Being Black at a PWI | The University of Texas 

Wow, this is a really good video! I love how you gave voice to even those who are on the margins in the black community. We share similar experiences at Emory as it relates to blackness, queerness, transness, and womanhood

thank you so much for this video! so much good info. ut’s at the top of my list of universities but i was def concerned about how little the black population was represented. love seeing my people’s opinions on the topic ✊🏾

I'm currently a freshman at UT and i can totally relate to what some of these people said. In my opinion UT is pretty diverse compared to the other Texas schools I've visited in the past but there really aren't that many black people, especially in my classes. For example in my chem lab and bio discussion classes (which have 15-20 people grouped together from the larger main class) I am the ONLY black person there. And there are numerous occasions (to the point where it happens almost every other day) where people look at me like I just shouldn't be here. And there are definitely groups that don't allow black people or other minorities at all. This is a great school and I honestly wouldn't be at another school given the chance but there is definitely work to be done.

My mom wants me to go to UT Austin, but I knew it was a PWI so I was veryy uncomfortable with where she stood. She didnt go to school here so she really doesn't understand how that can effect you. But seeing this video is giving me a 50/50. I don't know how I feel at this exact moment, like it's sad that it's like this but if I go I'll know I have people to be around.

This breaks my heart. Even though I appear white, I'm actually half Mexican. I speak Spanish and English. I hope to transfer to UT Austin, but I hope if I meet you there, you wont feel that way. I appreciate your culture and your identity; i hope we can just enjoy each other instead of feeling out of place

Very insightful interviews! Keep it up Lynnette! ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿

This was amazingly put, great job 🤘🏾

Interesting to know and I love how together the black community seems to be there!

This is so disappointing. I’m going to their Texas Preview next weekend :///

On what planet is buddy white passing?

love your videos! monetize them. collect that bag sis!

Prospective grad student & loved this video.

Thank you so much for this!

Well the cross section interviewed were social aberrations: black, gay, trans, pansexual etc. Meaning it’s hard enough fitting in when you’re conventional without adding to it. Of course you’ll have problems fitting in when you’re such an anomaly. A better social sample size would be to interview heterosexual blacks in UT. You need a better sample of the black population to get your answers.

Hello!Could you tell me the names of sororities at Ut that are welcoming of black people?thanks

Thank you for this!! I'm going to UT for grad school in fall '23. I've been looking for info told from a minority student.

Aye i seen that guy at 25 secs in in a whole other video😹😹

How do you get into UT if you're out of state? Would a 27 ACT be good enough?

Awesome video!
