Rutgers is such a big school that you will find your crowd. There are so many different people but like the same things that will hang together. However, there are organizations that cater to specific groups, which isn’t segregation (just a home away from home). Are there resources? YES!!! We […]
Joining Black Student Union was the best decision I made coming to this school. I was able to be around people I could relate to. I learned a lot about how universities function. It was also a reason for me to stay involved in campus life, including my academics. In […]
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 […]

Going to an institution where I am celebrated (and not just tolerated) that would foster my servant leadership amongst successful Black professionals and […]
As far as liberal arts colleges are concerned, I think Oxy is one of if not the most diverse. That being said, no institution is without its struggles and Oxy is not an exception. Our Black Studies department got off to a rocky start when they were officially founded in […]
UMich is cliquey between races. I don’t feel represented. We are only 5% of the population, and as a Black woman, it is extremely hard for my voice to be heard in the classroom. There are resources available to black students: Office of Academic Multicultural Initiatives, Multi-Ethnic Student Affairs Office, […]
