

    Atlanta is a long way from home (15hrs driving and 2.5 hrs flying). Although it is considered a metropolitan area, Atlanta is nowhere as fast paced as the cities in New York that I am used to (i.e. Manhattan and the Bronx). For this reason, I have found myself becoming more relaxed, as I do not feel rushed and constantly on-the-go (though I do stay on the ball when it comes to class work). Plus the weather is way warmer than I'm used to and the advantage of being in a metropolitan area such as Atlanta is always a plus.
    Bang for the buck

    Many people (including myself) complain about the cost of attendance at Spelman. However, it is important to keep in mind the rankings (#1 HBCU in the nation, as well as being compared to Ivy League schools), opportunities (many jobs available after graduation), and experience. At the end of the day, that is what you're paying for; the experience. It is rare that the bonding within a college (with two bordering colleges, Morehouse and Clark Atlanta University), lively constant activities, sororities, prosperous organizations and all around genuine fun and relaxation are a given when applying to a school. With that said, I would be willing to pay any amount to continue my stay at Spelman College (just stay up on your scholarships!)
    Tips for prospective students

    DO YOUR RESEARCH! I for one did not attend Spel-Bound (although i did visit the school prior to the application process and enrollment) and I regretted not being able to form that bond with my sisters before classes started. Don't slack and wait around for scholarships to hit you in the face, grants to fall out of the sky, or for your parents to simply put the money on the table (more power to you if your parents have that option). Speaking from personal experience, I wish that I had taken the financial process more seriously, as to avoid confusion and stress later on throughout my school year. Spelman, because of it's location in Atlanta and in reference to other schools, is a great opportunity for networking and amazing memories. I for one can write a four page list of memories and I'm only entering my second semester this month.

    The professors are beyond outstanding and you can tell they thoroughly enjoy what they're teaching. I love how some of the classes are designed specifically for students of color.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love being apart of the AUC; you meet new people from every part of the world literally everyday. Atlanta has so many different things to do and so many opportunities for young people. It's truly a one of a kind experience.
    Bang for the buck

    I've had to make quite a few financial decisions and sacrifices in order to attend. I'm constanly having to look up scholarships and paying internships because I am trying to go through my undergrad without any loans.
    Tips for prospective students

    Don't have tunnel vision when applying for colleges. Keep your mind open to every possibility. Remember you're going to be basically living at your college choice for the next four years.
    Great for these types of students

    Spelman is an all-girls school, and at first it was a huge challenge to be around all girls because most of my friends at home are boys. You definitely make friends with the girls in your dorm and in your classes, but Morehouse, Jazman's Cafe, and Clark Atlanta are right next door if you need a break.

    Though it was difficult to get scholarships as an individual, Spelman helped significantly with my academic scholarship for half tuition
    Tips for prospective students

    Stay in touch with the financial aid office on a weekly basis. My classmates and I have done that and found scholarships that helped out with books and travel
    Great for these types of students

    Considering Spelman College is an all female, historically black college, the type of people is obvious. However, many students who are not black apply and do attend. Many students participate in domestic exchange with Spelman and love the experience. I highly encourage it.

    Make sure you are a well rounded student. Spelman looks for young motivated and free thinking young women, who want to impact the environment around them. Get involved in community service, working part time jobs, take on advance placement classes, and make sure your essay for admissions is very strong.

