Seriously rethink coming here if you're POC

I’ve talked to faculty, multicultural advisors, and peers who have mostly sympathized. Sure, Muhlenberg is working towards making the school more “diverse” by spending $$$ getting evaluated by diversity consulting companies, but the fact of the matter is that the school today is not an environment that helps POC thrive + many people’s social success is dependent on how they interact w the predominantly white population. Muhlenberg admin is trying, but has a long way to go and can only do so much without change in student culture. They have support groups for black and Latino students freshman year via “Emerging Leaders”, but what about other minority groups?

Just know if you go here as POC, you’ll feel pressure to be a poster kid for your racial identity.
