Do you think the UMKC campus is racially segregated?

"It's a pretty easygoing campus. The only thing you notice is the concentration of ethnic groups, but I don't see any separation. But it's not like walking across Troost."

Noah Boydston

Mechanical Engineering

"Coming from a predominantly white high school, I think this is as cultural as it gets. I don't see segregation here. It depends on the situation and school."

Jonathan Woods

Senior

Communication Studies

"There are so many different groups of people on campus. I know all kinds of people and we are all together."

Sudarshan Banger Senior Engineering

"I think there is segregation. Just like in majors, people are segregated by their own interests I guess."

Nkau Her Junior Liberal Arts

"No, I don't see it. It varies each day. I feel free to mix with whomever."

Masoud Al-Ghazawi Pharmacy Sophomore

"No, not really. I'm pretty comfortable here."
