    Great for these types of students

    Outgoing and friendly people fit right in at Morehouse. There are all types of people at Morehouse and you'll make friends your first year no matter who you are. Academic success is important to most people on campus, so driven , hard working students do the best at Morhouse.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be outgoing. You're not going to meet anyone or have any fun sitting in your room all day. Get into activities, whatever interests you do it. Go to parties, have fun, live life. For academic success make sure you go to class and turn in your work on time. Don't fall behind b/c the work will keep piling on. Ask for help when you need it b/c help is available. Get in cool with your professors b/c you never know if you'll really need there help. FYI coming in class late and not showing up to class at all frequently is a slap in your professors face. They won't like that and will be less likely to do you a favor, trust me.
    Bang for the buck

    For almost 40k a year in total costs, there is definite room for improvement. For starters, the cafeteria or the Caf could be waayyyyy better. Fried chicken Wednesday's are OK, but besides that you might get tired of eating pizza and fries every day. You get used to it though and it's not that bad, just needs some improvements. Could use some updated facilities. Like for me personally I would like a bigger weight room and another basketball court b/c Archer can get packed sometimes. Your in West End ATL so you're not paying for the scenic views, but you are really close to downtown so it's easy to get places. Costs do not meet expectations but you will learn to adapt. It'll be a good experience for you ha ha.
    Am enjoying being here

    Atlanta is a great place to go to school. The city is fun and has a great night life. There's a bunch of other school's in Atlanta, so if you ever get tired of being in the AUC you can always head to Georgia State, Emory, GA Tech just to name a few and find something to get into. It's very easy to meet people and make new friends. You'll have PLENTY of opportunities to meet Clark and Spelman girls so don't worry. There will be a lot of 5 Star rated Spelman girls with deep pockets so, ummm yea. It really is a cool place to be, and the people and the whole Atlanta atmosphere really makes up for some of Morehouse's shortcomings.
    Am learning a lot

    How you do and how much you learn your freshman year really depends on how challenging your high school was. To be honest, my freshman year was kind of a breeze. Of course you have to study and make sure you GO TO CLASS, but if you do what you need to do to be successful you'll be fine. I know kids that were failing basic algebra, so really it depends on your high school course work. Of course that was just your general core classes, not too hard. The rigor of the course work will increase as you matriculate (you'll hear that word a lot), but if you put in the work you'll be fine. This is all based on my freshman year though. The teacher's are good for the most part and you can get plenty of 1on1 time with your prefessor which is a great thing. Theres always help when you need it from student tutors and your professors.

    Great for these types of students

    Morehouse College is great for students who have family in Georgia. Its a bit challenging to get used to if you are used to living in cities such as Manhattan. However, if you have a car or you just have good knowledge of Georgia, then this college might just be for you.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you are considering coming to Morehouse College, I suggest looking into buying an apartment. I also suggest having a car because its extremely difficult to get around. I also suggest that you network with as many students and faculty/staff that you can. Its extremely helpful in the long run.
    Bang for the buck

    I am not too sure about this one. The school is quite expensive. I don't think we are getting everything we paid for. I suggest living off campus because it saves you a huge amount of money.
    Am enjoying being here

    I'm not too sure if I am enjoying my stay here at Morehouse College. I am used to the transportation system from New York. I was able to just hop on the bus or train and go anywhere. Down here in Georgia, they do have the MARTA system, but it takes time to get used to. You literally have to use the MARTA if you need anything. Nothing is in walking distance, which is one of the main reasons I am not enjoying my stay here. I have to spend extra money just to get something simple.
    Am learning a lot

    I am learning quite a lot. The majority of the teachers here are excellent and actually know how to teach. They have office hours if you want to have a one-on-one conversation with them. They don't play around because at the end of the day, its your grade and your money so they know to be serious about that. However, there are a handful of teachers who really shouldn't teach because they can't get anything done in a timely manner and then the student(s) end up suffering because of them.

