Davidson College Top Questions

Describe the students at Davidson College.

Reese

Most of Davidson's studnets are from the Southern region, but Davidson I believe is hoping to change that. Usually people make friends from their freshman halls and keep those for a long itme, but the sports teams also keep to themselves, somewhat. However everyone talks to everyone. There is this idea that all Davidson students are rich, but that's not the case always. However, money is rarely discussed. Most everyone really enjoys giving back to the community and really enjoys community service. I just hope people visit other countires to see how the world is outside Davidson/ the United States.

Marie

Diverse

Cristina

Most people on Davidson's campus are religious, or at least spiritual. It is not a diverse campus at all, racially, sexually or other. People usually wear sundresses to class, at least when it is warm out. In the winter usually jeans and a sweater.

Kyle

Smart and often a bit pretentious. Usually a little naive about the outside world considering they live in a bubble. The atmosphere sometimes feels very high school-y, which is lame and kinda sucks

Emily

I love the close connection among Davidson students. They are students of high character and participate in a diverse range of activities. Davidson students tend to be well-rounded and interested in community service.

Kelly

The student body could be more diverse. There are definite groups of people- the nerds, the frat boys, the jocks. Racial and sexual orientation diversity is lacking.

Sarah

Davidson is very aware and open to different races and religions. Students are encouraged to speak their opinions no matter what the context. So although it is a very small school, everyone feels at home and comfortable with the people around them. Although there is a stereotype that everyone in the south is conservative, there are many democrats here. This diverse political opinion comes from the diverse backgrounds of Davidson students. We come from all other the world, and I must say I feel very at home coming from New Jersey.

Blake

We are not a very diverse campus in general. Racially, we do have both black and white students, but blacks are very outnumbered. There is an LGBT group on campus, and I believe most people have had fine experiences when discussing their sexuality, but I know of others who would not be comfortable coming out in the Davidson environment. Students are from all over the country and are very aware and active.

Rachel

Most students dress "preppy" for class. In warm weather guys will wear khaki shorts and a polo and girls will wear everything from jcrew shorts and a polo to skirts and a top to cute Lily Pulitzer sundresses. In the winter girls mostly wear designer jeans. When in doubt just put on something from J-Crew.

KC

Davidson has a great studnet body. While most are wealthy, students are not flashy with their money. Additionally, students tend to be more liberal and conservative, however, there is quite a balance.
