Question: Anyone got on your nerves because you didn't go to a HBCU? (more important info below!!!)? OK, I don't go to a historically black college or university (HBCU) and I am black.  There is someone who has been giving me crap concerning this and other things.  I ask if any other African-Americans who don't go to HBCUs encountered something like this?  Any other opinions/answers are welcome!!!

Answer: I didn't go to a HBCU. People should go to the school that meets the qualifications that they've set forth as being priorities. Having in-state tuition at a public university was a big determining factor for me, and unfortunately, there are no HBCU's in the state of Illinois. Hence, I went to a state school.\n\nIf the guy continues to give you crap regarding this, tell him that for most people, the workplace consists of a majority of non-African-Americans, so it was invaluable to learn how to interact with other races and ethnicities on both a personal and business level. And unfortunately, you can't get that knowledge from an HBCU.
