Love being here. Housing better than most schools because it’s actual apartments and not jus cinder block rooms. Also food isn’t bad, Dora actually pretty good. There are weak days because I’m vegetarian but you should go hungry at all.

Prairie View A&M is a good choice for any one interested in an HBCU campus. They are true to their word on producing productive people. You just have to put the work in because the parties off campus might not be worth it

PVU is the place to be, and it won't stop. It's even greater now as Dr. Ruth Simmons as the new President. If you want an amazing, life changing experience and a place to get real about societal issues in and affecting black culture, come to Prairie View A&M University.

Too much bureaucracy to get anything done, very frustrating, it feels all they care about getting money from students dont care about students well being.
