I went to Westminster College in New Wilmington from 2013-2015 before transferring out of state. During my last year, several African American students also transferred due to the racism they experienced while attending the school and how they felt like they didn’t belong there. I can’t speak for the college town now, but it was bad enough that I reported specific incidents and things I heard from white classmates to student affairs during my time there so they could systemically address racism in the student body outside of my individual voice.
Passing through is safe, but not an ideal small town, getaway weekend trip if you’d like to have a comfortable experience at a bed & breakfast, wine tasting, brewery, etc.
