Is your college campus segregated?
It seems like the college I go to is very segregated with Latinos grouping with Latinos, Blacks grouping with Blacks, Asians grouping with Asians and Whites with Whites with very little intermixing going on.
I thought people in college were suppose to be more open-minded.
This segregation caught me by surprise because the high school I went to was pretty well integrated where everyone was just hanging out with everyone. But it seems that my college is very segregated.
I know I posted this question before but I only got one answer so I’m posting it again to get more insight and see if this goes on everywhere or just a limited number of colleges and campuses.

My undergrad wasn’t segregated and neither was my law school but people feel better around their own kind. Natural Segregation isn’t wrong but forced segregation is. I would rather hang out with people like me during my free time, but during class I will hang around whoever. I have a very diverse group of friends but it’s important to me to be around people of my own ethnic background and culture- thats why it’s good that there are groups like the Black Student Union and sororities for Asians and such

Yes, the university I attend is very segregated as well. But of course it is a commuter school and the surrounding community is racially and culturally segregated as well. People tend to stick with their own racial, cultural, ethnic, and socio-economic groups. The African Americans stick with the African Americans, The whites stick with the whites, the Africans with the Africans and Carribbeans, the Vietnamese with the Vietnamese, the Japanese with the Japanese, it goes on like that. I think campus life really suffers alot because of it. But then again I am guility of this too to a certain extent. It is hard to interact with people when they don’t want to interact with you and if you don’t really have anything in common with that person. I know college is about stepping out of your comfort zone and meeting new people, but that is just not as easy and romantic as many of the college diversity freaks make it out to be.

No I don’t think that mine is they have the decency to allow us to use the back door and the materials that the white students used last year.
