hi, eric.

i recently began considering bucknell as a college choice. i had heard of it before, but didn’t know too much about it. i’ve looked at the typical college guide books and such, and one thing i noticed was the percentage of minority students (17%), specifically the percentage of african-american students (3%). i’m african-american and i go to a predominantly white school, and have all of my life, but i was wondering if there appeared to be any issues/difficulties for the african-american students that you may have noticed. i’m not implying that bucknell has these issues, i was just curious as to the state of the student relations across races.

thanks!
