Yes, to a certain degree - very much so. Although there is some diversity on campus, it is very scarce. This is especially true in terms of ideas and religions; if one wishes to find a liberal campus with students of different faiths coming together for the sole purpose of learning and experiencing the college life, Creighton is not the ideal place. Certainly there are liberals and member of different races/religions/etc., but there is such an overwhelming feeling of a uniform student body (white, Catholic, etc.) that it is difficult to feel at home.

We are smart, but not all of us are rich. Creighton offers a lot of financial aid that makes it possible for people like myself to pay for it. As to being Catholic, that is false. In fact, I am Jewish.
Megan
no. studying is a HUGE part of the Creighton lifestyle, but it is easy to get involved in other activities and to find places to go out to on the weekends. my social life is awesome at creighton, but i feel like i'm getting a great education, too.
Laura
Sometimes. For the size of our school we have a pretty diverse student body. There are those rich jerks around, but for there's a lot of focus on teaching the whole person, so a lot of the classes we take challenge us to think about our own perceptions of the world.
Marianne
Students are very driven and motivated, many want to get into professional school. They work very hard. However, most need scholarships and very few take the opportunity to attend Creighton for granted.
Tristan
Yes for the most part
Carly
This stereotype is not accurate. Creighton's financial aid office works dilligently to help students find the needed funds for college.

You don't have to be religious to go there because I'm not and it hasn't affected any of my experience at Creighton, you have to take a couple of theology and philosophy classes but they are really interesting, and there are parties every weekend
Maria
Not True, there are many people who love to go out and have a good time!!!

No. Creighton is diverse in the type of people who go here. Most people do put a fair amount of time into studying, however they also go out and have fun. And not all people here are super religious. There are many people who are, however you don't have to be to fit in--religion is not pushed onto you.
