Well for the most part there isnt any diversity at penn state. But lets think about this for a second, what college is really diverse any way. If you go to a historically black college, you would have mostly black students. We attend Penn State which is predominately white.

We found that out of forty eight people or so it was about 30 white people and the minority picking up the difference. I know for a fact that when white people walk around this campus, they see the same stuff as if they were back in their hometowns. So its easy for them to fell just like a person not like the minority in the room. Before I came to University Park, I was at a branch campus in north east Pennsylvania. When I was at that campus I was one out of three black people. It was the worst. I mean everyone knew who I was. Well I really didnt mind that but everybody there looked at me as a liaison for all of the black community. I was like you have to be kidding me.
