So what Ive noticed most about students at WSU is how diverse they all are. I grew up in a small town that is primarily white republican hicks and being at WSU I love how diverse the culture is. There is pretty much every ethnicity, religious group, and political group on campus. To help celebrate these differences there are many clubs for the different groups as well.

Mostly in-state students. Don't know much about the body.

Honestly, don't know much about this. A lot of the activies are held along Terrall Mall, and being in sciences, I'm not near there to see the different activities going on.

There are a few redneck and cowboy looking kids that go to school here, but its a huge campus, and people can find just about every type of social group at this school. Going Greek is huge at Washington State. But there are many different social networks, and it definitely is not like high school with the cliques. Everyone kind of hangs out with everyone.

There is some diversity in the student body, mostly in the form of exchange students. Political awareness is slightly better on the whole than in your average kindergarten class, but not by much. Rich little snots and people that just shouldn't be in collegiate life abound here, so if that's who you hung out with in high school be prepared for the second verse to be the same as the first.

I wouldn't say that that there is a "typical" Washington State student...in general, WSU students are very social, outgoing, and friendly. WSU students come from both the West side and East side of Washington and each group brings a different perspective and different ideas, which can be refreshing or, at times, create conflict. I never felt out of place, andI feel that anyone will be able to find a group that they can belong to.

I wish the school was more diverse, I feel that the campus and community at large suffers greatly from defacto stereotypes and stigmas. While there is not really blatant racism, and the institution itself incourages tolerance and diversity, I still feel that this a sheltered community with minimal diversity.

I feel like there's a huge mixture of people and there's always a club or group of friends there for you in whatever you'd like to try.
I feel like for the most part I've met a lot of OBAMA!! supporters but I've met a few republicans who say they're repubs b/c of their religion.

This school is not very diverse and that could be one of its downfalls but the student body here is amazing. Generally people here are so polite, helpful, and friendly. Apart from athletes, most people are from around here so you feel even when you go home the people here are not to out of touch. It's hard to describe the student body here, without talking to another student who goes here.
