Abstract
Students who attend black institutions purchase psychological well-being and spiritual affinity at the cost of less favorable physical circumstances. On white campuses, black students attain a better physical environment and greater bureaucratic efficiency at the expense of less satisfying interpersonal relationships and less peace of mind. Institutions of higher education need to combine the best of both environments to avoid forcing black students to make this type of choice.Keywords