    Spelman College is a private, independent, historically black liberal arts women's college, although men from Morehouse and Clark Atlanta University take courses here. There is much diversity here at Spelman, although from the outside it may not appear that way. Women who are going somewhere start at Spelman, it's a wonderful learning environment and a great launching pad into the professional world.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you are invited to attend Spel-Bound make sure to participate, it gives you an inside look at life here at Spelman much more in-depth than a regular campus tour. You stay with a current student, get a feel for campus life, accompany us to classes, etc. It's a wonderful program, and those admitted students who are debating if Spelman is for them usually commit after Spel-Bound.
    Academic Rigor

    Classes vary in rigor falling within the traditional confines of a liberal arts education. All of the classical liberal arts majors are offered in addition to STEM programs i.e. biology, psychology, chemistry, mathematics, bio-chemistry and computer science. We also offer a dual-degree engineering program. Professors are usually very helpful and want you to visit them (during posted office hours). You will have small classes here at Spelman, the largest course you will have during your matriculation here is around 60 students, and that is a mandatory first-year lecture course.
    Dorm Life

    As a first-year (freshmen) you will reside in one of four dorms (similar to the four houses from the Harry Potter franchise), each dorm has a very distinct personality and their own Greek letters. In addition, there are a number of first-year only events and activities centered around dorm life to get the new students acquainted to campus life and the surrounding campuses. You are required to live on campus first and second year unless you can provide a valid excuse for why you must live off campus.
    Food and Dining

    Overall, Spelman offers the typical college dinning experience, buffet style, average food with a variety of options, that is sometimes extraordinarily good, but oftentimes rather basic. You won't starve, but it's not typically that home-cooked feel, either. The Caf closes at 8pm, but we do have The Grill as another dinning option which currently closes at 10:30pm and offers better food, but less variety. If you're a late eater you'll find yourself ordering delivery from one of the numerous options within the surrounding area.
    What to do for fun

    One thing every Spelman student knows is that there is never a shortage of things to do. Not only is your student email constantly getting flooded with on campus activities and events, but there are a number of things to do in the greater surrounding Atlanta area. First-years are not allowed cars, but typically that year you will learn to navigate the MARTA, a public transportation system for the immediate Atlanta area. There is a wonderful little outdoor mall (accessible via MARTA) called Atlantic Station, that offers dinning options, shopping, and a Regal Cinema movie theater. And of course there are always things going on within the Atlanta-University Center college community i.e. Clark Atlanta, Morehouse and Spelman.
    Bang for the buck

    A Spelman education is a great investment, offering you a wonderful network and access to a wide variety of internship and job offers. Furthermore, Spelman offers many unique experiences from on campus recruiting to wonderful mentors comprised of both faculty and alumnae. However, all this does cost so make sure to apply for scholarships. Spelman provides some financial aid, but for the most part you should look to outside sources as well.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Spelman has a white dress, tradition which plays an important role with your induction ceremony as a first-year student and also at the end of your time here at Spelman as it is worn under your graduation gown. Also following the end of new student orientation Spelman and Morehouse come together in Kings Chapel, and after the ceremony freshmen are paired off and you receive a Morehouse brother.
    Great for these types of students

    There is no particular model of Spelmanite, you will find all types of women here. However, Spelman stresses academic excellence more than anything and there are certain limitations placed on those looking to pursue college sports on a very competitive level. Furthermore, as a liberal arts institution those who are intensely invested in a technology or scientific field are somewhat limited by course offerings on campus; however, you can still take classes at the neighboring Georgia Tech or Georgia State Universities in addition to Clark Atlanta or Morehouse.
    Clubs and Activities

    Spelman offers a number of extracurriculars, including professional organizations. The only downside to Spelman, is if you are an athlete. We are a Division III school, and the focus here is predominantly academics. However, a fair number of students participate in sports here. We offer soccer, basketball, tennis, golf, cross country, volleyball and softball.
    Greek Life

    Spelman College is home to all of the Divine Nine sororities, including AKA, Delta Sigma Theta, and Zeta Phi Beta. In addition we house Sigma Gamma Rho and Tau Beta Sigma.
    Campus Safety

    Spelman has one of the most secure campuses that I've ever witnessed. We are gated and have 24/7 campus security, who treat each of us like their daughters. They are a wonderful group of people and the majority have military and or police force experience. Next to quality education, safety is the most important thing stressed here at Spelman. I always love returning to my pearly gates, I definitely feel very safe here.

