It is separated between different races/ethnicities. The only resource I have is the Black student union and the Avery research center. They could do more by offering more resources and hiring more minorities at the college that truly support and represent minorities. They are somewhat supportive of students of color and other marginalized groups. I do not feel represented.

We are segregated for the most part, but by choice, not by force. There are resources for Black students, but I have no experience personally. They have many outreach programs, POC-specific safe groups, and many POC employees who are always willing to help, talk, discuss, etc. Any support I could want is already available. College of Charleston is absolutely supportive of students of color, women, LGBTQ+, disabled, etc. Supportive and inclusive to the highest degree. I feel represented.

At my school, a lot of the upperclassman minorities feel entitled and like they don’t have to be nice to us freshmen. It’s kind of discouraging because at the end of the day we go to a PWI and we should be uplifting each other, but they continue to separate us at every event they hold. It’s kind of annoying & kind of makes me feel like I’m alone at the school :/ Also, it is kind of segregated between races. There are resources and they are okay, depending on who you go to. The school’s support is pretty decent, but it could be better. They could actually help us, knowing we come from low-income communities they still overcharge us and find any way to take our money. Our BSU isn’t the best and it’s a bunch of power-hungry people. They don’t promote unity at all :/ They make a lot of us disappointed. I only feel a little represented. Whatever you do, wherever you go, it’s your choice! At the end of the day, make the decision for you!
