Honestly, I do not feel represented. The Black population at UCSB is so small so if you were to take a picture of campus during passing times, there would maybe be 5 Black students amongst hundreds. People of similar races will tend to group together but they aren’t exclusionary. UCSB […]
I do not feel represented in the slightest. I chose UNC since it was closer to home than my last school (Howard University) and less expensive. If given the chance when I first was applying to college, I would probably not choose it again. It is cliquey, and it’s not […]
It is not really cliquey. There are no resources, although, there is a diversity center where we have our own space. At least to my assumption, Ripon is very progressive. I feel represented. Continue to be black unapologetically! Things are gonna be rough because of the ‘setbacks’ our people have […]
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. […]
It is cliquey from the outside looking in, it is not like in sports and classes. When you actually attend you can see those in certain clubs for their ethnic clubs hang out with them more than trying to associate with others. Being a PWI, there are more of them […]
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 […]
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 […]
The school is not necessarily cliquey, but it is something to be aware of. The Black Student Union at South is amazing! There are many different clubs so everyone has the opportunity to find their people. Spectrum is our lgbtq+ club, BSU, ASU(Arab student Union), VSU (Vietnamese), so on and […]
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. […]
