spelman or uic?
i’m so confused. i’m a junior in high school and i need to start picking my colleges and my dream school is spelman, it just seems so elegant and together and the sisterhood is so close. my family wants me to stay in illinois and go to a university here. they think that if i go to an black college that i might have to take over some classes, because there not the same as the diverse or white colleges. they feel that the other colleges have better book and technology than the historically black ones. my grandpa said that back in the 60,70,80’s i could go to spelman, but now days its better to go an more diverse college. what do you guys think?

My best friend went to Spelman and I went to a different women’s college. She had an incredibly experience there. She felt incredibly academically prepared and also found it to be a really nurturing environment. There are a lot of studies that suggest that women’s colleges in general provide really great places for young women to grow and get wonderful educations. I know my time in a women’s college was great.
In terms of Spelman though, my best friend went on to attend a masters program at MIT and I know lots of her graduating classes went on to super graduate programs so I wouldn’t worry about the books or technology being outdated. I think it has a really strong reputation with graduate programs. I know the professional networking and mentoring there (and at women’s colleges in general) are really great. I’m sure it would be a wonderful, empowering liberal arts experience.
That said, Univ of Illinois is a great school with wonderful faculty. You might want to think about the Urbana Champaign campus though because I’ve heard undergrads have better experiences there…
Good luck!! 🙂
