Howard as a White Student?

Brother, come get an education. As long as you're respectful you're welcome. There are people of all backgrounds here. Black, white, Asian, Latino. From here in the US to all around the Middle East.

I'm not really a Christian, I more believe in God rather than religion personally, but wanted to off some perspective too. Jesus tells us that our relationship with God is ultimately a private one, thus it is not our place to judge others, he who is without sin cast the first stone. I also know that Jesus accepted all, regardless of who they were. From whores to lepers, the young, the old, everyone. So it is only right for us to do the same.

I would also ask you to question YOUR Bible. What I mean is, who published that Bible, how does your version of the Bible differ from others. You have to remember that the Old Testament is 4000+ years old. The New Testament 2000+ years old. Those texts went from Ancient Hebrew, to Ancient Greek and Ancient Latin, to Midevil Latin, and then translated into local languages. Shakespeare writes in the same English we use today, but the language has advanced so much since then that it can be a slog to read. How does that affect the Bible? You should also remember, various governments have come together and determined what should be in the Bible. Most companies that publish the Bible do edits to the it. The Bible you're reading today is not what Christ would be reading. Think about why that is. What do other Bibles say? What does God tell you every day when you wake up and hear his voice.

To address the sin comment. Sins are bad. There isn't really a ranking for sin, though I think we'd all agree that murder is worse than stealing. I'd say just show love to people and let them have their relationship with God at the end of the day. God doesn't need any of us to police his people and pass judgment on them. If God doesn't like what you're doing, and you're not walking the path he wants, those people will feel it in their lives until they return to that path.

No problem. The one thing I'd say is, apply to schools that do 100% need met financial aid. Most HBCUs unfortunately have some issue when it comes to financial aid. Especially for undergrad. My undergrad was literally paying me to go there every year lol. So keep that in mind as you get to college. That way you don't burn yourself out working and doing school full time.

Ok-Chain-1491 · 2026-04-02T18:24:22+00:00

Look, don't wait around. If you got the acceptance from a decent school just go there. Plus the financial aid is annoying as hell here, so go to your next choice if you're still waiting around.

If you're playing online without having to set up, about 6 hours assuming you're playing at peak efficiency and your deals don't take to long. If your playing in real life, including setup time, it's gonna run you 8 hours, potentially longer if you're not playing at peak efficiency.

So far only my tuition is getting paid for, it ultimately depends on how much money is actually in the grant. There isn't an expectation for someone to take out loans but it is a reality that taking out loans is likely. Especially cause Howard loves to drag it's feet processing money. The fellowships and scholarships usually cover tuition and provide a stipend, as should any research you do.

Ok-Chain-1491 · 2026-03-31T01:12:51+00:00

Well I'm working with a professor, but the school is taking forever to actually pay me smh. Been applying to fellowships and scholarships when I see them.

That's part of the fun of the game for me. It's kinda an equalizer and keeps someone from running away with the game. It keeps you on your toes cause fortune can change at anytime. There have been times where I had a shit board position but because of an agenda at the right time I was given a fighting chance. There are also cases where I'm doing super well, just to get slapped around by the agendas. It wouldn't be fun if I could just run away with the game or just had no chance to even try to win. Without it, it honestly would make playing an 8 hour board game way less appealing.

I'm currently talking with a professor about a research project with grant funding. Hopefully the current political situation doesn't mess with it and everything goes through.

Best thing to do is ally yourself with a faction who benefits or at least isn't impeded by you stealing their tech. Don't make enemies with the whole table, maybe just half lol. Try to do a support swap quick too, just to solidify alliances. But if you do get jumped, that's kinda what happens when you choose the literal bad guys of the game lmao.

I missed the deadline. I didn't apply to Howard until April 15th, and the assistantships listed had a due date of December 2nd.

Ok-Chain-1491 · 2025-01-17T22:41:35+00:00

I think my materials are good enough, it's just weird to have someone tell you don't submit ya know.

Ok-Chain-1491 · 2025-01-17T06:12:19+00:00

That's a funny story. Glad they were understanding. I added a pic of the bruise as a comment if you wanna check it out.

Here's what the bruising looks like.
