<p>I saw that NYU only has like 3% black students and i want to know if i would have any friends if i went. Are people nice or do they just ignore us? Nyu is my dream school so could someone who attends answer for me? Thanks :)</p>
<p>I’d be surprised if it was only 3%. A larger number probably chose not to identify race, which is their right. Also, the Big Apple has a lot of diversity to fall back on and a lot of other black students at nearby colleges just in case. GL</p>
<p>The % of people who self-identify as black might be 3%, but I’d be willing to bet that the % of people who identify as “not white” is at least 10x that number. It’s a school smack in the middle of the most diverse city in the world…I’m sure you’d have friends.</p>
<p>I don’t go to nyu but I do go to a school with <10% black and typically people don’t care about race. You have to make the effort to get to know people, regardless of color. At my school a lot of black students are only friends with black people (a lot are also well integrated, don’t get the wrong idea). why? self segregation. Personally I probably have a good 15-20% of friends black here. Just be friendly to everyone. If you only talk or sit next to black people… you probably won’t feel accepted and will feel like other races ignore you, because you ignore them.</p>
<p>Uhh yes of course. In some fields, its more of a minority than in other majors, but NYU is a ridiculously, amazingly liberal university. Not only would it be extremely uncommon to hear anyone say anything racist/sexist/whatever-ist, they would be ostracized by the rest of the community. The percentage of black students may be low, but everyone is accepted.</p>
<p>Please message me if you have any other concerns.
Also, please remember that you are more than just your ethnicity. I don’t know what you are interested in studying, but so many of the students at NYU are doing something that is outrageous or that is unusual for their family, and this is what differentiates and identifies them, not ethnicity.</p>
<p>You don’t need to be thinking about that crap…you go for you! Black is only a skin color! I’m a white girl and I go to a predominantly black school…yes all the extra hood black guys stare at me and it can get creepy but I have tons of black friends on campus! If your accepting of them they will be accepting of you! Don’t worry about them and they won’t worry about you! Do you and go to your dream school! Don’t worry about such silly things!!</p>
<p>private message me if you have more questions!:)</p>
