This study suggests that residence hall students at a predominantly White university perceive the racial climate of residence halls differently depending on their cultural group. White, African American, Latino, Native American, biracial, and international college students were included in this study. In each instance where there were significant differences in students' responses regarding racial climate, the statistical significance was between White and one or more of the cultural minority groups. There were no significant differences found in the responses of any of the ethnic minority groups.