    Great for these types of students

    This is an environment i can honestly recommend for anyone because Morehouse accepts students from every background imaginable. You name it, there's a sub-community for all your interests, needs, and background. There's something at Morehouse for every young man...
    Tips for prospective students

    Stay hungry, stay focused, but remain humbled. Its very easy to lose your humility in an environment of success and in an environment of praise. Remember that with that praise comes expectation, an expectation that as a Man of Morehouse you are well learned, well behaved, well dressed, and well aware just to name a few. Learn to embrace the meaning of brotherhood and family, remain open minded, and never cease to challenge not only yourself but those around you.
    Bang for the buck

    For the cost, you look at the facilities and around the campus and as a student of course you wonder Where is all this money going. No Morehouse doesn't have amazing athletic facilities, not many state of the art classrooms or labs, and no the dorms aren't hardly fancy. However the bang for your buck comes from the culture of Morehouse and the AUC. This is very much a community that forces one to be social and network. This network you build, will be something you can depend on for the rest of your life and the extensiveness of the network is beyond comprehension.
    Did enjoy being here

    Initially I swayed about how much I was really liking Morehouse College. I mean paying so much money and having the West End be my welcoming mat, I just had my doubts. However this turned out to be one of, if not thee best decision I ever made in life. The people there were phenomenal and there was always something exciting going on. Its a one of a kind atmosphere that I'm blessed to have experienced.
    Did learn a lot

    Learning at Morehouse College occurs not only in the classroom but in everyday happenings around the campus. This is an amazing environment for exchanging knowledge and experiences because of all the schools in close proximity bringing in people from all over the world of tremendously different backgrounds. How much you learn is only limited by your own desires.

    During New Student Orientation (NSO) week, a program called A Candle In the Dark occurs in the wee hours of the morning. I can't tell you exactly what it is but I highly encourage you to attend. In my opinion, you aren't truly a Man of Morehouse if you haven't experienced it. Important Note: If you are attending the college, you are a Man of Morehouse. Once you have graduated, then and only then are you a Morehouse Man. Don't wear any Morehouse paraphernalia until AFTER Spirit Night during NSO week.
    Bang for the buck

    Honestly, the campus leaves you wondering where the 40K is going. A lot of the buildings are in need of renovations. But don't let this take away from your campus experience. The students make the campus, not its facilities.
    What to do for fun

    It is Atlanta, so the possibilities are endless. There are numerous malls that can be accessed via MARTA. There are shuttles that run to facilities in the area including the West End Mall and two MARTA train stations. Greek probates are always fun. There are always different events on campus to attend including the annual celebrity basketball game as well as homecoming festivities. There are parties EVERY week. Don't get wrapped up in these parties because they happen very often. Your education comes first.
    Food and Dining

    The food in the caf is bearable. You can catch your good days and the bad ones. The meals get repetitive from week to week to the point that you can accurately predict what you are having to eat. However, there is a Papa John's, Kilgore Snack Bar, and Jazzman's Cafe on campus that you can get a variety of food from, but you have to pay for those. During your freshman year, you get $25 dollars each semester that can be spent between these places. After your first year, you can change your meal plan to include more additional dollars on your account.
    Dorm Life

    The residence halls represent different learning communities dependent upon your major and career aspirations. For example, Brazeal Hall is primarily for iSTEM (Innovations in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) students. This is an easy way to form study groups and find students that have common academic interests. Also, there is a friendly rivalry between freshmen residence halls. We have step team and stroll team competitions, and also a year-long competition for residence hall of the year. Now, for the bad. Bathroom facilities are communal so they are shared with everyone on your floor. Not all men are sanitary, so it can get a little annoying. Another bad thing is that freshmen are not allowed to have female visitation in the residence halls until after homecoming, which doesn't happen until mid-October.
    Academic Rigor

    Classes get tougher as you get farther into your major. Your freshman year should be a breeze as long as you attend class and study very often! Take your freshmen year as an opportunity to take easy classes and pad your GPA before the tougher classes roll in.
    Tips for prospective students

    Any skills that you have (instrumental, singing, art, etc.), use them to your advantage. These skills will help you gain titles on campus that will pad your resume for the future. Also, at the end of your orientation week you will be paired with your Spelman sister. Don't take this as your next target as a girlfriend. Your Spelman sister is your link to Spelman College and all of it's opportunities whether that means other Spelmanites, classes, or even jobs. Treat her like a queen.
    In three sentences

    Morehouse College is internationally known for producing successful African American men. A Morehouse education is a cultural experience like no other. Once you graduate as a Morehouse Man, you join a network of fellow Morehouse Men who will do anything to help you along your path in the future.

