FAMU Celebrates #1 Ranking


Black Enterprize magazine ranked FAMU the No. 1 school for black students in the country in its September edition. FAMU jumped from No. 6 in 2004.

"I tell you with so much pride, I am so glad I'm from FAMU," she said. "FAMU is indeed a great place to be. We're also the place where dreams are nurtured to come true. This is no ordinary place. This is no ordinary day."

Standing beneath the banner that proclaimed FAMU as the No. 1 HBCU in the nation, Alfred Edmond Jr., editor of Black Enterprise, said, "It is important to know that you competed against all schools."

The rankings were based on surveys given to 500 black higher-education professionals asking them to review more than 1,400 accredited colleges where the black student population was at least 3 percent. The rankings were based on black student graduation rates and the school's academic and social environment, among other factors.

The students who gathered around the celebration echoed the sentiments of the survey, giving FAMU high marks when it comes to the social and academic atmosphere at the university.

"It was my first choice," said Ashely Braddy, a junior biology student from Fort Lauderdale. "It's a real good environment. Everyone is friendly."

"It's like a family," said Jonathan Arias, senior food science and psychology student from Miami. "I truly feel like I have a relationship with the staff. We don't get the limelight for our academics. We have great programs here."

"It has an awesome history and it's an awesome experience," said Travis Roberts, a sophomore dentistry student from Fort Lauderdale.
