<p>@Pizzagirl No. Of course you aren’t obligated to do anything by yourself. But in my opinion, colleges have a moral obligation go promote the diversity of the campus and make it do that more students hang out with those who aren’t exactly like them. </p>
<p>That’s exactly what Harvard did back in the day. They were upset that different races would always stay in separate houses on campus and wanted their student body to be more open, tolerant, and accepting of more people. When you only hang around your race or gender, you tend to believe stereotypes about people who are different than you. So they completely integrated dorming. Which is why now they have coed dorms and non segregated dorming. </p>
