Knox College Top Questions

Knox has an extremely diverse student body. We certainly do have the liberal hippie kids, but we also have conservative, people with strong religious beliefs, and people from diverse educational and economic backgrounds. We also have many, many "normal" sort of stereotypical Midwestern kids. Most everyone finds their particular niche at Knox. We party hard, but we tend to do it responsibly.

It's not true that the entire school body is any of those things. Yes, we're smart, but we also have plenty of people with -very- active social lives. There are plenty of attractive students here, too. We do seem to attract a liberal student body, which is not a bad thing in the least. Although, we have plenty of super conservative students, too. They just happen to be outnumbered. And yes, our liberal students DO have good ethical guides and moral codes. We're nice people! We're not snobs either. A lot of students have money, but there are plenty (like me) who came from working class or lower backgrounds, and are having a great time.

In general, yes. Knox is a liberal accepting community. Knox is very weird to those who don't attend and somewhat weird even to those who do. However, it is in general a good weird - a good different. If you enjoy your campus visits then Knox is for youm and in that case Knox rocks.

This stereotype is absolutely true. One of the main points of attending Knox is to learn to ask questions and this is heavily emphasized by the faculty. It also helps that Knox students are very involved in clubs, organizations, and world issues. Everyone has their own opinion and isn't afraid to voice it.
