Few days to decide: U of Virginia or U of Chicago?

Says the 50+ poster. Do you even have a kid in college? AA kids at NE schools (top 30) do not segregate expects for a few first gen kids. Most of the AA kids outside the first gens grew up in white or integrated neighborhoods and went to integrated/white high schools. The rest have AA and other friends. I don’t know about the southern schools. As an AA parent I would EXCEPT Duke, Rice and UVA to be extremely segregated!

Rice is routinely ranked very highly for its diversity and inclusion. In fact, it’s been ranked number one in the nation for race/class interaction: https://news.rice.edu/2016/08/29/rice-ranked-no-1-for-happiest-students-and-lots-of-raceclass-interaction/

My colleague's very pretty daughter transferred out of UVA and into Chicago. They're in-state. UVA is great for oblivious frat and sorority kids who want to get into sales/lobbying/PR. Kids with depth prefer an elite private ethos.

Not sure what being “pretty” has anything to do with the topic here. All the ugly ones stay at UVA?

I always thought of Chicago as a booky school for frumpy nerds. Seeing an attractive outgoing gal like her transfer out of UVA and into UC changed my perspective, I suppose.

Based on a sample size of one? You’re an imbecile.

There are plenty of schools where isolation of races happen in social activities and groupings.
Your bubble sadly isn’t the whole United States.
