[quote=Anonymous]I think it's very reasonable to want to be in a diverse environment. I teach in a Ph.D. program that has only a few African American students, which we consider to be a significant problem because they often struggle to succeed. As faculty, we work very hard to give them adequate resources (as we do for all our students), but I do think that the "sticking out" factor has negative repercussions for some of them. Some, of course, do really well in the program. So, I wouldn't encourage you to make your decision based entirely on the demographics of the program/university, but I think it's a very reasonable consideration to factor in with everything else--fit of the program, reputation, financial package, etc.[/quote]
