My experience at the University of Colorado Boulder has unfortunately not been a positive one. As a Black African American student, I have personally experienced situations that I found racially uncomfortable, including encounters involving racial slurs, racism, and unpleasant treatment from individuals. The racial demographics of a school should never determine whether a student feels safe, respected, or welcome. Regardless of whether a campus has a majority of one racial group or only a small number of Black students, every student deserves the same opportunity to learn, grow, and pursue a career without having to worry about discrimination or racial hostility. I also believe that students should not feel that their race or skin tone affects how they are treated or whether they are given the same opportunities as others. My experiences have left me questioning whether this environment truly provides an inclusive experience for students of all racial backgrounds. I hate to leave a review like this because I believe education should bring people together rather than make students feel divided or uncomfortable. However, I feel it is important to share my honest experience so that prospective students can make informed decisions and so the university can recognize areas where meaningful improvement may be needed. No student should have to tolerate racism, racial slurs, or discrimination simply because they chose to pursue an education. Every student deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, and equal opportunity.
