Knox College Top Questions

To an extent, but I do not believe they encompass the entire community

Come talk to some of us and decide for yourself. Asking if stereotypes are accurate is an incredibly loaded question.

For the most part, yes. Knox is very liberal, but it also promotes the exchange of ideas. Knox students pride themselves on their involvement with the world around us.

yes!

to some extent; for every crazy liberal there is a crazy conservative, but the majority of the student body are non-judgemental progressives, in the sense they are opened minded, but lean toward supporting more civil and human rights than the conservatives in office do.

no.

I don't know

The majority of the student body is very down-to-earth, especially compared to a school like Reed. There's tremendous diversity at Knox, but a lot of kids don't bother to look for it. The majority of the people working for admissions are, indeed, white, middle/upper-class kids from the Midwest, and some students complain about a lack of diversity. There is, however, a thriving international community on campus. I live with an Indian, a kid from Boston, a guy from Myanmar, a guy who was born in South Korea, but lived most of his life in South America, and a white kid from the Midwest. It's all a matter of being open to meeting new people and not staying in insular social groups.

Yes. Sort of.

Yes and no. I am wierd but not wierd like the stereotype. And we are not all "flaming liberals." I am an Apostolic Pentecostal and God is what is most important in my life. that affects how I live on and off campus.
