Hi. I’m currently deciding between UA and UGA and I think my heart’s set on UA. But my family concern is of discrimination against Asians at UA. I’m a male of Korean descent. I’ve read dozens of posts and forums about how it is not racist in UA and such but I can’t be too sure. I know that the population of Asians at UA is low, even if that is not including international students. I also know that there’s only subtle racism present at UA, according to the other posts that I have read. But I just need that boost of reassurance. Also I would like to hear from current students of their experiences at UA concerning discrimination against Asians, or just any discrimination in general.

One tiny bit of a question. Is Greek predominant in the student life at UA? I’m not too interested in joining a fraternity, I barely even know what they are or the purpose. But according to my sister (credibility is questionable), not being part of a fraternity at UA is basically being a loser (all from her, not me). Any insights to that?
