It’s first semester! A few of us are getting used to new people and surroundings, a few others are getting back into the groove of college life and a few others are preparing to possibly graduate. Whether we are a Freshman or a Senior, there are many of us who haven’t had the time or inclination to pay attention to the campus around us, if it doesn’t directly deal with the course load that we are currently taking. Below, you will find a short list of things you might not have known about Howard University. We encourage you to go out and explore your campus. We’re sure there are things even we haven’t found yet!