    Spelman does indeed come with a hefty price tag, but in the long run you will be prepared to go out into the world and become successful at whatever you decide to pursue.
    Tips for prospective students

    Some tips for prospective students would have to be : 1.) STAY ON TOP OF YOUR WORK. Deadlines sneak up on you sometimes but it is VERY important to meet them because this is a skill you will need in life, and this affects your grades and credibility as a student.
    2.) Definitely search for scholarships because if you start here you will certainly want to finish in four years with the least amount of debt possible
    3.) Participate. By Participating in student organizations and volunteering for different things you meet lots of new people who have the same interests as you. You can build long lasting friendships as well.

    spelman is a wonderful school with many great opportunities that many do not know about. make sure you network with your professors, your financial aid advisors/scholarship coordinators, and the career offices.
    Tips for prospective students

    visit spelman and do a day or weekend program like a day in the life or spel-bound. some of my spelman sisters said they only came to spelman because they loved spel-bound so much.
    Academic Rigor

    depending on which major you decide to take up, the rigor can increase or decrease depending on how much of an expert you are in the subjects.
    Dorm Life

    the dorms are so much fun. i recommend staying on campus at least first and second year because you meet so many of your sisters and form life-long bonds with them quickly. i stayed in abby and i am close to mostly everyone who stayed in the dorm and both of my current roommates stayed in abby too!
    Food and Dining

    if you like chicken this is the caf for you. they have fried chicken, baked chicken, chicken and rice, grilled chicken, honey glazed chicken, sesame chicken, etc. chicken is the main dish mostly every day. when aj johnson came back to spelman a few months ago, she influenced the new part of the cafeteria, the fab 500 line which have some great options every now and then and the meals are always 500 calories or less. there is also a deli sandwich line, a stir-fry line, a pasta line, and pizza and burgers are there if you don't want anything else.
    What to do for fun

    go to poetry jams in kilgore which is actually on morehouse's campus right next door, go to atlantic station or wherever and watch movies and walk around the malls, and we go on many walking adventures to familiarize ourselves with the area and what is around us.
    Bang for the buck

    spelman is a private school, meaning it is super expensive. you are lucky to receive a scholarship from spelman but don't let that deter you from coming, look for a lot of outside scholarships and federal grants and loans are available...
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    we have the spelman graduate's arch that you cannot walk under until your graduation. we also have a rule that you shouldn't take shortcuts through the grass because that's like taking shortcuts through life.
    Great for these types of students

    Greek Life

    we have most of the major historically black sororities such as akas, deltas, and zetas. we even have a band sorority and a community service sorority.
    Campus Safety

    public safety at spelman is every where! they take their jobs seriously and even ride around the area from the school to the different marta staions and areas that students go to. there are shuttles that take students to the close marta stations and the library. there is also a spelman van that you can call to pick you up from spelman and take you to the library or marta station.

    The advanced education that you get at Spelman is beyond extraordinary. They motivate you to strive for the best and they also not only educate you on college curricular but on the knowledge of how to grow as a woman. Spelman Colleges moto is A Choice to Change the World. They enrich their students on the importance of making this world a better place by going above and beyond for the greater good.

    I love being on campus everyone is different and everyone is special in their own way. Spelman takes the extra effort to make sure the students have a great time on campus. They even have an organization that is designed to do just that, plan fun stuff on campus for the students. Whether is a movie night or even free mani and pedi's during homecoming for all the students.
    Bang for the buck

    Yes the tuition is alot but it is worth every penny. The relationships and knowledge you gain from being a Spelman woman are priceless. You receiving top of the line teaching from some of the most passionate and experienced professors many of which love the the subjects they teach and go the extra mile to study and live what they believe in.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure when writing your application essay you let the college know that you really want to be there. Also if you get accepted dont be scared. Spelman is a place where women from all over the country, the world even come to experience the Spelman way. Making friends is easier than most would think because your freshman year is going to be the best.

