Homecoming.
It’s a ten-letter word that is synonymous to cookout, reunion, block party, celebration, and fun. At a historically black college and university (HBCU), very few experiences top the excitement and fun had during homecoming week. The multi-day festivities typically feature a combination of events that the school hosts to foster school spirit including a football game, some sort of celebration or fest on the “yard” or “quad”, a homecoming tailgate, fashion show, comedy show, parade, Greek-letter organization step show, and not to mention — tons of parties. Homecoming is a time for alumni to celebrate the memories gained and for students to strengthen their HBCU pride and enjoy the cultural legacy of its beloved institution.
HBCU Homecoming Dates (2017)
Because homecoming is typically a time when attendees fall even deeper in love with their respective alma maters, it can be difficult to “fairly” determine which HBCU has the best overall homecoming experience, so we ask you… which historically black college’s homecoming experience deserves to be called the best homecoming ?
In past years, nearly 100,000 votes were collected. Last year, Prairie View A&M University was voted number one. One year prior, in 2015, Alabama State University was named number one in 2015 and North Carolina A&T State University came out supreme in 2014‘s poll. Which HBCU will win this year?
POLL ENDS NOVEMBER 7th 2017 11:59pm est!
I love how my sweet FVSU is never listed…ever. ♀️
What’s that ?
Alcorn State University…….
How is Southern University not even listed as an option?
It is. Scroll down. We are in 3rd right now. I have been to a couple of the campuses that have won and none of them come close to Southern’s homecoming. For example, I encouraged one of my teacher to go. She is an alumnus of one of the campuses listed and she said I was right. Southern’s homecoming is way better. She says she won’t miss many more. SUHC #1.
Mississippi Valley State University is not here. The rest means nothing
Who? Lmao!
I can’t believe Winston-Salem State University is not an option! Go Rams!!!

NCA&T Statee University #GHOE
There is definitely a bias towards the larger schools (more voters), but that doesn’t mean the small and medium schools don’t have GREAT homecomings. Why not visit the schools and make your own determination. Voting is not the way to do this.
Agreed, y’all should visit the various homecomings or at least the Top 10 schools that normally make this list.
NCA&T GHOE 2017 AND BEYOND…. AGGIE PRIDE!!!
Love my NC A&T Aggies!! Aggie Born Aggie Bred and When I die, I’ll be Aggie Dead!!

The best homecoming is the one that is used in the cover art of this poll. If im not mistaken, and I know Im not, the scene pictured above is of the bgmm at ghoe. Which means the hbcu buzz already knows that North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University does indeed have the Greatest Homecoming On Earth! AGGIEEEEE PRIDE!!!
