Yeah, you are right, that might be the only type of history they offer.

i knew white kids at LSU that maxed out their student loans and lived high on the hog, while i struggled for my Fred's money. Just a higher percentage of these kids making poor financial decisions at GSU.

Heck i just learned of a LSU student that took out a $16K student loan to pay for her wedding. Blew my mind.

Also, there are probably more kids at LSU whose parents were able to help bail them out to some degree.

Idiots everywhere but this doesn't surprise me. Every black kid that I knew who went off to college maxed out their loans. They're smart enough to eventually graduate but have 0 guidance at home. No one saying "your arse is going to ride a bicycle to class. When your done with school and have a job is when you buy your charger". Suvks for those trying to better their lives.

What? Did she use what was left over after paying for school? Or did she just straight up take the money that was suppose to be for school and used it for the wedding? frick that, they could just fly out to Vegas and get hitched for a lot less.

They only offer a standard history degree. A school of Grambling's size and caliber can't afford to offer a bunch of specialized degrees.

the answer is B

this is the same issue with all the for profit colleges. they trick low knowledge students into borrowing lots of money to pay for some worthless degree, then the kids can't pay it back. SALLIE MAE loans shouldn't be allowed for these sorts of schools.

This list shows that Grambling is #2. And most of the schools in the top 10 are not historic black colleges so I don't think this is a "race issue".

I know you didn't say anything in relation to race, but I wasn't sure when you said "these sorts of schools" if you were referring to historic black universities only or what..

Yeah, I laughed at that. People from the northeastern part of the country have this elitist view of themselves when it comes to their education, compared to the rest of the nation. I understand that's where the Ivy League schools are located, MIT.. Boston College is a pretty good school, etc, but frick them.
