Samford University Top Questions

There is a wide range of students on samford's campus. I feel that I have been exposed to many different cultures while at Samford and its really cool to see that everyone is friends here. Not just each group sticking together. Samford students are from all over the United States and even from other countries. I had a good friend this year from England. Students at Samford are very politically aware. We have college republicans and democrats that campaign for different political candidates and Mike Huckabee came to speak at our school.

Most Samford students are white, upper middle class Southerners. However, those who do not fit this description are also welcomed.

Samford tends to be predominately white, protestant, and upper-middle class +.

There is not much diversity at Samford which sucks. A lot of people seem to be sheltered so it's sad and funny at the same time. Most students are very politically aware and are more right-wing or in the middle. Most come from predominantly wealthy families. Students talk about what they learn a lot. It's not in a nerdy or excessive way but we share what we're learning. A lot of what we share is what God's teaching us in life or what we're struggling with, or at least with best friends. People love to go to lectures and extend their knowledge. In the caf, as we call it, you have the jocks, the Sigma Chis, the Pi Kapps, the sorority girls, the theater people, and then kind of the rest. Some girls get really dressed up for class but mainly it's casual. Most people don't just roll out of bed though. People actually get ready for class. Most students are from Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Florida, and Texas.

students are predominantly right.

Most Samford students probably come from a middle class to upper class background. Politics is a big deal an I'd say for the most part most students are politically aware. I've actually seen several cars painted "Obama sucks" "Vote for McCain". It can be intense. With me being a minority, I've had some racial experiences. I don't necessarily think it came from an evil heart. It's just a sort of ignorace to other races. By no means does this serve as a generalization of the entire population. From my own experience, I've had a few comments and situations happen that weren't the most comfortable. I think it stems from a lack of knowledge about those who are not like you. If I could classify Samford into 4 groups you'd have: The Greeks: They're always dressed up it seems. They're always going to balls, and they are intense about Durby Days. Step sing is the big showdown for each sorority and fraternity. It's a pretty BIG deal. The Athletes: Most of the athletes stick together. Each sport hangs with their teammates. It can be generalized that they bring the "life" to campus an make life a bit more interesting and fun. The regular students: People who are not greek or athletes. They come in call shapes and sizes. What else can I say? The Nursing Majors: SOmeone get them some ATIVAN!!!! They are in a class of their own. I can say this because I am apart of this group.

There is almost no diversity on Samford's campus...majority is white rich kids. Many girls dress up in heals and dresses to class every day! Athletes always wear sweatpants. Sometimes frat guys wear suites to class. The majority of students are very right winged republicans and are very southern.

Unorganized, care-free, not passionate, content with mediocrity, segregated by race and cool kids.
