All types of religions, economic groups, races, nationalities, and political leanings can be found on campus. There does seem to be a greater majority, though, of Christians, wealthier students, and white students. This is by no means a large or extremely obvious majority. In my opinion, the student body has a pretty strong feeling of unity despite these differences and imbalances. You can really find all types of students on this campus. Some people dress up for class everyday, so if this interests you, you certainly wont be out of place. Most people don't come to class in complete pajamas, but sweats and athletic wear are extremely common. Ethnic/religious attire is a pretty common sight as well. A majority of the students seem to be from Illinois. Liberals, conservatives, centrists, and libertarians are very equally represented, but the conservative crowd is the most active on campus.

Be sure to study hard and don't get so involved in campus life that you do not do well academically. You need to be able to guide your own education so understand the graduation requirements and be actively involved in your course selection. If you have a goal to complete your undergraduate degree in four years to will need to think outside of the box to get all your coursework done. Especially important if you have a major and a minor or two.
