The past few years have seen a rise in diversity on campus, and various student groups have been very active in the idea of acceptance. A couple of weeks ago, the SGA in conjunction with a couple other groups held a "Rally for Change" which aimed to open up conversation about diversity on campus.

Everyone is always very nice and pleasant the first semester until groups start getting made. But it doesn't seem that difficult to meet new people all the time. Everyone is really nice all the time. I love all my friends who I have met here- they are some of the most amazing people and RLO did great jobs pairing people up on the hall. Everyone has a laidback preppy well put together dress in class and when going out. sweats are usually accompanied by pearls in girls for example. and khakis and sperries for a lot of boys. but really anything goes. and as does the type of people here. although it may feel too preppy a lot of the time- everyone can find there own nitch- except goths.
