    What is UNSW like in terms of social life, for Aussie Caucasians?

    Sooo.. "I'm not racist" BUT I have been 'warned' by people that if I go to UNSW, I'll hate it because most students are asians who tend to stick together, so the social aspect will be shit for me.. I'm looking at Arts. What percentage of students would you say are aussie caucasians? Do you...
