Lovely School to Attend

The colleges we went to see on Tuesday were Georgia Tech, Emory, and Spelman. Georgia Tech has a colossal campus! It was so much to see and so many places to go. Being that we were self guided I didn’t get as much information as I would have liked, but I still enjoyed the tour. Emory was a beautiful school. Not too big, not too small. The lady who was giving us information in the beginning was great! She made the school more accepting and more tempting to go to. Lastly, we went to Spellman college, which was my favorite! I absolutely loved Spelman. The campus was beautiful and phenomenal. I would love to attend school there in the future!

Great Day of Touring

Today we toured three phenomenal colleges. First up was Georgia Tech, a prestigious engineering school. The campus was very large but however still gorgeous. The second was Emory University, a very selective private school. This school had phenomenal educational programs  as well as a gorgeous campus. Finally, we visited the all girl college Spelman. I was really impressed with our tour guide she was very thorough and answered all of our questions with pleasure. All in all we had a great day of touring.

On The Run With Georgia Colleges

Today we visited several places in Georgia. Our first stop was Georgia Tech. This was a very nice college that centered a lot around engineering. They also seemed to be very supportive and encouraging of their women engineers. Our next stop was Emory University. A college with an extremely gorgeous campus and lots of program to offer. Then the guys and girls split up to visit Morehouse and Spelman colleges. Spelman- the all girls college had a very nice campus and a lot to offer as well. After visiting all of these wonderful colleges we headed to the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic site. This was a great experience in which we were able to pay homage to a very significant piece of our black history. All in all it was a pretty busy day but well worth the experience.

Three College In One Day

On July 15, 2014 we visited not two, but three colleges. These colleges were Georgia Tech, which had a very large campus, one of the largest we had been to. The others were Emory University and Morehouse College. Now Georgia Tech we had to do a self-guided tour, which was even better because we can go where we wanted to, but that doesn’t mean it was my favorite college, my favorite college would had to had been Emory University, the reason for that is because they did not lack character, and that’s what I like to look for in people, and overall the campus was just beautiful. Now last but not least we went Morehouse and Spelman, we were split up and the girls went to Spellman and the boys stayed at Morehouse because it is a all guy college. The campus there is really compacted, but I don’t mind compacted, the tour guide was cool and I just really appreciated him.

Three Spectacular Colleges

 

Today we toured three spectacular colleges. First on the list was Georgia Tech, a well- known engineering school. The campus was huge but beautiful nonetheless. The second college was Emory University, a very selective private school. Lastly, we visited the all girl college Spelman. I was really impressed with our tour guide she was really nice and sincere. Overall, I had fun and learned a lot!

College Tour Experience

Georgia Tech is a very nice college! We walked around the campus and it was pretty nice and clean. The tour guide showed us around campus and gave us facts about Georgia tech. After we got our tour of the college we stopped by the bookstore and some people picked out different things. I really liked Georgia tech because the people seemed nice, polite, and most of all respectful. Mrs.Monique made sure everybody was well fed after this tour and we went to Varsity, a restaurant.

The next college we visited was Emory University. Now this is one of the colleges I would really consider applying for my senior year. This is because I really like how the dorms look and Emory has a lot to offer. We also played a little GPA game that was really cool and fun. I was one of the volunteers in this game and I had lots of fun!

The last college we visited was Spelman University. Usually visiting Spelman doesn’t work out but this time we had a wonderful time at Spelman! Our tour guide was absolutely amazing. She did an awesome job with being detailed with us about Spelman, and she answered lots of questions for us. After we walked around Spelman’s campus, we went to the bookstore to check some stuff out, and I ended up buying a cute little Spelman University shirt.

HBCU: Yay or Nae

Today we visited Spelman and Emory University and I absolutely loved the both of them! They offered many opportunities that will help students to further their future career. I would have to say that my favorite university is Spelman! I say this because they have a very strict policy about males not going on campus at all. Females may go to the all boy college Morehouse anytime they would like but it’s forbidden for them to go on the females campus. A strict policy like this would make me more focus on my goal and have less distractions to deal with. Spelman’s campus was very small but felt comfortable, almost like home. I truly could see myself attending this college in the future, it has everything I look for in a university. I think historically black colleges are very great for people who are comfortable being with the same race but, if an individual is looking for a more diversity  they should attend a regular college. Being with more diversity will get a person more prepared with the real world. 

About Spelman

While visiting I learned about the requirements, history of the school, and the opportunities the school offer.

The requirements to get into Spelman are to have a minimum GPA of a 3.6 and a ACT score of 24. You would have a better chance of getting accepted if you have extra curricular activities and leadership skills. In order to graduate you must have completed 120 credit hours and the certain amount of credit hours for your major.

Spelman College was founded in 1881 in the basement of Friendship Baptist Church by two teachers in Atlanta, Georgia. The teachers who founded the school came to Atlanta to educate former enslaved women.

Spelman is the number one school to send African American women to medical school. The college offers a Bachelor of Arts degrees; Art,Child Development, Drama and Dance,Economics, English, etc. The Bachelor of Sciences are Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry, Computer and information Sciences, Engineering, Mathematics, etc. Spelman has a 80% four year graduation rate.

This is what I learned from the tour.

Three Colleges in One Day

Miraculously, we went to three schools and a historical site! We were able to visit Georgia Tech, Emory and Spelman! We also went to the MLK site where I learned a lot of information on the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, his wife, Coretta Scott King, and Rosa Parks.

Georgia Tech has been my favorite school down south since for a while now. I’ve been dying to come back and hopefully receive even more information on the prestigious university. I was a little disappointed though because we were not able to get a guided tour this year. I feel like I missed out on information that I need before applying to colleges in a few weeks.

Emory is absolutely breathtaking. The entire campus is fenced off, but right outside of the gates is the heart of Atlanta. With a $5.4 billion endowment, the college had been able to put a lot of their money into their students and their campus. Both the admissions director and the tour guide were exceptional. They made sure that we understood what we should be focusing on in high school to make ourselves marketable for colleges. The tour guide was very sweet, more than we deserved to be honest! She covered every inch of the campus.

Overall though, Spelman was the shows topper of the day. I DID NOT WANT TO GO TO SPELMAN. I had heard too many negative comments about the students and faculty of the school, but boy I am do grateful that we went! Our tour guide was absolutely phenomenal. She completely changed my view on the college AND she might be the reason that I apply when I get back home. She stressed the need for sisterhood and education. She was very informative and she was a newly graduate of the school! She knew more about her school than any of the other admissions directors could tell me about  their schools. They have a dual program for both engineering and nursing which are the two schools that I am interested in. Spelman was the winner of the day!
