Everyone is very friendly! Usually by the ede of a semester you will know everyone in your classes. There is usually someone who is willing to get together and and study or let you borrow their notes if needed! Someone is usually willing to help you with whatever you need! Whin your major you will get to know the majority of the students because you will have the majority of your classes with them.

Outgoing, relaxed, casual and open.

In all of the classes that I'm taking my classmates have all been really friendly. If there is something that I need help with, like when I'm studying or doing a math problem someone is always willing to try and help.

My classmates are hard working students who are trying to understand the material.

I would say that about half of the student body is from Wyoming, because it is such a wonderful school, and the only 4 year University in the state. Many others, myself included come from surrounding states to take advantage of the cheap tuition while still being far enough away from home to get a true college experience. I also have friends from places such as Chicago and California, and a few from outside the country as well. It is a very welcoming environment, where I think anyone from anywhere can find a niche to feel comfortable in.

There are people from all around the world and then people who live next door. It is a great place to be because of the differing backgrounds yet it has a hometown feel.

A lot of the student population is from Wyoming and Colorado, but I have met so many people from other countries like China, Ethiopia, and Saipan.

The student body at the University of Wyoming is very diverse in the sense of they were raised and the way they think. Racially the school is predominantly white, but the university has an outstanding exchange program so there are more and more ethnic backgrounds appearing on campus. I have been able to meet many of the students involved with our LGBT group called spectrum and they are so great. The students on campus are definitely split with right wing left wing politics. It seems that on campus the majority of students are very conservative but if you're not very conservative you're most likely the opposite extreme. The rich., city dweller kids would definitely feel out of place in the foot hills of Wyoming. Students at the university are usally upper middle class or lower with a few exceptions. The student dynamic at Wyoming is very complex but if I were to describe four tables in the dining hall I would say that one table is the exchange students, one table is the cowboys, one table is the rock climbing adventurous students, and one table is full of your average everyday college student who is studying, talking with friends about an upcoming party, or discussing their social life.

As a student body we are diverse. We have exchange students from all over the world who come here, to UW for an education. Though most students who go here are from the state itself, many are from neighboring states and the coasts. As a student body we like to distinguish ourselves from other people, making us very... um... unique?. Ok we will just say that we are not all flamboyant but we are individuals and very proud of that fact. As a small university you can't help but interact with many diferent students from many different groups. We are stuck 45 minutes from the nearest "city" so we do all try to get along and make this experience cohesive for everyone around us. As far as politics and student dynamics goes, we recently hosted Senator Barack Obama and former President Clinton here at the university. This focused the students politics even more. We discuss and disagree on many things but we all know that not everyone is right or wrong and we respect peoples opinions even if they seem to be completely bias. Our futures are always prevelant to us but we live in the moment and then wake up in the morning and curse cause we have a test that day. But we have fun and live our lives knowing that we are in control of our future and it is no one else's fault if we fail at our studies.

It seems to me that there is nearly no racism. However, the campus is mainly white.
