Morgan students come from various backgrounds. Some people consider it to be one of the best schools for international students. To a very large extent, I agree! Funding is not limited to US citizens alone, but is available to many international students. The religious atmosphere at Morgan allows for people to acknowledge and serve God as they want without infringing on the rights of others. Students are free to dress casually to class, and formally for presentations. The interaction among students of various backgrounds encourages relationship building and a broadnin of every student's knowledge base about other cultures. Most students are confident that they if they put in their best at MSU, they stand a chance of being hired by the best employers. Many Morgan alumni have such a great sense of pride in Morgan that they return to donate funds to enable other students complete their studies. These alumni work in places such as Ernst and Young, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, among others.

The students here at Morgan are very diverse. Yes, MSU is a HBCU or HBI but we do have students that are well known and liked that are from other countries. The student body as whole has a very open mind. You can find people who have nothing alike in their appearance, having a conversation on any given day about how much they will earn, or about politics or even sports. There are different social groups here on campus that I would recommend to anybody just to better the college experience. Fashion is big on campus I would say depending on the day. Mondays, Wednesday, and of course Fridays you can catch a lot people on campus dressed fashionably. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays you will see the majority of people dressed real relaxed in sweats for an example.

There is something to do in every age range here at Morgan State from arcade rooms to relaxation rooms. Moreover, there are a multitude of fraternities and sororities. No matter what one is looking for it is here.

I honestly think that Morgan is a place where anyone and everyone will feel welcomed. People hear the words Historically Black College and automatically think that there are only African American students at the school; that couldn't be any further from the truth. Morgan's campus host all ethnicities and people from all walks of life. Even LGBT students feel comfortable enough on campus to be themselves and not have to worry about constantly defending who they are. It all goes back to that family feel. You can be yourself around family; and at Morgan State University we are family.

There are no problems with racial, religious, LGBT, socio-economic groups in my school. None should but maybe a White student. Most student dress normal to class but the girls sometimes dress like they are going for a party. Yes different types of student interact a lot at my school. The Four tables might be mostly African Americans. Most students are African Americans and the others Africans. Students are politically aware. No I rarely see students talking about their earnings everyday.

Their is quite a bit of diversity at Morgan State University. The majority of the student population is African American, as Morgan is an HBCU (Historically Black College/University), however, we have a diversity mix of well-traveled students from across the world ranging from Europe, Africa and the Middle east. The majority of students who attend Morgan State University come from Middle Class homes so though everyone has their own personality and swag, most are humble individuals who are willing to help their fellow student. For example, I was in the bookstore last semester and a student saw that I was purchasing a book that he had in his car to sell to the university. We exchanged numbers and he gave me the book to use for the semester that way I didn't spend $200 on a new book.
