If you know about Howard University then you know that the girl-to-boy ratio is unusually different compared to other universities. In the past years it was said to be 9 girls to every 1 boy on campus but there is some shocking news about this upcoming freshman class of '12. While previous freshman classes excepted around 800 students every year, this year it seems that 1700 freshman students will be attending Howard in the fall! And if that was enough of a shocker, 1300 of the freshman will be females!!! That is somewhere around a 20-to-1 ratio! Some say that this change in intake is due to the replacement of ex-Howard president, Pat Swygert, and the decision of the newly instated president, Dr. Sidney A. Ribeau. If you are a young black male in America, please start to take education more seriously!!! These numbers are amazing! If nothing else guides your way to higher education...go for the girls! (Looks Fun!)
