From what I've seen, most people seem to mesh pretty well together here and people are mostly accepting. I'm sure there are extreme cases, but this is certainly true in the groups of people I've known at the university. There are quite a few support groups for different classifications of minority students as well. We host lots of scholarship and foreign exchange students who are from different parts of Asia, the middle east, Europe, etc. It can be really cool to get to know these people because their experiences and culture are so different from yours.

You can decide what kind of group you want to hang out with. We have a lot of students from all over Nebraska. Most the people I've met have grown up somewhere in the Midwest. Politics have been an exciting ordeal on campus lately. We had Chelsea Clinton drop by the student union a couple weeks back and give a speech, as well as Senator Obama's wife.

I have participated in a few campus ministries, and that has been fun because I've gotten to meet many wonderful people. There isn't very much interaction with racial minorities on campus. My roommate is involved in LGBT activities on campus, so that has helped to broaden my perspectives on homosexuals.
