<p>Which coplleges do think most accomodate minorities. I want to know.</p>
<p>What do you mean by “accomodate”?</p>
<p>You might take a look at blackenterprise.com, which publishes an annual ranking of colleges for African American students, as well as lots of other college admissions info.</p>
<p>i meant do they take care of them well… you know make them feel comfortable socially</p>
<p>For the most part, college life is not what it was in the 1950s and 1960s. I’m a black student who attends, the University of Virginia, which was known to not accept minorities until the 1960s which does not mean they don’t accomodate minorities today. At every college, there is always going to be subtle instances of racism, but you can not let that get in the way of your college experience and being open to people of different backgrounds.</p>
<p>I’m not sure “accomodate” is the right word, but as far as there being an abundance of organizations that create many political, education, social, and cultural opportunities for minorities, Harvard is a great and comfortable place for minority students.</p>
<p>I’ll be attending Bucknell Univ. this fall and am kind of scared b/c it is predominantly white.</p>
<p>Most colleges are predominantly white - but you’ll find that the better ones (like Bucknell, I’m guessing) have Black Students Associations and a whole host of other organizations that make it easy to meet other black students and generally just make you feel a whole lot more comfortable if black issues and social life are major concerns.</p>
<p>Your summer reading assignment…lol</p>
<p>*Fourteen years ago I ventured onto the Bucknell campus for the first time. It was my senior year in high school, and I was invited to attend Bucknell’s Black Arts Festival. Upon arriving, I and a few other prospective black Bucknell students were warned that a Klan rally might be held that Saturday in town. The rally never materialized, but thus began my Bucknell “educational experience.” *</p>

<p>In the fall of '96, Cheri Skipworth was a first-year student from Philadelphia.</p>
<p>“I lived in a hall with no other student of color who looked like me,” says Skipworth '00. “I made a lot of good friends, but I had a serious case of culture shock. It was a major eye-opening event in my life.” *</p>

<p>Description: Educates the Bucknell community on African-American issues and heritage, promotes among its members a sense of community, and provides a support group for minority students on campus.</p>
<p>is that suppose to encourage me or not?</p>
<p>africanprincess, the point of this exercise is that you are not alone, not even at Bucknell. There are support systems in place, with both current students and alumni, who have gone through your anxiety and have survived. It is up to you utilize the resources available and to take responsibility for your decision to attend Bucknell.</p>
<p>If anything they overaccomodate minorities at schools. If you try too accomodate too much, it very well might make the person feel like they are being pandered , or could threaten the person.</p>
