[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, people like you are the worst.  You like to collect other UMC people of different colors so you can tell yourself and others what a great person you are.  In reality you would never be friends with the Korean who does your dry cleaning, the Honduran who does your yard work, or even the Ethiopian family who serves you food at your "favorite" Ethiopian restaurant that you go to so you can brag to your friends about how "worldly" you are.  What you actually want are UMC people who live in the same size house as you, drive the same cars as you, and send their kids to the same private school as you.  Do better![/quote]

I think socializing in college and at home are two different things. At home, you’re income level often defines your social circles. However, in college, disparities in family income levels, although present, are less noticeable when students share the same spaces: dorms, dining halls, classrooms. I guess the OP was asking at what universities are kids more open to mixing/socializing with students of different backgrounds.

At home, if you are UMC, you would have little to no opportunities to socialize with lower income families, no matter their race. [/quote]
