<p>Concerning segregation:
I’ve heard a lot about “self-segregation” at Duke. Now, this isn’t something malicious, but I think it should be the goal of a good school to try and make students extremely comfortable around one another, transcending the factors that tend to make students clump together: race, socioeconomics, sexuality, etc, etc.</p>
<p>I have personally NEVER have had a close Black friend. I think I’ve only had two African-American students in my classes throughout high school, and there is somewhere around 20 at my school of 3,000 students.
I honestly can’t wait for some diversity on campus, and “self-segregation” be damned I plan to ignore these virtual barriers.</p>
