CAMPUS DIVERSITY
Nowadays, the college experience is about so much more than academics. College not only serves as a place to discover oneself, but it is also serves as many students' introduction to the "real world". In order to prepare students for their post-collegiate lives, universities aim to have diverse student bodies which foster a worldly community. While many schools, especially the top institutions in the country, have done a good job of diversifying their campuses, united student bodies do not necessarily exist at these colleges.
Many people falsely assume that diversity equates to unity on college campuses. Unfortunately, diversity often strengthens divides between groups. It's one thing to have an all-white fraternity on a an all-white campus, but having all-white fraternities on so-called diverse campuses send a strict message to many minority students.
