<p>Well, daughter did take a few board games to Swarthmore, and I believe they have had one heated all-night monopoly marathon, but no Scrabble in Greek! Quite a bit of Texas Hold 'Em Poker.</p>
<p>I’ve sometimes pondered how I would help my child pick an “elite” college if I were Af-Am. I think I would probably try to put together a list of pertinent questions: percentage Af-Am faculty, history of Af-Am enrollment (to weed out some Johnny-come-lately diversity schools), policy and reality of theme housing, overall campus climate towards minorities, etc. Then, I would have child take advantage of opportunities to discuss these issues with current Af-Am students and faculty at each school.</p>
