<p>@shomesho If you want to mingle, everyone else won’t think twice. The non-mingling seems to come from select Asians who are afraid to pop the bubble… For example I understand there is an ‘Asian interest floor’ in one of the dorms, but there has never been any interest in a floor EXCLUDING anyone… There are threads on this. I am not Asian nor a recent student, so beyond saying that 24% of the student body was Asian last year, if I remember right, I will just find the most recent thread and link it for you. In short, Asians who have gone there and post here don’t think it is a problem.</p>
<p>For example. a guy responding to an ‘any other Asians’ roll call here: <a href=“Any fellow Asians attending here this fall?? - #4 by nquyen - University of California - Santa Barbara - College Confidential Forums”>Any fellow Asians attending here this fall?? - #4 by nquyen - University of California - Santa Barbara - College Confidential Forums;
<p>Came back recently and posted this thread in praise of the University to incoming freshmen: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-santa-barbara/1616370-good-luck-all-prospective-baby-gauchos.html#latest”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-santa-barbara/1616370-good-luck-all-prospective-baby-gauchos.html#latest</a></p>
<p>And here’s one on point, although, honestly I think the person who STARTED the thread was ■■■■■■■■. There are good responses, though: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-santa-barbara/1532176-low-asian-population-how-are-the-asians-like-there.html#latest”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-santa-barbara/1532176-low-asian-population-how-are-the-asians-like-there.html#latest</a></p>