    Tips for prospective students

    Apply for as many scholarships as you can and remember that this is a college setting, even though it may be reminiscent of high school at times. Your GPA and National test scores will mean everything upon graduation so if you can't really afford to screw up early on. Enjoy your time in college, but always remember what you are there for. Morehouse will treat you well, as long as you smile and stay clear of the financial department.
    Bang for the buck

    I'm currently paying about double of what the tuition is at Georgia State... Per semester. My student loans will probably eat me alive. The academics are well-founded though, and many of the experiences found here at Morehouse cannot be found anywhere else in the country. I really appreciate the opportunities given here at Morehouse and I will be a proud graduate soon.
    Am enjoying being here

    Most of the professors here are kind and care about the academic well-being of their students, but like all colleges there are some professors who are only here for a paycheck. The atmosphere in the Biology field also creates a Dog Eat Dog mentality with classmates which will make it hard to find worthwhile help. Persevere and keep your eyes on your goals and you will do well.
    Am learning a lot

    The field of Biology at Morehouse College is very detailed and taught by some of thud most distinguished professors in the United States. The Biology track here is also very rigorous though, and many will drop out of he program immediately if you are brave enough to continue, just know that it won't get easier. Study hard and work harder.

    Campus Safety

    Police security has been better at not allow any an everyone on our campus, checking I.D.s every time you leave campus and re-entering. Room checks continue to prevent any dangerous items or people from destroying Morehouse College good name.
    Greek Life

    In every campus the fraternities have their mark. Once you hear the chants and see the strolls you automatically get pulled in to the college atmosphere. Alphas, Kappas, Omegas, and Sigmas can be found on our campus at any time of the day. Joining a brotherhood such as these is a difficult decision, make the correct choice.
    Clubs and Activities

    The clubs here allow you to introduce yourself to an entire different group of individuals with the same strengths and weaknesses of you. It is up to you to pick the right group to join. Either it is the NAACP, or the Honors Program.

    Funny thing about the food on campus will continue to be the same. Cafe food is the same as that of when you were a child. The only difference is the wide variety of different foods to choose from.
    Dorm Life

    Not much can be said about staying in a dorm. The thing to remember is you sleep there you do not live there. Confused are you? You actually live in the study halls. Staying in any dorm depends on your year in college. Freshman dorms are said to be the most immature but continue to be active. Where as being an upperclassmen academia are taken more seriously and the halls of those dorms are quiet. In the end your dorm life is ultimately up to you.
    Academic Rigor

    The professors do not allow any excuses for being late or missing class. Docking off points on your grade can come very easily, but you must be in class in order to pass. Test can save you in most cases but homework and quizzes must be taken seriously.
    Tips for prospective students

    In order to succeed here you must study and apply yourself. Parties and the fun times will be there, remember why you went to college.

    Campus Safety

    Morehouse College is open to the public and is very easy to access. Some students have been robbed and the police force lacks in their department of maintaining a safe environment. However, students quickly understand the do's and don'ts to maintain personal safety. For instance, students are encouraged to lock their doors every time they leave the room and travel with groups at night. Morehouse students are usually targeted for robberies so wearing Morehouse paraphernalia is strongly discouraged.
    Greek Life

    You will easily know who is apart of Greek Life. Each fraternity always shows up for every event and are well known amongst the student body. Students cannot join until their sophomore year, but the students that do join are always active.
    Clubs and Activities

    There is always something to do and always an organization to join. Opportunities for a leadership role are always available. Creativity is encouraged. Clubs will usually get together and make a huge memorable event.

    If you come to Morehouse on scholarship (which is very likely), then yes. The cost of room and board alone is worth it if you attend all that Morehouse offers. The students that don't do much on campus are the ones wasting their money. Enjoy what you paid for.
    What to do for fun

    When students think of fun they think of off-campus activities. Morehouse College is right down the street from the Marta and students are always found venturing through Atlanta for a good time. On the weekends students are usually found in the illustrious Lennox Mall perusing through stores or enjoying the night-life at Atlantic Station. Parties are always advertised for those party-goers, and lounge restaurants are only a Marta ride away for students who enjoy a relaxing get-away. On Campus, Morehouse students provide Hump-Wednesday, which is a large get-together amongst all the AUC students (Clark Atlanta, Morehouse, and Spelman). Step teams show their moves, students dance and eat, and sometimes celebrities come visit. The cast of Think Like a Man came last year and Kevin Hart spoke from the mic. Students are also encouraged to attend sporting events, student-led fashion shows, Open mic nights (Thursdays), fraternity competitions, and more.
    Food and Dining

