are some old ones off the top of my head.

Not to mention Morehouse has an international reputation.My best friend is related to the former Prime Minister of Nigeria.(Obusanjo).Olu is one of his sons sent to get his B.S.before going on to Columbia as his older brother did before him.My best friend is from London by way of Nigeria.His nephews were sent by their father who is British/Nigerian (but graduated from Harvard) to attend undergrad at Morehouse.

Heads of states particularly from Africa have sent many of their kids to Morehouse because of what it represents as the legacy of MLK JR.
Forget the movies (Howard's been mentioned in a few btw), which top HBCU is known all around the entertainment industry for its Homecoming? Sure ain't the AUC.

Howard throws the best HBCU homecoming in the ENTIRE country.
Celebs roll past, its always packed with people from all over the country, mainly Boston, NYC, NJ, Philly, Baltimore and Atlanta folks and they mess with D.C. hard, even though there have been incidents in the past of DC dudes vs NY dudes.

Exactly which is why Howard beats Morehouse and Spelman.
Howard offers damn near any major you can think of.

I will have ATL's colleges the benefit of being safer though, these type of events happen often at Howard:

Howard University Students Robbed at Off Campus House (http://www.myfoxdc.com/dpp/news/dc/howard-university-students-robbed-in-off-campus-house-081610 - broken link)

DC Police Investigating Robberies of Howard University Students (http://www.myfoxdc.com/dpp/news/dc/dc-police-investigating-robberies-of-howard-university-students-110810 - broken link)

Just because they say they are the greatest doesn't mean its true.
If thats the case than Papa John's has the best pizza sine they always say "Better Ingredients, Better pizza, Papa John's"

While Howard may beat Morehouse and Spelman as far as graduate school and majors, the AUC is different. The AUC has the graduate school of Clark Atlanta and the IDC for theological study. I'm not sure if the AUC has a med school, law school, and pharmacy school or some combination of all three. I'll let an Atlanta native comment. Honestly, you can't lose with either or.
