@michellecooke52: HBCU curfews may feel outdated, but their history runs deep. In the Jim Crow South, being a Black student out after dark could be dangerous. Today, safety still matters—and Black students still don’t move through the world with the same freedom as their white peers. We can question the rules while honoring the lesson: use discretion, build community, and look out for each other. Thank you, A Different World, for showing us HBCU life and Black excellence. 🖤 #HBCU #BlackStudents #ADifferentWorld #Curfew

Don’t ask me how I know but being out after curfew while attending an HBCU in the mid 1980’s was exhilarating! It also taught us how to figure things out and to work through obstacles. Keep doing you HBCU’s our young people need it.

I lived in a women’s dorm in 2000-2001 during my freshman year at FAMU. We had an informal curfew, dorm room checks every Wednesday, and a no-male-visitation policy. One of my classmates went on a date and wasn’t back at the dorm by midnight, and our whole floor stayed up all night until she came home. It IS that deep.

But in a Different World the curfew was for the freshmen only. Which makes plenty of sense to me.

It’s needed, especially during freshman year.

As black girl raised in South Georgia, I UNDERSTAND and I support HBCU's having curfews....these new kids don't roll deep and solid as we did. No one gets left behind and you don't leave with people you didn't come with!💯✔️💯

I went to an HBCU and so did my kids but it’s time to reconsider some of these rules.

the younger generation doesn't like accountability because they were never held accountable. they want to move throughout the world with no responsibility 😔 they just want to vibe
