OU 's student body is primarily, at least I believe it is, mostly Caucasian. However, there are many exchange students and students of different races and religion. There seems to be diversity in the options of clubs and organizations on campus for many different groups and beliefs. Most students wear jeans and a t-shirt, or hoodie, to class. Pajamas and sweats also seem to be popular to wear to class. Most students are from Ohio, since it's a state school. There also seems to be a lot of students politically active, for both the school and the U.S.

OU's student body is a laid back crowd. Most party on the weekends and some party on the weekdays. In general, most of the campus is somewhat liberal; however, Campus Crusade for Life and 180 are some of the largest student organizations on campus. Aside from that, most students are physically active and visit the student recreation center.

there are a lot of meatheads.

You can find a lot of different types of people at OU. There seem to be a lot of "those people," which is what my friends and I call the preppy Barbie and Ken doll types who all seem to look, dress, and act the same; these are the people who get drunk all of the time and who I consider to be rather stupid and very unoriginal...sheep, basically. But beyond these people, there are a lot of originals - people who aren't afraid to be who they are and not worry about what other people think of it. Trust me, you'll be able to find people like yourself here. Everyone has a niche.

From what I've seen, there is very little racial tension on campus, or if there is I've not been exposed to it.

no student would feel out of place at OU. There is a group for every student to join and make friends

I haven't had a lot of experience with diverse groups on campus. I've taken a training through the LGBT center and focused a project on the Crewson House for students with disabilities but otherwise, I haven't gotten a very diverse experience. I don't know that any student would feel out of place. No matter who you are, there's someone else here with similar backgrounds, interests, etc. Most students wear jeans and a hoodie or t-shirt to class. There are a few of the sorority girls who dress a little more fashionably or skimpier but it's pretty dress down here. There isn't a whole lot of interaction among different types of students. There's a lot of pride for being different but not an awful lot of interaction. The four tables: Asian/International Students, Residence Life staff members, Sorority girls/Frat boys and the rest of OU. Most OU students are from Ohio-a shocking number from Cleveland. Most people come from middle class backgrounds. There are a good number of students who are politically aware, a good number who aren't. Predominantly left. I haven't heard a lot of students discuss how much they'll earn one day.

The OU student body tends to be either very involved or not involved at all. There are a million different groups to get involved with on campus, and many students take advantage of that, and others don't. The students who don't tend to be the ones who drink their lives away on the weekends...

It's pretty big, so it's not likely that you'll see the people from your floor walking around campus, but the classes are small, well, except the basic classes.

Ohio University is not very diverse... we need to work on that.
