South is somewhat cliquey, but there are people who have mixed friend groups. There are no resources specifically for black students but through the Office of Multicultural student affairs, there are plenty of resources. I feel somewhat represented. I wish there was mentorship with black professors. I would like to say South is supportive of students of color but unfortunately, there have been quite a few racist events. By hiring our new president Jo Bonner, this school does not care about students of color or other marginalized groups. My advice is: Don’t give up. No matter how hard it is, keep pushing.

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 so forth. South is primarily a school for the students, but I’m not sure with the voting in of Jo Bonner (known racist and homophobe). I wish there were more scholarships specifically for black and brown folks. I very rarely feel represented seeing as South is a PWI. If you are coming to south know It’s a wonderful environment with pretty good professors. I recommend joining group chats and seeing if you click with anybody also coming to south! Having a support system is so important.
