Abstract	College students' experiences vary significantly by race and ethnicity. Often, institutions prioritize structuring their undergraduate experience to cater to white students' needs and desires, such as by hiring predominantly white instructors, and creating classroom learning environments that privilege white students. Though scholars researching students' college experiences and outcomes frequently measure college quality by more easily defined data--such as graduation rates and students' earnings after college--more research is needed that explicitly examines the racial and ethnic variation in students' college satisfaction. This report explores student-reported satisfaction from a nationally representative sample with a focus on variation across racial and ethnic groups, with most of the analyses centered on the four largest racial and ethnic groups (Asian, Black, Hispanic, and white people). The findings reinforce the need to deepen the exploration of college "success" measures beyond the average student. Though significant work is still needed before these measures of students' experiences can be integrated into larger policy measures of college quality, by examining racial and ethnic differences, the study can demonstrate strong variation in the ways institutional characteristics and students' experiences relate to their perceptions of college quality.
