Westminster College-Salt Lake City Top Questions

I think Westminster is one of the most inclusive campuses in the Intermountain West. On campus politics probably leans more to the left when it comes to socially liberal issues because so many of us who are viewed as non-conformists to the local majority feel comfortable and welcome here. We also have a significant number of LDS members on campus because so many of our programs are held in high regard. I feel Westminster could do more to bring in students from marginalized backgrounds, but I do feel that if the campus became more representative of current demographics, everyone would feel welcome. Westminster does bring in a lot of winter sport enthusiasts due to its Winter at Westminster program. The college always has a handful of Olympic hopefuls as students.

I think it depends on who you talk to at Westminster. Certainly some of the students fall under these stereotypes, but it's incorrect to stereotype all Westminster students under these two stereotypes.

Neither stereotype is accurate. There are some "snowbros", but they make a very small minority. And over all, I would say that Westminster students are pretty conservative compared to students at other campuses.

For the most part yes.

oh yeah

of course

None of these are accurate. Westminster is a Liberal Arts College. Most of the students are laid back and just go with the flow. WIth the many scholarships Westminster College offers to new and transfer students, no student pays full tuition costs. When it comes to applying to the school, almost anyone can get in. Most people are afraid to apply because of the "sticker price"

WE are the only wet campus in the state of Utah and we do a lot of community and envioment service.

The partying hard stereotype is accurate, but even though tuition is steep there are so many scholarships that not everyone here is rich or has rich parents that are paying for college. Some of us are attending on our own merits.

Somewhat. There are those kids but a lot of others too,
