What is your school best known for?My shool is best known for being and HBCU. Our founder William Hooper Councill founded this school with the intentions of educating a race of people who been discriminated against for over two hundred years.  He made great advancements for the African American race and our campus houses the State Black Archives.,What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?The worst thing about our school is that there are so many buildings that are not being used and there is no logical explanation as to why.  This year the housing office did not have enough space for all the people who wanted to live in the dorms, but there are two female dorms that have not been used since before I enrolled here.  The worst thing about it is that the buildings are not pleasing to the eye.
