What they wish they'd known
I wish I had taken more time to do in-depth research about all of the student organizations that Howard has to offer.
Who's happiest here, and who struggles
The happiest students are those who aren't afraid to put themselves out there, who are open to trying new experiences and meeting people from diverse backgrounds. As long as you're passionate about something, you will find your community at Howard, and if you don't, it's really easy to build one.
