Subject: URM parents/alum, which PWI schools have you been happy with? Which to avoid?
My African American DD is a junior at Columbia and loves it. I’m actually surprised every time I visit at the amount of POC walking around campus. She loves being in the city.

What PWI colleges have you/your child enjoyed attending?
Did you have any issues finding a friend group and social activities?
Any PWI colleges you did not have a good experience at as an URM?
My kid is at a PWI and I am a graduate of 2 PWIs. What is your DS's intended major?

I’m hearing to avoid Boston College. But I know a group of POC graduates who remained friends and seem to have enjoyed college there 20 years ago.

I am an African-American who went to an HBCU and then GWU for law school. I was amazed at how many black people were at the law school. I loved my time there. The Black Law Students Association (BLSA) was super strong. I am not surprised undergrad is the same way.

Their immediate campus is gorgeous, and they have safety units traveling the campus on bikes 24/7.

Is your kid ados?
That’s probably why the community feels smaller than what’s advertised on paper
