Exactly this. I will have to figure out which neighborhood and school district for two little ones. Especially many cities now operate on lottery systems, i may not get them enrolled where I would like them. I really wish it was all done already. Preparing for the first year, wherever I go, being very hectic.

So I have a question for you all. I'm meeting with the office of diversity one of my front runners while I'm in the area scoping out apartments. I want to ask them about what I guess would be the "Racial Climate" at their school (They only had 3 AA students in last year's 175 ish person class and 11 before that...). It's in Ohio, where I'm from, and I'm very aware of how certain parts of Ohio are still stuck in the 1800s. They have a very diverse faculty, which was promising, and the students seemed very welcoming at interview day. I'm just wondering how to approach this in a tactful way without coming off as rude or offensive. I'm sure that we're all in a similar boat considering the low minority presence in the medical field.

As always, keep grinding everyone! It's always great to get on here and see so many of us prospering!

Since it seems they are open to discussing diversity, that can sort of be your lead. You can ask about the diversity of the community, and their response/attitudes to the medical students. Or ask about what difficulties minority students specifically have had while transitioning to that school.
I've once asked if minority students have had any trouble serving the community the school was in and since it's the diversity office you'll be speaking to, usually they're already aware of the apprehensions minority students may have in certain areas so they're quite responsive and upfront!
I hope that helped!

Honestly, I have been frank with questions like these. I would probably ask that exact question, what is the racial climate like?

Also I've asked:
- What is the perceived level of comfort for minorities students with their classmates? Do they generally feel support and welcomed among their peers and in the broader community as a whole?
-Has there been any issues in the past with students being able to acclimate to the school/community?
-In your opinion, what's the level of tolerance, progressiveness, openness to racial, cultural, religious and sexual orientation differences?

I've talked to students that work with diversity office and I generally ask them how do feel, what do they think their classmates think, if they believe their classmates value the diversity in experience they bring etc etc.

Lol picture popped up when I quoted you- weird.

But yes, I have seen so much of this! It's like they almost want to undermine the worth of the acceptance for others at that specific school. "Cool you guys got accepted and I didn't, but I have better acceptances anyway! *sticks tongue out*"
