The author conducted focus groups with seven Black male college-aged students who either attend or attended predominantly White institutions (PWI) in the South. The author believes that it is important to pay close attention to the attitudes of African Americans enrolled in PWIs and HBCUs. Both students and educators should recognize the importance of choosing the right college--whether HBCU or PWI. A student who chooses the "wrong" institution risks robbing himself or herself of the most valuable of academic and social experiences.
