1) Diversity might not be as high as other places.
2) Does not hamper learning.
3) Yes, there are weathy, white kids, but they can be found in similar numbers across every single college in the US and A.
4) No socio-economic/racial separation at Wake. The minorities that are at Wake integrate very well. They are let out of their dormitory rooms to mingle with the white/rich kids for many hours a day. This is easy to do because they are mostly segregated in the basement of Collins. So yes, there is some mingling when the basement is unlocked and they are allowed to leave. Getting them back is somewhat problematic.
5) The Greek scene is, as I’ve assumed you’ve heard, more prevalent here than at other schools. I believe the % is 30% men and 50% women are Greek or sometimes from Turkey, Bulgaria, or Albania. We’ve brought this disgusting statistic to the attention of the Admissions Office and we’ve been assured that they will work to slash the number of Greeks at Wake Forest.

Go watch Borat’s movie!!! I’m honestly so tired of this question. Sorry ns347. It doesn’t matter if you’re Indian, live on $1 a day, or you’re not into the whole Greek thing. You’ll be alright. While there is a clear Wake strerotype that all know about, I urge you to visit the school yourself and make up your own mind. I’m sure you’ll find that the streotype is way blown out of proportion, though I’m not saying that we are somewhat lagging slightly behind other schools. Visit!
