Diversity consults of primary students from United States specifically the surrounding states to West Virginia as well as coastal states and a few others spread throughout. We also have a flux number of international students depending on the semester that join our family. 32 countries are normally represented at any given time on campus.

In all honesty, it really depends on the person but people are usually kind and hard-working.

Alanah

My classmates at Marshall are some of the most intelligent, thoughtful, and kind people I have ever met.

Emily

The students at Marshall are very nice and some are very competitive. Most of the students are from in-state and live relatively close to campus.

Britney

The students at MU come from all ethnic, racial, religious, and economical backgrounds. We support and encourage each other through the diversity!

Chelsea

There are students from all walks of life, but most students are from places close to Huntington. Most students are from West Virginia. People don't really dress up for class. We just dress casually (jeans, t-shirt, etc.).

Marshall has a somewhat diverse student body. Geography-wise, the students are mainly from West Virginia, Kentucky, and Ohio (the Tri-state region) and we have a large number of Asian international students. But besides that, there are not a ton of out of state students or international students. There is definitely a lot of Christianity on campus since that is the predominant religion in West Virginia. Marshall itself is not religious but there are a lot of student groups and clubs that are. Coming with the Christianity and being in West Virginia, there are a lot of conservative view points when it comes to politics. There aren't really different "types" of students, everyone kind of intermingles. Most students wear either jeans or sweatpants to class and there is a range of "dressy" to casual in terms of tops.

Michael

Our campus is very diverse I would have to say. We have tons of different groups for almost every interest a student may have. We have a LGBT office, we also have a lot of inter nation students, and we have a lot of different religious groups within a lot of different denominations. At first it seems like everyone os from West Virginia but once you get to meet people there are people from all over the United States and the World.

My classmates were usually enjoyable and engaging people.
