Living Situations
With his acceptance to his first-choice school, a medium-sized private university far from his hometown, Mo gets a package of information about his options for dorm living. He鈥檚 heard a lot about the various residential learning communities on campus, each of which focuses on a different theme. As an African American, Mo is interested in exploring his racial and cultural identity, so he鈥檚 drawn to the African American鈥搕hemed dorm, United. But then he wonders whether living in United will limit his interactions with students from other communities. He doesn鈥檛 want to be defined entirely by being African American, but he also doesn鈥檛 want to feel isolated in a dorm where there may be no other African American students.
Should Mo choose the United dorm knowing it may allow him the best chance to explore his ethnic identity, or should he opt for another residence hall where the dorm鈥檚 theme may attract a wider variety of students?
