The last time I checked there were white people living on Laird Campus too...quite a few of them. So we're not segregated...Laird Campus is the most integrated place to live. If you look around at the people at the bus stop when you're going to class, there are all kinds of people there. And the white people live there for the same reason we do...because it's the best place to live. Living in the towers I have air conditioning, a bathroom that 15 people don't use, a kitchen, I don't have a check in/out time during holidays, my friends have room to stay over...it's the closest we can get to luxury on campus. I think that's why black people like it on Laird Campus. I mean if living in a dorm on the south side of campus is your thing then that's cool... I'd just rather stay where I am.

I don't know about you all, but the reason i moved to the towers is not because of the black population. That would be a really stupid reason to do that. I'm not here for black people I'm here for an education. Also, i do like my own bathroom, i would love to cook for myself and i want lots of space not to mention AC! That's why i choose the towers. I wanted to live here since i came to visit the school, and i didn't know about the population on this side of campus at all. Furthermore, i select the people i socialize with based on personlaity and not color. That would also be a dumb decision to be around a bunch of people i didn't like just b/c they were black. Anyway, the point is preference. I hope that is why people choose to live here. If not, and the only way you make decisions is based on ethnic reasons, then you might be a person who can't make good decisions, which wouls make you a piss poor decision maker.