    Am learning a lot

    I love that the professors here actually care about you and most of them will not let you fail. Also talking to other students hooked me up with the best professors. Use your resources, they are so plentiful.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love it here and have ever since my first visit to Spelman on a college tour in 8th grade! It's full of sisterly love, nurturing faculty and students, and plus Morehouse is two steps away ;) (that is the college my boyfriend attends). You also get Morehouse brothers your first year here and get a chance to develop strictly brotherly relationships with him and may even date his friend (like I did :)-we have been together for 1 year and a half).
    Bang for the buck

    I would say Spelman is very good academically. We are the number one HBCU and have been for years. One thing I hate is that the millions of dollars that the college receives is not going into many scholarships for students and many students have to drop out because it's so hard.
    Tips for prospective students

    The number one thing is to get outside scholarships! You also need to be best friend's with the ladies of the financial aid department and of course talk to your advisor! That's a big one. Many people don't talk to their advisors and when graduation time comes, they can't get their diploma because they didn't complete the requirements and/or didn't have enough credits to graduate :(...Also attend the Spel-Bound program! That is what drove some of my friends here! It's a program for accepted students to follow a hostess, live in the dorms, and attend classes. It's really a great opportunity to get a mini Spelman experience.
    Great for these types of students

    Spelman is great for students who love a challenge and can handle a challenge. If you step on campus and love it, it may be for you. It also may not be so make sure you attend a class, talk to professors, AND YOUR ROOMMATE before you come and you should be fine.

    Am learning a lot

    I am absolutely loving my Spelman experience. Spelman is a small private liberal arts college which means small class size. The small classes actually do allow you to really get to know your professors and they also get to know you which comes in handy when it is time to ask for recommendation letters for summer programs. I have also found many of the professors to be very flexible when it comes to their office hours to fit your class schedule.
    Am enjoying being here

    Life of a Spelmanite is a college experience like no other. From freshamn week to graduation day it is a unique experience that you will not fins anywhere else. Although it is an all girls school you experience the sister/brotherhood with the all male school, Morehouse College. SpelHouse work together in many campus activities and programs including homecoming for a unique experience that brings out alumni and current students.
    Bang for the buck

    Spelman College is very expensive with it increasing every year. On the bright side the college brings in a lot of scholarship oppurtuinites and donations. Even if you are not one of the lucky ones hopefully you were made very good connections while networking throughout your Spelman career and will be able to obtain a very good job when you graduate. The high cost comes from the prestigious name that comes along with being able to call yourself a Spelman woman and what society has seen a Spelman one to represent.
    Tips for prospective students

    Spelman is a college built on tradtion and history. In saying that be prepared to be expected to know the school's history as well as hymn. It will also save you some trouble if you realize ahead of time that the freshman dorms not having air conditioning does not mean that the school is cheap or using all of your tuition money elsewhere but that is it part of tradition and the freshman experience that every Spelman woman must go through.
    Great for these types of students

    This school is great for students who are looking for a school filled with great pride, legacy, and numerous networking opportunities.

    Am learning a lot

    Spelman College is a very prestigious school with a superior legacy that I am blessed to now be a part of. There are many eduactional opprtunities to take advantage of, both in and out of the classroom. We have many majors to choose from and the extracurricular activities make the Spelman Experience even more enjoyable. In my short time here so far, as a first-time freshman, I have already learned a lot about the virtues that the school seeks to instill in each of it's students. Among those include, the importance and initiation of sisterhood, service, and higher education.
    Am enjoying being here

    As a native Texan, being at school in Georgia is far from my usual comfort zone. However, the unified mutualism of sisterhood is ubiquitous; thus suppressing my feeling of homesickness and replacing it with enjoyment.
    Bang for the buck

    Although tuition may seem to cost a pretty penny, the money is worth it once students arrive. The teaching methods are great. The Public Safety system is superb. And, all other accommodations are what makes the school a ivy league historically black college.
    Tips for prospective students

