I went to school 20 miles west of there. It was a smaller school, but there weren't enough black kids to have their own hall. I don't know how residence halls in a small liberal arts school on the east coast ends up segregated, but I suspect it's self-selection on the students (this certainly happens in (college) Greek life). Still, it's weird that the institution would allow it.