    Chivers Dining Hall provides a wide assortment of dishes (some better than others). They will normally serve usual dishes such as lasagna, baked chicken, rice and vegetables. Other times students are surprised with frog legs, crocodile, venison, and seasoned tofu. Students always rush to get the fried chicken wednesday specials (fried chicken, mac n' cheese, collards, cornbread, and black-eye peas) and fried fish fridays specials. There are different lines to choose from, which satisfy the students' appetites (stir-fry, on the grill, pizza, salad bar, and main dish). Once students have their plates they can sit down and socialize with all the students there, watch T.V. (sports or news), or converse with the servers who always remember your face and greet you with a smile and the usual Southern hospitality. If Chivers' meal plan doesn't satiate the appetite one can always venture over to Kilgore Hall and pay out of pocket for some curly fries, subs, sandwiches, Chicken Fingers, Burgers, and more. There is also the option of Papa Johns, Freshens, and Jazzman's Cafe which are all on campus. If one doesn't want to eat on-campus food they can go to Spelman College for sushi (upcoming) or subway.
    Dorm Life

    Dorm life at Morehouse College will make your college years your best years. You will meet tons of characters. The RD's and RA's are extremely dedicated to molding the students into respectable men.They are open to their residents and are usually found driving their residents out to get late night snacks and fast foods. Residence Hall pride is encouraged through RH (residence hall) step teams and awards for best hall. Nevertheless, all halls intermingle on a daily via the close-knit student body. Morehouse College also provides daily janitorial services and a Residence Hall Counsel which tends to the needs of the residents on a daily.
    Academic Rigor

    Freshman work load varies between turn-in-questions, class presentations, and ten-page papers. The first semester will surely be an eye-opener to students who are still in High-School mode. The professors will work you hard and it is personal responsibility to assure deadlines are met.
    Tips for prospective students

    Know your path. Know what you want to achieve and understand what it will take to achieve it. One cannot simply enter Morehouse College and expect to land a high-paying job in the socioeconomic world. Morehouse College offers connections more-so than clout. The College is not ivy-league and easy to manage; however, Morehouse is loved for the challenge. Know the staff. Be on top of everything in terms of financials, curriculum, and demands. Students who have financial problems are usually found in the financial office day and night racking-up on scholarships that are not advertised. These students take initiative and show the staff that they are willing to work for what they want. The same goes for students who are well in-tune with their major department. These students find summer jobs and research programs much easier than students who do internet searches, because they take initiative in their studies. The best students of Morehouse College are the most respected. The most respected students show the most initiative. Therefore, the best students of Morehouse College show the most initiative.

    Morehouse College does not provide its boys with a luxurious experience. However, the luxury is promised to those boys who allow Morehouse College to mold them into men. Howard Thurman said, “Over the heads of her students, Morehouse holds a crown that she challenges them to grow tall enough to wear.”

    Campus Safety

    Located within the heart of the West End there are a few safety issues. The campus police staff appear to be lack-luster at times this may be due to the comparisons to neighboring force guarding the impenetrable Spelman College. Overall you are adequately educated on the dangers of the surrounding area and your safety is first determined by your own decision making.
    Clubs and Activities

    There are a great deal of organizations to get involved with on campus. If you can't find one of your liking their is always the opportunity to construct you own.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Crown forum is an event held on Thursdays in the renowned King's Chapel. During this event famous speakers and alumni come and address students on informative issues.
    Bang for the buck

    To be honest you would be paying more for the name of the college than the education itself. Morehouse has gain recognizable status in society and the name the brand carries opens many doors. But through an increase in Alumni giving and better expenditures on the colleges behalf its amenities can be brought up to the high standards the name carries.
    What to do for fun

    You're in Atlanta attending a school that borders Spelman and Clark Atlanta University need I say more. There will always be an event or someone promoting something that may catch your interest. Campus life is entertaining especially an event known as Hump Wednesday reminiscent of a campus block party held every Wednesday.
    Food and Dining

    You will hear many complaints about Chivers cafeteria but the food itself is not horrible. These complaints may stem from the hours of operation or even the menu choice. Overall the cafeteria will be a place of philosophical and heated discussion that are often extremely entertaining.
    Dorm Life

    The facilities themselves are lacking. The university often uses the word historic to forgo to the upgrading of amenities. Although the residential halls (not dorms) are somewhat lacking they foster a brotherhood that will last well beyond matriculation.
    Academic Rigor

    You have to opportunity to succeed and everything is there for you it is only up to you to take advantage of the provided tools. If you truly apply yourself you will reap the full benefits of a Morehouse education. But it is extremely easy to become distracted by the happenings in the Atlanta area.
    Tips for prospective students

    Do not get caught up in the many things the city of Atlanta has to offer. Many students go down to the Atlanta University Center (AUC) and are swept up in the party-life and lose sight of what they are down there for in the first place. Take full advantage of the classes you take your freshman year because they will in fact be the easiest and the cornerstone of your GPA.

