Racism at Rhodes?

My daughter just completed her 1st semester at Rhodes. DD is white, her roommate is African American. Of course my daughter can not speak for her roommate about racism but she says her roommate has a very active social life and goes out nearly every night to a school club/organization or a social event. Her roommate loves Rhodes and they have been texting over winter break about how much they are both looking forward to returning.

My daughter is from the north and she was concerned about attending a college in the south. Rhodes put us in touch with alumni from our area and speaking with them really helped answer some of my daughters questions. If racism is a concern I am sure Rhodes could put you in touch with current students and/or alumni who could share their experiences.

Good luck with your decision!
