Since arriving on campus, my classmates have not just simply been accepting, caring, and trustworthy towards me, but they have also broadened my narrow worldview by teaching me firsthand new things about different religions and cultures that, before this year, simply existed within a textbook.

My classmates, for the most part, are just like me in my major-concentrated classes. There are a few core classes in which meshing is a little interesting, but we're all just trying to get the best possible grade we can.

Most of the student body is Caucasian. I have not run across many African-Americans, or Hispanics, although there are some. Individuals come from so many different countries it really provides you a cultural experience. They have different events on campus to introduce you to all these cultures and it's just amazing. There are so many different religions too. Even though it is technically a Presbyterian University, you see Methodists (and other Christians), as well as Buddhists, Jews, etc. The LGBT community is well accepted here. It's nice. Most students see the price of tuition and fees at TU and automatically think that all the students are rich. That is not the case. They help you get a good financial aid package so that all students, regardless of their socio-economic status can attend there. Most students wear shorts or jeans and flip flops to class. It's pretty laid back. I think hardcore Goth students may feel out of place at TU, but if they tried they could definitely fit in and be accepted.

The classes are small and engaging with intelligent students willing to participate in class discussions. There is typically a variety of ages, genders and races in every classroom. Most are willing to participate in study groups as well.
Lauren
Open-minded, active, involved, friendly, loud and quiet, party-goers and bookworms, expressive, preppy and free-spirited, work-horses and slackers, sports-fanatics and musicians, mostly intelligent... and they all seem to mix pretty well, at least better than in high school.
