I agree that the reason why blacks are attracted to the Laird Campus is because of preference as far as living conditions, but I also believe that the reason why so many move to Laird campus is because this is where most of the black people live. I, along with many others of my class of 2003 were just put into the towers as freshman. As a matter of fact, the year that we came into UD was the first time that freshman were ever put into the towers. Laird Campus is all that I know and I have gotten used to living over here. I wouldn't know how to react living anywhere else. This is why I still remain here. I have made lots of friends that can relate to the same situations as I, and I feel that if I started off living "across the tracks" I would not have met as many friends (as far as black friends) because there aren't hardly any black people on that side of campus. It's a shame and it shouldn't have to be this way, but that's the way it is and I really don't see it changing much.

As far as there not being that many black people on South, North and East Campus. You would be surprised because there are many more than people think. But from those that I know, they feel that living in these areas are more condusive to learning because they are close to classes, professors and the library. We just do not really notice the amount of minorities over here because they are not the people most of us see every day, esecially those of us in the honors program and taking honors classes.
