Says residents:
"Because of the way the house was built, the way the rooms are structured, Howard House definitely feels like a home rather than a typical dormitory at any other college. And because of the women and our resident counselor, I feel so at home here. Even though my real home is thousands of miles from here in Nigeria, another country, another continent, this is my second home. I feel really, really comfortable here and accepted and loved by everyone."

"Amazing! Just amazing! That is how it feels to live in Howard House. The sisterhood, the friendship, the sprirituality, and the laughter that the women share with each other shines everyday. There hasn't been a day when I did not feel loved and supported by the Howard ladies including our wonderful RC. When two or more Howard women gather, a smile or laughter is shared, and that's just the way it is. It is hard to express in words the beautfiul feeling that comes with being part of this home away from home."