    For those Spelmanites planning to attend Spelman College in the years to come, I recommend that you apply during the early decision period. Also, in order to fully prepare yourself for all that Spelman has to offer, and to ensure that this is the school for you, I suggest first attending the A Day In Your Life At Spelman program and, once accepted, the Spel-Bound program.
    Great for these types of students

    This educational facility is the perfect place for ladies who want to make the Choice to Change the World. For those who aspire to be successful women and seek an environment filled with sisterhood, community service, social networking, and solid education while in the process of doing so, this is the school for you!

    Spelman is very rigorous, since I am a science major I do not have as much freedom as others. The professors are willing to help in many ways so do not be afraid to ask them for help. My best study habit is to work with a group. There is so ,much information you need to learn study habits so you can do well in school.
    Am enjoying being here

    I am very involved ,but I have a balance in my school work. There are so many things to get involved in on campus you just make sure you do not overwhelm yourself. You will have plenty of big sisters that are willing to help you in your academics so you can succeed.
    Tips for prospective students

    Study and use all of your resources on campus. Your freshman year is very important and you dont want to slack off one bit.

    Spelman College is a private, historically black liberal arts college for free thinking women. Although our numbers maybe few, our success is great. It has such a rich history, that many of the incoming students continue to add upon, and it is a wonderful college experience.
    Tips for prospective students

    This isn't high school, you can have fun and you will, but always remember that your academics should come first before all.
    Academic Rigor

    The course work can be a challenge but it is for the best possible outcome. And you can always find help if you need it. Teachers are available during office hours or by appointment, and some even have teacher's assistants for additional help. You can also seek help from your Spelman sisters. Just remember don't stress!
    Dorm Life

    When first come there's a huge possibility that you won't know a majority of your class, but this is the time to meet new people. The freshman dorms aren't all that great, but it's still fun, and the dorms get better as you move up in classification.
    Food and Dining

    The food is great when you first get here but after a while it becomes repetitive, but that can probably be said about many institutions.
    What to do for fun

    Spelman is part of the AUC, Atlanta university Center, so even if there may not be any thing going on on campus, there could be activities over at Morehouse or Clark Atlanta University. At Morehouse on Wednesdays they have Hump Wednesday, and Spelman had Market Friday on Fridays. And the Spelman group P.O.S.S.E is always working to have fun events on campus. Also coming here gives you a chance to explore the city of Atlanta as well.
    Bang for the buck

    Spelman is an expensive school, but if you come here with a serious attitude and willing to succeed, by the time you reach the end of this journey it will have been worth it.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    There are several traditions at Spelman college, one that you become familiar with is the tradition of the white dress. As incoming freshman the first time you wear your white dress is during orientation week during, then later on during the school year on founder's day. On Founder's Day the freshmen and the seniors (wearing their white dresses underneath their cap and gowns) walk to sister's chapel and view the founder's day ceremony. The final time wearing you wear your white dress will be as you walk across that stage a Spelman graduate. There are a few more traditions but you'll learn of them when you get here!
    Clubs and Activities

    Although it is a private institution there are a variety of clubs that you can join at Spelman. There is glee club, french club, psychology club, and many more. Spelman College has a few sports teams such as tennis, basketball, softball, and soccer. And if you don't want to play a sport but would still like to work out there are several exercise classes available (zumba, kickboxing, yoga, swimming, etc), or you can just work out by yourself at your own pace in Read Hall. Throughout the school year there are many campus events and show to keep you entertained, just don't let them distract from your studies!
    Campus Safety

    Public safety does their very best to make sure that all students feel safe. They may seem strict but only because they have your best interests in mind.

