<p>Hi, </p>
<p>So I am planning on applying to SC, UCLA, UCI, and UCD, but I really have some questions!</p>
<p>I mean, I never really thought of this before, and I hope you guys can answer these questions honestly( i don't care if you put your own bias in there, that makes the better) I want your opinions on these questions too!</p>
<p>1) How is the diversity(as a UCLA student already attending there) when your in class? When you walk around do you see a crowds of basically one race hanging with each other, or is everyone intergrated?</p>
<p>For example: Your in class and there are 30 white students 10 Asians 5 hispanics and 3 black students in the class </p>
<p>or when you walk about the campus you see only whites hanging with whites asians hanging with asians and so on and so forth</p>
<p>2.) Is there a strong minority force at the school? Do you know much about the minority activities or hear about it atleast once or twice a month, less than a month, or not at all?</p>
<p>3.) What about the Frats and Soros? Do the students only know about the majority white frats and soros? Do the other soros and frats like the asian pacific, spanish, or Black councils have a presence at all?</p>
<p>I really would appreciate your answers to these questions. They don't have to be thorough, but atleast a little informative so I can know about the school a little bit. </p>
<p>Also, if you don't mind can you provide your ethnicity, its optional if you want to. </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>1) As can be seen from the school’s stats, most people in class are either white or Asian and generally tend to stick to their own kind.</p>
<p>2) You can definitely feel the minority presence on campus, all it takes it going down Bruinwalk and picking up some flyers on the way to class to see that a lot of cultural events are happening all the time, on and off campus.</p>
<p>3) Because the majority frats and sororities have houses they have a stronger presence than the others. But if you mix with the right people you can see that the other ones have things going on all the time. At the beginning of the year there’s a huge activities fair too which gives you a great chance to meet a bunch of groups you’re interested in meeting.</p>
<p>1) In my North Campus classes it seems as though whites and asians are split equally, with a healthy dose of other minorities mixed in as well, and they seem pretty integrated. But on the Hill (around the dorms and such) it seems like races stick to their own kind, especially the numerous asians who refuse to speak English and thus only talk to each other. I can’t speak for South Campus.</p>
<p>2) What TheAllMightyYak said.</p>
<p>3) Yes, I have heard about the ethnic frats, but they get kind of a bad rap (for good reason in my opinion). Firstly, because of their exclusivity. Anyone who tells you that they’re joining a frat for any reason other than to party is lying. If you want to interact in an atmosphere with others who share your cultural experience, then join a club. But if you have such a burning desire to ONLY party with those of your ethnicity… that’s kind of obnoxious. Secondly, many of the ethnic frats are not IFC, so they can haze a lot harder. Why anyone would choose that for themselves is beyond me.</p>
<p>I’m half white half asian.</p>
<p>^^
Well most black soros and frats were created solely for Blacks because they couldn’t join white frats and soros. But I’m pretty sure they are not discriminating. That’s probably who only wants to join the frat/soro. Its not obnoxious, it happens all the time in White ones! When you look at those frats/ soros who are the ones that are most represented in that group. They are always of the same color. Not obnoxious I think.</p>
<p>But thank both of you for the feed back.</p>
<p>I hope more people can answer. But probably not because they don’t go there yetlol</p>
