  • Are you a single woman looking for love?
  • How about a new wife who just started graduate school?
  • Are you a woman more concerned with your career than a relationship?
  • Have you reached 30 and are still unmarried?
  • Do you think that all the emphasis on love and marriage is unnecessary and in no way a reflection of your value as a woman?

Education: "Historically Black Colleges & Universities verses Traditional Institutes of Education.”

The college experience is naturally different for students of color, especially for the women within this group, depending on where they choose to study. Glossmagazineonline wants to know:

HBCUs the best place for African American women to receive their education?

What are the differences between attending a HBCU and a traditional college or university?

What do students gain or miss out on by attending one or the other?

Glossmagazineonline is posing these questions to you. Have you attended a historically black university or college, or a traditional institution, or both?

What do you see as the differences, similarities, gains and losses for attending one or the other – or both?

Please post your responses here! Next month we will continue this discussion, and include some of your thoughts and experiences in the discussion on Glossmagazineonline.com