    spelman college is a traditional,african-american liberal arts college for women.i love the sisterhood that spelman encompasses,and the ease of navigating the campus.spelman is currently becoming more of a green campus,and implementing campus-wide initiatives in regards to sustainability.
    Tips for prospective students

    i would suggest getting to know the upper class students and becoming more familiar with the professors.keep and maintain a working relationship with your professors,as they will become good references when applying for grad school,scholarships,and internships.
    Academic Rigor

    the professors are very knowledgeable,and most are helpful,in terms of ensuring that students attain the knowledge and can apply it to everyday life.there are several resources on campus to help students learn,including tutors,a learning resource center,language comprehension/computer center,and a career center.there are several majors to choose from,and throughout a student's matriculation,they will have several advisers that will guide them throughout their collegiate career.
    Dorm Life

    as a freshman,the dorms help to establish strong friendships,and sisterhood.i did not have the opportunity to stay on campus,but plenty of my friends were able to partake in the opportunity.it is agreed,however,that room and board costs greatly,but students enjoy the ease of being able to maneuver around campus.unfortunately,freshman and sophomores are not allowed to have vehicles,but the good news is,spelman recently built new on-campus,green apartments with their very own parking garage and dining cafeteria.
    Food and Dining

    there are several locations on and around campus to meet student's nutritional needs.there is the alma upshaw cafeteria,the jaguar grill,and the suites dining hall.i personally prefer jaguar grill,because you can get made to order smoothies,burgers,fries,sandwiches,salads and pizza.between spelman and morehouse campuses,is a cafe called jasmine's.some nights,they have a poetry slam and play live jazz music.they have awesome shakes as well.
    What to do for fun

    because spelman is in the heart of downtown atlanta,there are several clubs,bars,and restaurants that students can go to unwind.spelman is specifically located in the west end area,where there is a mall literally five minutes away from school.marta,atlanta's public transit system,will take those students who do not have cars,to various places around atlanta,including the elaborate lenox mall in the wealthy buckhead neighborhood,or to atlantic station,where there are several shops and eateries,including an amc theater and several nightclubs,just to name a few.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    usually,during the first week of freshman orientation,in the middle of the morning,students will awake to the sounds of yelling ra's (resident assistants)asking them to wake up,and come to sister's chapel (campus church)to sing the spelman sisterhood song while holding hands in candlelight.spelman also celebrates founders day in april,where the graduating seniors are allowed to wear their caps and gowns for the first time,and the freshman must wear all white.
    Great for these types of students

    Clubs and Activities

    there are several clubs,and academic or health related clubs on campus.in addition,the spelman wellness center offers classes to help students get in shape and learn various nutritional facts.there are also several workout machines located on campus,and a swimming pool,tennis court,and bowling alley.
    Greek Life

    the greek life is well respected on spelman,and there are several greek organizations on campus.every fall and spring,there is rush,and most of the sororities will host activities throughout each semester on campus.
    Campus Safety

    spelman's public safety office is committed to keeping and maintaining spelman as a safe and productive place to learn and grow.there are several officers,always on duty,and they also patrol the neighborhoods surrounding the campus.they update students,faculty,and staff whenever there is a weather alert,or possible safety concern.

    spelman college is an awesome academic experience for anyone that is lucky enough to be excepted. the staff really wants to see the students succeed and a lot of the people are very assiduous individuals.
    Tips for prospective students

    any student that wants to attend the illustrious spelman college needs to understand that it is not an academically easy school. they also need to understand that spelman gives very little scholarships so most likely they will be taking out loans. my final tip would be that never let anything deter you from your goals. if your dream is to go to spelman make sure that happens because you only get one opportunity to go to college.
    Academic Rigor

    spelman expects academic excellence from every last one of its students. with that being said, achieving academic excellence at spelman is no small feat. the classes are very difficult and it is very time consuming.
    Dorm Life

    the residence halls at spelman college are not ideal. you do not have air conditioning, you can not have refrigerators, you share a very small space and you have a lot of rules. honestly its not a reason to not attend the college though. if you are attending college for a dorm room you have a very small thought process.
    Food and Dining