    Great for students who do not like the huge college experience and want to have a more personal experience.
    Bang for the buck

    Morehouse could definitely offer more bang for your buck. As great as Morehouse College is, it is somewhat of a gritty school. You will need to struggle some, and this struggle is what makes you a distinguished man of Morehouse. There are some things that Morehouse students complain about; food, administration, teachers, financial aid, but overall the experience is unmatched and exceptional.
    What to do for fun

    There are a lot of fun things to do around campus. A campus organization called C.A.S.A is generally responsible for putting on events around campus. Every Wednesday there is a block party called Hump Wednesday because it represents the hump of the week. Every Thursday there is a poetry jam at Jazzmynes cafe. During the week you can find many random events including plays, music jams, movie showings or you can choose to be old fashion and just sit outside and enjoy the Atlanta weather. Also, if you ever get tired of Morehouse students the lovely ladies of Spelman are right next door and the students of Clark Atlanta are close by as well. The three schools share a bond with each other and the students interact daily. Also off campus Atlanta has tons of things to offer.
    Food and Dining

    The dining hall at Morehouse College is called Chivers Dining hall. Any Morehouse student will tell you Chivers does not resemble a 5 star restaurant so dont get your hopes up too high. Chivers does make an effort to give you creative entrees. The cafeteria does offer three meals and some staple points that if you eat you should be on the safe side. The best options are the burgers, friends, stir fry line, fried chicken, rice, and fish. Besides the food, sometimes the serving times can be frustrating. If you miss the cafe at the main serving times, you can still get food around campus. The other options are Kilgore plaza where they serve amazing chicken tenders. Also there is a Papa Johns, Jazzmans cafe and a Freshens for all your other needs.
    Dorm Life

    The dorms are not top tier but they do serve their purpose. As an freshman your dorm options are very limited. This is because the administrations wants to give the freshman a more structured experience. As an upperclassmen you have more options including the best dorm on campus called the suites. The suites allows you to have a single connected by a common room. There are four bedrooms and two bathrooms in every suite. One has the option of having a suite with a kitchen and stove top as well. This dorm is the most popular because of the freedom each student has. Overall Morehouse dorms do a great job of creating a community sense between the students. Generally when living in the dorms, you pick up many new friends.
    Academic Rigor

    Morehouse College is very rigorous academically. Though a student's individual work load will depend on their major, generally an average night has at least 3 hours of homework. While a student at Morehouse you should always maintain a work calendar because long term projects need to be handle in increments. With daily assignments and long term assignments if you wait too long they can definitely become overwhelming.
    Tips for prospective students

    I encourage you to apply to Morehouse, visit and speak with the students. One thing you will notice is the overall upbeat rapport of the students. At Morehouse is important to get involved on campus and really make the teachers and staff your friends. Morehouse will give you back everything that you put into it, so the more effort the better.

    Morehouse College has turned the educational experience of college into a community improving experience. At Morehouse College your are challenged to do your best but what makes it special is the brotherhood you develop. While you strive to do your best your brothers will be with you stride for stride doing their best as well.

    There are parties every single night in the AUC area and party buses come to the school to pick students up but you have to find your own way back.

    If you don't expect for the cafe to serve five-star, Olive Garden quality meals, then you're already off to a good start. The food is delicious and they offer great variety, including meal choices for vegans and vegitarians. The cafe offers a salad bar and pizza daily, but over time, you'll get used to the food and when that happens, you'll find yourself ordering food every night. (Please don't do that, save $)
    Dorm Life

    Morehouse is an old school so some residential halls won't be equipped with the latest in technology HD TVs or IKEA quality furniture, but every residence hall is not the same, so find one that fits your needs. I recommend Graves Hall, which has the best view of the campus.

