<p>I just had some questions about the Demographics and Honors Program. I've recently been accepted into the Pharmacy and Honors Program at Northeastern University. However, I am aware that Honors Students live in separate dorms than the rest of the class.</p>
<ol>
<li>Will living in separate dorms impair relationships from Non-Honors students?</li>
<li>What are the racial demographics in the Honors Program (and compared to the rest of the University?)</li>
<li>What are the racial demographics in the Pharmacy Program (and compared to the rest of the University)?</li>
<li>Are dorms segregated by race? I know many universities say do not, but I have seen many dorms at other universities segregated (when I visited my brothers/sisters and friends in college)</li>
</ol>
<p>Please, I only mean to inquire about the demographics and honors because I am of Caucasian/Asian descent. I honestly don't mind if there's a majority of Caucasians, Asians, African Americans, etc. I'm just curious, so please don't take this the wrong way.</p>
<p>Segregated dorms? You might have seen that as a trend, but doing it as an officially possibly is illegal. So no, northeastern does not do that.</p>
<p>I would say Northeastern is a mainly white school (its new england…) but we’ve got plenty of other groups as well. I haven’t really noticed much difference in honors or pharmd.</p>
<p>And there are plenty of threads about living in honors versus non-honors. The answer everyone will give you is do honors anyway, and you’ll become good friends with honors kids but will still meet plenty of others outside.</p>
<p>Also, “Caucasian” includes “Asian”. People mess it up because they think Caucasian is the proper term for White, but it’s actually not. No offense intended or anything, I just did an essay on it once so I pretty much always point it out to people.</p>
<p>Segregated dorms? Seriously?? We’ve passed the African American Civil Rights Movement era, dude.</p>
<p>I think the Honors Program’s racial demographics would be virtually identical to those of the university as a whole.</p>
<p>…The racial demographics for each program are similar, because the university tries to keep a balance during the admissions process. </p>
<p>Neuchimie, in common use (in American English), “Caucasian” means “White American”, as defined by the census bureau and government of the United States. When put in a racial context, as it was posed by ejohnson2334, the word takes on this accepted racial meaning.</p>
<p>Yeah but American English is wrong, so… US Gov just did that to distinguish groups during racist times. But thanks for quoting Wikipedia.</p>
