Students at the University of South Dakota are extremely varied. We have students from many different ethnic and religious backgrounds. Athletes are being scouted from states such as Florida, Hawaii, California, and states all across the US. I've also met students from India, Germany, China, and Brazil. Although the majority of USD students Caucasian, it is not a noticable majority. Students of all types interact with one another. There is no such thing as a typical USD student. Some students are bookworms, athletes, musicians, philosophy enthusiasts, etc.Students tend to group together based more on interests than race, religion, or socio-economic class. In fact, socio-economic class is not a relevant factor at USD. Some students have a wealthy financial background, while others do not. However, it is not a relevant factor in student interactions. Although students of similar interests are more likely to interact, there are no social barriers based on interests. Fraternity and sorority members hang out with non-members, athletes hang out with journalism majors, democrats with republicans, and so on. The school has such a wide variety of beliefs, backgrounds, and interests that it is not segregated in any way. Students gravitate toward others with similar taste, which is natural, but you don't have to be part of a specific group to interact with those students.