    Campus Safety

    Inside Morehouse College, is a pretty save place. The area that Morehouse College is in called West End can be danger if you are not careful. Morehouse encourages their students not to wear Morehouse clothing off campus grounds. If you go downtown in Atlanta wearing Morehouse clothing, then it should be cool. The local West End residents might think you are an easy target if you attend Morehouse, but most of them are not looking for trouble. Morehouse College has campus police, and some of them look like incredible hulks walking around.
    Greek Life

    Morehouse has all the fraternities you could think of. We have Omegas, Alfas,Kappas etc. Each fraternity has different colors and chants. They have Stroll offs(stepping) battles between each other. Some Fraternities have Barbeque's and cookouts, which are live. They have parties that they host, and if you are apart of their Frat, then you get in for free. The movie Stomp The Yard was filmed at Morehouse College, which is a movie with Fraternities step battling each other.
    Clubs and Activities

    Morehouse has sport teams for almost all sports. They have a team for Basketball, Football, Baseball etc. They have a especially strong Football team. Morehouse has Business clubs and other clubs for different Majors. Some of the clubs go on road trips. They even have clubs for musicians and poets. Also, they have clubs with benefits and opportunities for your future. In the Business club( like MBA), you get to meet Morehouse alumni and they help you find business opportunities.

Morehouse College is the third Historically Black College University in the nation just behind Howard and Spelman. They prepare African American men for the world, but other ethnicity groups also study at Morehouse College. It equips men in general for the world.

    In the beginning of your Freshman year at Morehouse, you will attend this event called Olive Branch. This is the first time you meet the Freshman girls from Clark and Spelman. Olive Branch, is a big dance held at night on Clark Atlanta's football field. The girls arrive at the football field first and wait for the boys, then all the boys from Morehouse and Clark go to the field. There will be a DJ there. Also, another tradition Morehouse has is that Freshman get paired up with Spelman and Clark sisters. The Morehouse Freshman will walk in a straight line to Kings Chapel. The Spelman girls will walk from Spelman ,and a person will pair you up with a girl from Spelman and you will exchange contact information with them. She can become a close friend and introduce you to her other friends from Spelman.

    Martin Luther King Jr., Spike Lee, and Samuel L. Jackson graduated from Morehouse College. Morehouse is in Atlanta, Georgia, so there are many activities to do. It is an all boy school, but has so many girls around it. Spelman College is a school near Morehouse. Clark Atlanta University is another school near Morehouse. All the schools share the same library, and most of the events like Homecoming are shared by all three schools. Clark is a boy and girl school, but Clark has way more girls than boys. Spelman is an all girl school, and it has more girls in it than Morehouse has of boys. The schools are so close that sometimes when walking out of your residents hall, you will see a couple of girls on the stoop.

    Campus Safety

    Campus security was questionable in the past but thanks to the current Student Government Association, the campus safety has risen dramtically.
    Clubs and Activities

    There is a club for almost anything on campus and if there isn't the good thing about this campus is that you can create it if there isn't.
    Great for these types of students

    Great for students who like traditions and those who enjoy having fun while serious about their education.
    What to do for fun

    There are parties nearly ever weekend here in Atlanta just for the college students in the Atlanta University Center. There is a recreational hall here on campus where swimming, basketball, weightlifting and exercising, pool and ping pong occurs, not to mention that we are right next to Forbes Arena where many celebrities come to host their basketball games.
    Food and Dining

    The food here is not 5 star and the Cafeteria itself sometimes does not meet expectations but nevertheless it is a buffet style cafeteria that has many choices to choose from and includes cultural foods weekly.
    Dorm Life

    This campus is dedicated to make sure that you make the most out of everything and that means within your dorm. There are countless events to represent your dorm in games and events that happen around campus. Every freshman is highly encouraged and almost nearly required to have a roommate. This helps increase the brotherly bonds made here and increases the size of your network.
    Tips for prospective students

    The tips that I will share is to make sure you come with an open mind because even though this is an HBCU it still has a bit of diversity on the campus. Focus on what you are here for; there are lots of opportunities to have fun but staying focused in your studies is imperative.

