stranger in a strange land? (lacs)

<p>For intl students in small lacs: do you fit into your college?
im in the trying to decide which college to apply to stage, and since i really need finaid, the small lacs looking to increase diversity would probably be my best shot at a good education and a chance overseas, but i read alot of comments that these lacs (not the Midd Amherst Williams w/ larger intl pop, but Bates, Colby etc) are full of rich white preppy kids and that minorities and poorer students do not really fit in. that's probably not the most important deterrent, but still it could be quite painful feeling unhappy for 4 years there.
any current students willing to share their perspectives?</p>
