The HBCU Campus Tour was on hit!!!
November 20, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Hello Scholars,
I just returned from an 8-day tour of HBCU’s. Let me tell you - it was eye opening !!!
The HBCU’s that we visited were awesome. One thing is for sure — all HBCU’s are not the same, there is something for everyone. The campuses ranged from private and small like Oakwood College, to large and bustling like Florida A & M Univeristy. There were colleges in between these poles too.
If you ever have the opportunity, you must take an HBCU tour. It is definitely worth every minute.

The HBCU tour starts this week and I’ll be posting daily about the great schools we’re visiting. I’ll even try to upload pictures.
The tour flies out of Ontario at 5 AM, so I’m typing this before I go lay down.
I’ll talk to you from the road!!