    Food and Dining

    The food here is a lot better than you would think. For the money we spend on an unlimited meal plan as a freshman, unlimited is definitely that! The burgers and fries are amazing! And there is nothing better than Fried Chicken Wednesdays!
    Dorm Life

    There is nothing more exciting and fun then dorm wars between the Freshman halls at Morehouse! Between the different hall chants, step shows, stroll-offs, basketball tournaments, and residence hall Olympics, there is a lot of fun. Not only do you build a bond with your dorm mates, but you also meet other kids from other halls.
    Academic Rigor

    At Morehouse College, your study habits and time management skills will be put to the test. If you surround yourself with people who know how to study effectively and are willing to help you, rather than people who constantly party, you will go farther.
    Tips for prospective students

    1. Make sure that you get enough sleep (roughly 6-8 hours). 2. School is your priority, partying can wait! 3. Get involved with student organizations.

    Campus Safety

    Morehouse Police, along with Clark Atlanta Police, make sure that there is never a problem on and around campus. while they do take their jobs seriously, they are also extremely easy to talk to, and can even become your friends. However, do not ever take them lightly, for they are damn good at their jobs.
    Greek Life

    Greeks are everywhere, and they are always bringing life to any program. if you are planning to pledge, then you will find alot of greeks willing to persuade you y=to their brotherhood. and if you go into the school without a single bit of knowledge on greeks, just like i did, you will learn ALOT within the first month and a half Guaranteed!
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    there is a program in the beginning of the year that requires you to run around campus at 5 in the morning for the benefit of your growth. i cannot divulge the specifics of this program, but it does teach you alot about the values of being a man of morehouse.
    What to do for fun

    Living in Atlanta, there is never a dull moment. whenever you are not playing in the recreational center or playing on the football field, you are probably going to a party on and off campus. all i can say is, there will be so much happening at once that you might become overwhelmed, but you cannot ever say that there's nothing to do.
    Food and Dining

    at first, the dining experience will be a surprise and will please you, but just as school lunch has always been, you may find yourself getting tired of the cafe. the food quality is always great, and the hours are convenient, and the cafe tries its best to bring variety to the menu, but eventually too much of a good thing gets to be bad.
    Dorm Life

    The dorms provide a clean, sanitary, and comfortable living space for the men of Morehouse. also, one will find themselves becoming closer to the brothers of your dorm, easily acting like one big household. just do your part to keep the place as clean as you found it and all will be well.
    Academic Rigor

    Classes that are seen as academic requirements may or may not challenge you, that solely depends on your current knowledge going into college. however, with this being said, the classed designed for your major are designed to, and efficient in, teaching something new to the students. the work is challenging in many different ways, whether it be the difficulty of the work, the quantity of the work, or both. either way, there is going to be days where you might end up spending hours upon hours in the library.
    Tips for prospective students

    for those who wish to attend the House, i offer small tidbits of advice. first of all, contact the school regularly, get your name known around the faculty, and even try to visit the campus. making friends in high places is highly recommended, in case you need help with...lets say... FUNDING. for those who are planning to attend from outside the state, like myself, i would recommend to learn your way around atlanta, especially the MARTA metro system. it is relatively easy to learn and the MARTA train is closeby the school and takes you just about anywhere in Atlanta. granted, the school's location is slightly isolated, yet close enough to the stores that carry the necessities. Lastly, is you are committed to coming to the school, MAKE YOUR FRESHMAN YEAR COUNT! Take that opportunity to establish a solid GPA (no lower than a 3.5) so you have something to fall back on as time progresses. trust me, it will help to have solid grades your first year. OH, and have fun! it's still college after all.

    Dorm Life

    Dorm life is EVERYTHING at Morehouse College. The dorm wars, the chants, strolling, stepping, all of it defines your hall. I strolled for my hall, was president of my hall, and managed to put on a few events with my hall council. It doesn't matter where you stay, all that's needed is to put your hall on the map!
    Academic Rigor

    The classes are not overwhelmingly difficult. They are made to challenge you, some more than others. I suggest that if you are a prospective student to do the Pre-Freshman Summer Program. If not that, then have faith in yourself and seek help when you need it,
    Tips for prospective students

    GET SCHOLARSHIPS!! Morehouse is expensive and paying out of pocket can be a burden. I advise not only applying, but once you have applied, check with them and let them know the need that you have to stay at that institution.

    Some of the best experiences I had in life. I lived on campus my freshman year in LLC (Living Learning Center) formally known as Thurman Hall. I was on the step team freshman year. In this dorm two people share one common room, which is typical for any college freshman dorm. My sophmore year, I lived in Morehouse Suites. Here four people lived in one main room but we each had our individual room with a lock on the door. It is located directly beside the newly renovated Woodruff Library.
