<p>The responses here are what I first sensed from UVa actually. Personally, I know that I am not a self-segregating person. I need, and I repeat - need, a diverse group of friends to strive… Yes, it is nice to have people you relate too racially, but at the end of the day, without a diverse environment I will not learn or be happy. </p>
<p>I was seriously leaning towards UVa over Vanderbilt, solely because I thought the “tension” I sensed at Vanderbilt wouldn’t exist at UVa. Then, I had my eyes open to a similar problem at UVa… however, this thread has sort of eased my mind about this issue.</p>
<p>Thanks to everyone that replied, thanks to you… UVa remains #1.</p>
<p>However, any insight is still GREATLY appreciated! AKA PLEASE POST!!!
I will be back in the morning, thanks again to all who posted!</p>
