In the first semester, I attended my PWI, I had gotten into this very emotional and overwhelming argument with a friend of mine concerning slavery in film. They had thought that the film “Django” was an important and informative film, but me, being the black person, had expressed my discomfort with this film and how […]
Most white people hang out with each other. Even though the school is diverse, as a POC it’s hard for me to be friends with people outside of my race because they are not as warm and receptive toward me. Resources such as the BSU and African cultural club (ACC) are available for black students. […]
At the start of my freshmen year(2019) I found it was odd that there was no Black Student Union. I chose this college because I liked its diversity rating, small campus, and how the school is around 30 minutes away from home. I thought that BSU’s were already established things at most colleges. We had […]
As a student of color on this campus, my journey has been nothing short of adventurous for many reasons. I feel somewhat represented at UWGB. As much as I would rather not admit it, I am an influential student on campus, constantly busy, used for token promotional stuff, looked up to by underclassmen; and honestly […]
It can be hard times just being a black student in a predominantly white institution. But there are people who want to know your story. May as well talk about it. You may think people don’t want to know your story, but people do. You have a voice. Use it. Also, there will be a […]
In a way our school is cliquey. I say this because we have a majority white population on our campus which makes the POC individuals feel isolated in a way. There are not any resources explicitly available to black students, however, the University of Wisconsin La Crosse has always been kind enough to extend an […]
We have a Black Student Union as well as an African-Caribbean Student Association and D-9 fraternities and sororities. Although there’s a handful of us we stick together and do whatever we can to make sure we have the best experience while attending the school. Witchita State is cliquey between different races. I believe they have […]
There is definitely a lack of resources when it comes to the counseling center there is a lack of therapists in general but also a lack of Black therapists and Black women specifically, especially when trying to talk about struggles relating to racial issues and racism. Although Black affinity housing is needed, it is not […]
I would definitely say to an extent there is some segregation. Of course, we all take classes together, but in the residence hall, you won’t necessarily see the white kids and Black kids together. It isn’t a melting pot like they portray college to be. I wanted to join the AU pride club, but I […]
Honestly, I chose an HBCU because I wasn’t exposed to other colleges and/or universities. Plus, I wanted to be around students who were just like me. Now, I wouldn’t change my decision. Being at an HBCU allowed me to embrace my culture even more as well as acknowledge that I can compete on any level […]
