The University of Akron is a melting pot of race, religions, and economic status. Campus is generally accepting of all groups. Students are able to express themselves through the clothes they wear, the groups they join, and the classes they take. It would be fair to say that there are no stereotypical cliques at Akron. Financially, Akron seems to be populated my middle class students with the majority living nearby. Various programs at Akron are attended by distinct cultures but these students blend well with everyone else. For example, Akron has a superb polymer program that is demographically skewed towards Middle Eastern and Asian students.

Sarah

At The University of Akron, I see every race and ethnic group all the time. There are even a wide variety of ages that attend classes. In my opinion, there is no one way to describe the type of people because there are so many different types of people there. I do not think any one type of person would feel out of place walking around campus, attending classes, eating in the Union, studying at the library, or doing anything on campus. I do think that most of the people are from Ohio and neighboring communities of Akron. Most of the people I have talked to are from nearby, however I have also talked to people that live out of state and chose to come to Akron for college. I think in the Student Union, there are different types of groups who sit with each other to eat, but there are also groups that look like they do not have a rhyme or reason to the type of people it consists of. People wear all different types of clothing, from sweats, jeans, and t-shirts to fancy, dressing up types of clothes. I think everyone has those days where they do not want to wear anything but sweats or jeans, but people do not usually care what other people are wearing, in my opinion.

Trish

I can not think of one student who would feel out of place at my school!

Matthew

Students are very varied around campus. There are athletes, bookworms, artists, musicians, etc. You name it, you can definitely find it on campus. Everyone typically coexists very well, not much violence on campus. There's plenty of diversity between the races too, showing how varied the University of Akron students are.

Chad

So far, everybody seems to be nice, but in order to make friends, an effort needs to be made.

Rebekah

We have a really diverse student body here at Akron. Being in a sport, I'm around athletes everyday from states like Washington, New Hampshire, New York, Florida and Texas just to name a few. Other athletic teams have brought in students from Jamaica, Sweden and Germany. There's a really good mix of different cultures, socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds here.

Jeb

Students at the University of Akron are VERY diverse. No student with differing religious, racial, or social background should ever feel out of place at this school. Many students in the engineering program are foreign, as well as American. I have interacted with many of both and can say that I felt in no way awkward or threatened and am a better person from knowing these people. Many of you will make your first group of friends in the dorm and that group will most likely stick together through your college career. Those people may include every type pf personalty on the planet!

Kathleen

University of Akron Students are well rounded, hard working, determined individuals.

Joshua

My classmates and I all share the same goal which is to learn as much as possible. We all expect the same from our teachers. We expect that our teachers hold a certain level of respect for us as students and can teach us as much as possible in the time allotted to us during the semester. When I look around in the classroom, I see a diverse group of people: old and young, different races, and coming from different backgrounds. Hopefully when we all leave college, we will all lead successful lives and have much success in our careers.

Charisse

My classmates are very younger than myself. Actually, they are my childrens age . That would put them in the age of twenty something. They are very intelligent for their age and somewhat focus. I find that most of them value education more than my generation did in the eighties. Back when I was in school the military was everyones primary focuse as well as starting a family. No one was as focus on education in my ethic background generation as the young adults are today. So with that being said, I would say my classmates know what they want.
