Tuskegee University, one of the largest historically black universities in the United States, is a private university located in Tuskegee, Alabama. It was founded by Lewis Adams, a former slave, and George W. Campbell, a former slave owner. Adams asked that an educational institution for blacks be established. After Foster won the election, $2,000 (per year) was allocated from the state general budget for such a school to be located in Macon County. It was officially founded on July 4th, 1881, with Booker T. Washington, then a 25-year-old teacher at Hampton Institute in Virginia, as its first principal, a position he maintained until his death in 1915. Tuskegee acquired university status in 1985. Today it offers undergraduate, masters, professional, and doctoral degrees to more than 3,000 students with a strong orientation toward the relationship between education and work force preparation in the sciences, professions and technical areas. It was the first black college to be designated as a Registered National Historic Landmark (1966), and is the only black college to be designated as a National Historic Site.

"Been there "

"The hotel bathtub was nasty the towels were dingy when I asked the cleaning staff for fresh towels they had an attitude. We didn’t even spend the night we checked out the same day asked the clerk to refund at least half the rate and the hotel refused we didn’t even sit on the bed."

Baymont by Wyndham Montgomery AL

10/10 Excellent

"Very easy check in, front desk personable, layout of building very similar to the comfort inn suites in Midtown Savanna, GA. Very clean, neat and I love how the bed area is separated from living room area as well as it came with microwave and fridge. "
