Testimonials
Attending the Black College Tour my senior year of high school was definitely a stepping stone for my life. Before attending I had set in my mind that i would attend Indiana University, I had no idea how much of an impact this tour would be for me. While going through the process of preparing for the tour i really began to search information on HBCU’s. Howard University eventually became my number one choice. But the BCT gave me a opportunity to see the environment of black colleges and I immediately fell in love. I am so thank for the the opportunity that was provided for me through the BCT and it changed my life. I love Howard University and wouldn’t trade this experience for anything in the world.
