Current Students: Interracial Dating an Madison

Current students at UW-Madison, thinking about the demographics of Madison as a city and UW-Madison as a school, in the “dating” scene at Madison is there much Interracial dating? Between any “race”?

Bump

It exists, yeah. It’s not common as it would be in a more diverse city. Most people won’t care, but eventually there will be someone who does that you would have to deal with.

Well according to these stats https://registrar.wisc.edu/documents/Stats_min_2013-2014Fall.pdf from 2013-2014 approximately 85% of the school is white. So, interracial dating will not be probable statistically speaking. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist, just not in very prominent. It also does not mean it is not accepted.

I’m a brown guy dating a white girl. It exists. It’s very rare. This is a predominantly white campus.

This website probably isn’t the best place to talk about dating. The reason this site is called “college confidential” is because the people who go on here went, or are either planning to go, to college. People who go to college, particularly those who graduate college, are academically ambitious, and people who are academically ambitious tend to be too nerdy to know much about social things like dating. In general, the more academically-oriented someone is, the more introverted they tend to be. I’m not saying this is the case with everybody, but it is a common trend. People who are serious enough to pursue education beyond high school are probably going to be too serious for things like dating. Also, people who are in college are probably going to be too busy for dating anyway. It isn’t like high school, where you can not work hard and graduate anyway.
