How do the background characteristics> activities, goals, and perceptions of black students at predominantly white colleges differ from their white counterparts? In an attempt to answer these questions, research results from several sources were combined in this report. Emphasized in particular were findings from the “Questionnaire on Student and College Characteristics” (QSCC). A sample of 249 black students at 83 traditionally‐white institutions had responded to the QSCC in 1968. The similarities and differences between this group of black students and a matched group of white students are discussed and related to other research evidence.
