Review of College-Bound

This story is of a black student deciding if he wants to go to an Ivy League school or a racially oriented school. Most people would choose Cornell University over Xavier (an HBCU which stands for Historicly Black College or University) any day. But this reporter wanted to go to the one that many black leaders (such as Oprah). Though the piece sounded a lot more like a vox pop than a story he expressed his feelings very clearly. Over all I give this story a four out of five.
