[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My experience is that the study body segregates based on identity so people hang out with people like themselves.  It's not a cohesive community.[/quote]

I think this is a weird comment to make about UCLA specifically because I've never been in a community where this isn't the case (my college, my jobs, church, my kids' schools, etc).  It's human nature for people to segregate based on identity. It is very hard if not impossible to get authentic mixing of cultures and races on any sort of large scale.

I think it’s inevitable at most state schools. If I see this behavior at a lac, that’s a red flag.[/quote]

I know many tout how diverse state schools are but students tend to self segregate. even if LACs are not as diverse based on the common dataset I have found that students tend to associate with others outside of their race and prior social/economic much more.

From the students I know that went to UCLA  they seems to self select and form more exclusive cliques more than other state schools - I assume more due to the size and prestige of the university.
