Prairie View A&M is an HBCU college that was built on a slave plantation. PV is the best place to be, study and figure out who you are! The professors and staff are all around amazing very helpful! The cafeteria ladies are even nice. Prairie View is my home away home and it’s like we all one big family. Every sport there is we all show out and show each other support! Everyone always says “Prairie View is a party school” but what they do not know is Prairie View Produces Productive People. Besides what college isn’t a party school. You’re best choice is to come to “The Hill”

I love prairie view! The campus is beautiful and the teachers are well-rounded! The campus life is amazing with being sure to engage all students in daily activities with other students. There are always career fairs and pop-up shops on campus for students to take part in. The campus food is good with chic-fil-a being one of the more popular food choices on campus. All while balancing the fun, classes are still in session and students make sure to never miss a period.

Prairie View A&M University overall is an amazing university this university has taught me so many things. I walked in pvamu as a 17 year old freshman I was terrified for college but once I started my first week of school I was so welcomed into the school by the amazing Professors and my loving peers that I became so comfortable just after the first week of school. I have learned so many new things that I will cherish for life! Prairie View definitely produces productive people. This school is so amazing and so uplifting! Now the only thing I can say that needs work at this school is student housing this has been the biggest issue since my freshman year of college in 2019. We as students need more on campus student housing because the growth of students at pvamu grows more and more each year . And housing is something the school struggles with !
