<p>doctorsboy, UVA has been making great efforts to recruit more students of color and diverse backgrounds. You might also want to read past issues of the student newspaper on-line for any further discussion of racism on campus, as well as the local newspapers - and come to your own conclusion. As someone else noted, self-segregation will probably happen - people are people - no matter where you go. But you need to be where you’ll be most comfortable. Have you visited UVA overnight? Good luck to you.</p>
