Westminster College-Salt Lake City Top Questions

Describe the students at Westminster College-Salt Lake City.

Louise

Very liberal, active, and diverse. A lot of cyclists, climbers, so a lot of hippy-wear going on. We are a longboard, hackey-sack campus, with an incredibly intellectual edge. Students rarely focus on money, more interested in knowledge, and issues. Environmentally sound campus, very interested in eco issues.

Cameron

Everyone is so kind and friendly!

Jody

There's a mixture of everything at Westminster, so your experience is what you make it. The majority of the people here are openminded, so don't be afraid to learn and teach. Share your life and allow others to share theirs with you.

Andrew

The student body is very outgoing in the outdoors. From trips to the desert on weekends to skiing/snowboarding after class during the week. Everybody here is always ready to go out and have fun.

Matt

The student body at Westminster is pretty diverse. Although it is difficult to fully describe it as I am a commuter student and only a freshman.

Courtney

Westminster isn't a particularly diverse college ethnically, but that is one of their big pushing points for the next year. I, myself, am part of a minority, but I've never really felt out of place here so there definitely isn't hostility toward racial diverse people - at least not that I've experienced. Westminster is very open to LGBT individuals and those LGBT individuals I know have felt very welcome here. Our LGBT club thrives and makes an impact on campus. The general "dress code" here ranges - I've been to class in sweats and slippers and also in more formal wear for presentations and whatnot. There's a lot of Utah students here and a good majority of students attend here due to the close proximity to lots of ski resorts.

Taylor

This is the only school in Utah that is not predominantly LDS. I feel like it is very open to racial, religious, LGBT, and socio-economic people, and they can feel comfortable being here. However, it is not very diverse in terms of races, being mostly white students here.

Jessica

The campus is slightly diverse but not all students feel welcome.

Elizabeth

There are so many different students on campus, its hard to find someone just like you, but you make friends with people that you wouldn't usually think you would make friends with. Take my roommate for example, if we were to have met anywhere else, we would not be friends, she is organized, really focused on her studies, a little control, and in honors. Not someone I would try really hard to be friends with, me being disorganized, focused on my studies - but not that much - and an education major. We are completly different people, grew up differently and have different values, but we are great friends! We have girls nights in, workout together, get addicted to TV shows together and shop. Its amazing that we are still friends, but I am really glad we are!

ASWC (Associated Students of Westminster College) is an organization set up to strictly serve the students of Westminster. They provide countless activities to help students get to know each other and the school. Westminster has a really great clubs and organization program that includes tons of clubs all over campus that satisfies almost every interest someone may have. If you cant find a club that interests you they are more than willing to help you create one and fund it for you. Although this is a great service, Clubs on campus could be funded more appropriately in reference to other activities on campus that are funded through student fees.
