I'm filipino and go to Providence College, always in the top 3 for least diverse schools.
I believe there is about 4 Filipinos with a total of 4000, so what 0.1 percent of the population.
I grew up in SoCal, so I'm use to diversity...
it's about 90 percent caucasian but some of the discussions in classes can get mad awkward.
Huckleberry Finn discussion was a disaster...
So many picky eaters, I'm glad when I show someone a new food because I've been exposed to different races.
But all in all, I'm glad i'm at a less diverse school cuz I feel sometimes the clubs get real clique-y and no one is allowed to intermingle.
I feel like I know more about other races and help educate people in being less ignorant.

Its up to the individual to take advantage.

What school are you talking about SoleWoman? Curious

Ha ha..missed the not serious...comment. I want mad though just staying facts. And I'm an alum of Howard University. Not going to get in a battle of the best hbcus. But check Howards portfolio...you will see whats up.
