<p>Is the campus nice at WF? What about the dorms? Also, I'm a minority, so should I be worried at all?</p>
<p>Is the campus nice? It depends on what you like in a campus. My son liked it very much, but he definitely gravitates towards a campus with a “traditional” college feel. Wake has grassy quads and lovely Georgian architecture. The grounds are beautifully maintained; large, stately deciduous trees provide shade and color interest in the fall. There are good public spaces in which to congregating. </p>
<p>What would it be like for a person of color? I don’t know. I’m white and from the Mountain West so the current race politics of the South are a mystery to me. Because I am who I am, I did corral a young African American man to ask him what it was like for minorities on campus. He was a former student who now worked for the university. He painted a pretty rosy picture of race relations on campus, but he knew that I was a parent on a tour so he may just have been toeing the party line. </p>
<p>You don’t say which minority group you belong to. I think the best course of action is to see if Wake has a club or interest group that addresses your minority affiliation. I’d then contact the members to get their perspective. The web page for the Office of Multicultural Affairs lists the following clubs/groups:</p>
