Describe the students at Arkansas Tech University.

Natalie

The students are all friendly and incredibly smart. Everyone makes you feel extremely welcome.

Shelby

Most of my classmates are very down to earth, laid back country people who are here trying to better themselves financially and job wise.

I have friends on campus that come from all different religions, races, genders, and backgrounds. I don't think that any student could feel out of place at Arkansas Tech. We have people that were born and raised in the same town as Arkansas Tech and we have people from the Middle East and Asia. LGBT students would not feel out of place at Tech either. I have yet to see or hear about discrimination of a LGBT student at Tech. All types of students interact at Arkansas Tech. Tech even encourages this by assigning roommates from different ethnicities. My first year at Tech my roommate was from China and we are still good friends to this day. If there were four tables of students in the dining hall I would say that one table would be jocks, one table would be band people, one table would be the people from frats, and the last table would be scattered groups of people that don't fit in these groups and teachers. The majority of people at Arkansas Tech are from the United States with a fair number coming from Arkansas. The students are very politically aware and active. We have clubs for republicans, democrats, and a group for people who just don't really like government. I would say that overall these students are pretty evenly spread. The financial background of most is middle class, although some have enough money to join fraternities and some have to work full time to pay for their college. The students at Tech talk about how much they will earn some day and thing about it even more. Money is one of the greatest motivators for students in colleges everywhere.
