Good for the Most Part

Rice really tries to increase its diversity, but sometimes it is hard to see it. There is a good range of all kinds of races, backgrounds, and beliefs. It's very easy to find a club or organization supporting anything you're looking for - ethnic student associations, LGBT support, political groups. The only thing is, sometimes students of particular races can be a little cliquey, especially the foreign exchange students. I honestly do not understand why this is, because the community is more welcoming than anywhere else I've been. Most circles of friends are very diverse in themselves. However, I admit that there are two predominant groups: Asians and white Texans.
