Groups larger than two are generally segregated by ethnicity, although most students sit alone or in pairs. Like the population of the university, the majority of the students in the cafeteria are white. That poses a culture shock for U.S. students of color like Kyle McCree from Flint, Michigan. He says the U isn't as diverse as it could be. For me, it's actually a new experience because I've never been a minority because of Flint.
Black people are the majority.
In this day and age, we're no longer living in Minneapolis, St. Paul or Minnesota. We're living in a global community. There are several scholarships available to students of color who wish to attend the University of Minnesota, including the Katz and Kirby Puckett Scholarships. The University also offers opportunities for students to study abroad. Other scholarships are available through the International Reciprocal Student Exchange Program.
