With a newly elected HBCU graduate in the White House, the HBCU Pride amongst students and graduates is at an all time high. The culture of Historically Black College and Universities, and the experience that happens while at these institutions, is unparalleled to none. With this in mind, we wanted to highlight 21 tweets that show the world just how impactful and powerful the HBCU culture is.
Checkout the list below:

Going to an HBCU is great. You’ll have a hair stylist, nail salon, chef, baker, fashion designer and seamstress all in the same dorm as you. Better yet on the same floor.

Choose a HBCU. The experience is unparalleled by anything you can find elsewhere.

If a Morehouse man becomes a U.S. Senator, while a Howard alumna is the Vice-President, and both were aided by a Spelman woman, I NEVER NEVER NEVER want to hear any more talk about HBCU's not preparing you for the "real world".

HBCU bands take songs to places no one else can. You can be a 48x Grammy winner with 300 Billboard top 10 singles. There's a group of kids in Greensboro, Tallahassee and Baton Rouge who will do things with your song that you never imagined.
