[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a Duke alum and it pains me to say it but I agree with UNC. I know a number of highly successful AA UNC alums from our generation (graduated around the 90s) who had a great experience at UNC. They developed a tight network there that has helped them professionally as well but also felt very comfortable working in a predominantly white corporate world.[/quote]

why UNC over Duke, is it the state college effect?[/quote]

Duke was more segregated. My perspective is dated so this could no longer be the case, and there were definitely plenty of exceptions to the rule, but there was a lot of pressure for black students to stick to themselves, which interestingly came more from their community than from being excluded by whites (though that also did happen).[/quote]

I think Amherst has a black only dorm. Boggles my mind.[/quote]

Ugh. Typical white tears. Amherst does not have a “Black only” dorm. It has a dorm where celebration of Black culture is a prerequisite for moving in. Like many other SLACs there are also other special interest dorms. Please take your anti DEI bs elsewhere. We get it, daring not to center White Christian culture at the expense of all others was just a bridge too far.
