Westminster College-Salt Lake City Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at Westminster College-Salt Lake City accurate?

Elizabeth

Not everyone is a ski or snowboard Bro, in fact there is a rather large population of studemts that do not ski or snowboard, and they are all really nice people. To me, I feel like that in order to be a student here on campus you have to be nice, and therefore everyone is nice to you.

Although Westminster has its fair share of people that are super interested in snow sports "snow bros", the students definitely know how to get work done. Westminster attempts to put a large focus on environmental consciousness and being the best inhabitants we can be to this planet, but that is not the schools only focus. we strive to lesson our carbon footprint, but also learn and focus on countless other beneficial topics.

Arthur

Most of us are not rich because we got large scholarships to this school. Since we are paying more for college, we care more and spend more time on our scholarly work.

Erin

Yes and No. Some are liberal but there are also a lot of conservatives as well.

Jesse

Sometimes. There is alot of highschool drama between the groups

Jesse

Partially. There are very intelligent people at Westminster, and very wealthy people, but it's not as much as people might think. There are also a very large amount of "Snow Bros" as well as athletes, particularly the lacrosse players, who goof off most the time, distract in classrooms, and don't do any work that most people wouldn't think of before going to Westminster

Jordan

Mostly just the skiing and snowboarding

Jesse

I don't think so. We're really academically driven here and while people do party I don't think it's anymore than any other college of our size. We also don't have a greek system to perpetuate that sort of behavior.

Kelsey

Not really. Campus is really diverse.

Jesse

These are fairly true assessments, but from what I have seen, everyone works hard to do what they need to for their classes so that they can learn more and feel accomplished. Very few people are at this school to coast by and party all the time.