    the food at spelman is sub-par. there is no restaurants on campus, the grill cost extra and the cafeteria closes early. again this is not a reason not to attend the school. you are attending for education and not proper nourishment.
    What to do for fun

    atlanta in general is such a fun city. students attending spelman have something to do about 90 percent of the time. there are alot of places to visit, malls to shop in, greek activities to go to, stroll sessions to watch and just bonding with your spelman sisters or your morehouse brothers.
    Campus Safety

    spelman is a gated community and we have campus security patrolling 24 hours a day 7 days a week. it is honestly the safest campus i have ever seen.

    spelman is a once in a life time opportunity to pursue your dreams and be surrounded by inspurational people who will help you. spelman is very opportunistic and if you do not come out of here with an internship or scholarship its is because of you and not the school. i love spelman it was my first choice then and will always be my first choice.
    Tips for prospective students

    scholarships, scholarships, scholarships. while spelman is a great opportunity it is expensive and in order to go here you will probably need some financial backing.

    I would say Spelman College is an excellent school for those who want to further their education in a historically black college. The atmosphere is wonderful and professors are always there to help both with school and other things.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you are thinking about attending Spelman College talk to the faculty, meet some of the students both there now and those who have graduated, and talk with those in administration. Schedule a tour of the school with your family and ask the student guide as many questions about the school as possible. Lastly be sure to look at what Spelman requires for new students.
    Academic Rigor

    The course work is not easy, I am a biology major and the professors make you work hard however they are always there to lend a helping hand. The course work may be hard but, it is designed to keep you involved and up to date with modern times.
    Dorm Life

    I did not stay in the dorms because I lived so close to the campus. If a student lives within a certain mileage of the college you can opt out of staying in the dorm if you want.
    Food and Dining

    Spelman, to me, has the most food options for healthy eaters that I have ever seen at a college. The dinning hall server salads, soups, and comfort food. In the other place to eat known as the underground they server fast food. So at spelman college there is food for everyone.
    What to do for fun

    Because Spelman College is located in Atlanta there are always things to do. Whatever you enjoy doing there is something for you to do around the city.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    The most unusual tradition on campus is the white dress ceremony. This is when all those who have been admitted to Spelman College come together for a special ceremony to listen to music, have inspirational speeches, and get pinned.
    Great for these types of students

    Spelman is great for students who are want to go to an HBCU that has a lot of traditions. It is much more of a quiet community with a small number of students in each class. This school is perfect for students who want to feel more than just another face in a sea of students.
    Campus Safety

    Spelman has great security on the campus each person is checked to see who they are before entering the campus. The Security guards are so good that by the first week of school they have learned all of the new students faces.

    I did not intend to attend an HBCU because of the African-American experience but for the lifelong bond that I know I will have as time goes by. The professors are there for you when help is needed the most. I am most certainly appreciative of the education I am receiving thus far.
    Am enjoying being here

    Since I've came to visit in April of 2010, I have fallen in love with Spelman. The experiences I receive here I will not receive anywhere else. I am proud to say I am a Spelmanite. The young ladies I met in my dorm will be my life-long friends as I grow. Spelman is right for me. During NSO, you receive a Morehouse Brother and they are suppose to be there for you as a male role in your life while your here. I love mine too death. They are there for me all the time. We spend time together having fun. There is always something to do off or on campus.
    Bang for the buck

    I was aware prior to applying to Spelman that this institution is very expensive. Everyday I remain steadfast and I am receiving financial aid. I would like to be offered grants and/or scholarships to lighten my load a lot more.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be aware that all of the core requirement classes taken in high school will be required at Spelman. If you live far away, the people that you will be surrounded by will become your family. A loving family. Get Involved but not too involved. You do not have to know what you want to major in but at least be 75% sure.
    Great for these types of students

    This institution is for students who are inspired, ambitious, and well-rounded individuals.
