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 would reach out to […]
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 with them. It made me […]
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 as I had a hard […]
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 step out and try what […]
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, my advice for prospective Dominican […]
When I was a freshman, I had a hard time adjusting to the culture of my PWI. Throughout my childhood, I attended very diverse schools so going to a PWI was a complete culture shock that I was not prepared for. I was usually the only Black student in my classroom and it seemed like […]
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. The resources for Black students […]
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 try to support them at […]
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 aren’t really any resources specifically […]
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, I often don’t feel represented […]
