Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Worried I'll be an outcast in halls since i'm black..

A lot of what I read on tsr scares me. Do black students get left out in halls...Guess I'm scared of racism..?

In the same boat here sister or brother! But don't become a victim and isolate yourself this isn't the 1960's you won't be ostracised unless you want to be. Colour shouldn't be an issue that's what I plan to do anyway! :smile:

Don't worry, just be wary of people who try to treat you like a token.

TSR doesn't represent the majority of students, don't worry. You should be fine as long as you are friendly although you might experience a few racist people but that should be a small minority

This is coming from a black guy who was one of the only two black people living in the entire accommodation.

Pretty ridiculous statement although it depends where you're going. If you're at an inner city uni like me then at least half the people are black or asian.

You'll only be an outcast if you're a weirdo sweetie. Even then you may be popular amongst other weirdos :smile:

No, there's an apartheid in halls like in the 60's. You're all segregated to different floors and not allowed any access to any of theirs because of your race and ethnic background.

Of course not, everyone's equal when you start everyone doesn't know anyone. Stop worrying about racism so much and enjoy your life and uni.
