CNU is cliquey to a degree but with there being more white folks than black, the black folks tend to have to intermingle with the white folk. I don’t believe there are any resources specific to black students. CNU supports black students by treating them like white students. I wish […]
CNU is a PWI, and most of the workers (outdoors and food) are POC. I always wave or say “hi” when I see them. I once waved to a man, and he almost cried out of happiness that I said hello. He said most students ignore them or don’t interact […]
I love my university and I am so glad I chose it. It has given me so many opportunities for my future. However, if you are going to a primarily white institution, immediately look for Black organizations on campus. As a first-year, I wished I sought out more Black organizations […]
One night I went to socialize with my white neighbors because I spent a lot of my first semester inside. We hung out in one of their rooms, and it was just one other person. The person I was with propositioned me for drugs, and I decided to take a […]
For the most part, the school is cliquey between races. I do not feel represented at all. That being said, The Village is a wonderful resource that supports black students on campus. Also, the cultural liberation center is a safe space for all BIPOC and LGBT+ people. To be honest, […]

It is not really cliquey, but a lot of POC choose to surround themselves when they can with people who look like them and are from the same community just because they don’t see people like them hardly ever during the day and in classes at a predominately white institution. […]
It can be hard connecting with my white peers. I work at the Black African American Cultural Center (B/AACC) and we provide many resources and build community among black-identifying students. CSU supports Black students solely through the B/AACC. It is very hard for students with intersecting identities at CSU, we […]
I believe that to some degree this school is a bit cliquey within races as well as sports groups as well. In terms of race groups, sometimes I feel that the cliques are formed because of the shared experience of certain groups, as well as similar locations and backgrounds. There […]
I wouldn’t call Bard segregated, but I do think it can be cliquey. There is the Office of Equity and Inclusion. It is generally for students of color but primarily used by black and brown students. I feel represented, but only to a certain extent. For example, in the classroom, […]
