Can you recommend a great novel set at a historically black American college?
3rding invisible man.
also, The Great Debaters is based on an article in American Legacy which might or might not be interesting.

Pearl Cleage's Some Things I Never Thought I'd Do is set at Morehouse College among other places.
If This World Were Mine by E. Lynn Harris is about a group of friends who meet at Hampton Institute (now Hampton University). I think a couple of Harris's other books depict HBCU life in passing.

Not quite what you wanted, but perhaps The Intuitionist would be worth your time.
Most of the action takes place post-BA, and nothing in it is, technically, real. However, there are some academe-style intrigues.
