HC FAMU: How did you decide on attending FAMU? FM: I decided to come to FAMU at the last minute honestly. But it is definitely the best decision I've ever made. FAMU was one of two HBCUs I applied to. I never saw myself attending a Historically Black University but after realizing how much attending a PWI would cost with no scholarship, I knew that out of all schools FAMU would have to do the job. Also my brother attended and graduated from here in 2009 and he loves this university, so I knew it couldn't be all that bad. READ MORE

	Meet: President of the FAMU Chapter of BSLS, Jasmine Louis By Itopia Mills September 28, 2012 - 7:12pm Jasmine Louis and I have quite a history. I've know Jasmine since my freshman year.
