This study explores the non-academic experiences of biracial, undergraduate students at Iowa State University. A study of this nature was necessary because of the lack of literature available concerning biracial students' adjustment to a college environment and also their development. Data were obtained using qualitative methods. Students were selected via purposive sampling and the snowball method. A series of two 1/2-hour to 1-hour interviews was held with each participant over the course of approximately two to three months. Interviews were semi-structured and tape-recorded. Each participant was interviewed two times over an approximate two and a half month period. Data was analyzed and coded simultaneously under the constant comparative method. Interviews allowed each student to express their individual ideas while providing useful information on the students' experiences. Areas that were examined include family influence and background, hometown and school environments, extracurricular activity selection, choice of friends and racial categorization of biracial and multiracial people.These areas of discussion resulted in an examination of the students' racial identity development. Racial identity development models analyzed varied from non-minority identity development models, minority identity development models and biracial identity development models. Each biracial student in this study has developed his or her own sense of racial identity. Each student's sense of racial identity was compared to several racial identity development models. The students have developed mechanisms for feeling comfortable in the Iowa State environment. Research concerning minority students on predominantly white campuses is presented to provide a framework for the students' satisfaction with their college surroundings. Biracial students at Iowa State reported adjusting to life on campus in spite of the lack of programs or services to assist them. Because no services designed specifically for biracial students are currently available an opportunity exists to develop such offerings at Iowa State. The creation of such services potentially would add to the robustness of the Iowa State University community.
