<p>I think, in general, students at large universities tend to seek out others with like interests and backgrounds, whether those are based on area of study, Greek life, color, race, religion, sports, etc. In smaller LAC’s, partially based on the type of student attracted to the LAC and numbers of students on campus, students seem to enjoy diversity in their clubs and dorms. My son and daughter were members of clubs and had friends and dorm mates that were widely diverse. I would suggest that you and your parents take tours of the campuses on your list. Ask to speak with AA students, try to attend a campus wide event to get “the feel” of the campus. It is so important to find a school where you can be comfortable to live and study.</p>
