There are a wide variety of students. Different cultures different states but all seem to get along well.
My classmates have one goal in mind and that is to be successful in their graduating years by helping others. My classmates will work hard for one another because they understand that the other classmates will work hard as well and this makes nobody left out in being successful. All of my classmates take on an equal amount of load of work to do and space each task out to be able to retrieve and spit out information when it comes to presentations, projects, or even papers. There are positive vibes in knowing that the goal will be accomplished.
They are overly personable and are absolutely there to help, as they are in the same situation as anyone else and making friends has been easier than I ever imagined.
In one sentence, I would describe my classmates as both polite and motivated.
My classmates are ambitious, motivated and college ready, they understand what they have to do to succeed at the college level. They prepare for college as if they are preparig for their career. There is a big infernece put on punctuality and the ability to do the work at a college level at the University of Louisville. I believe my classmates fulfill all of their duties as a student while managing their time accordingly, they also balance a job, and (or) a sports program.
My classmates are all very friendly and outgoing. There's always philantropic events going on around campus and everyone finds a way to help others.
There is a greater mix of students with some real world experience at the school because it is a commuter school.
Diverse.
U of L is a very cultural diverse school so you get to see a little bit of everything. Because everyone is so different, I think it would be hard to feel out of place. Most students show up to class is sweatpants but that might just be because I am a sport administration major. Most of the students are from Louisville, but the athletes come from all over.
We have basically every type of student here at UofL. Any type of hobby, any type of extracurricular, and people fit that. You can also find all types of ethnicities and international students.
We have a wide array of students on campus. There are organizations for people from all walks of life. I don't think anyone would feel out of place at the University of Louisville. No matter what you're like, you will find others who are the same as you. Most of the students are from Kentucky, but you'll find many international students and others from across the USA.
There are all different types of students at UofL, so it is impossible to describe them all. I have met so many awesome people from all over the world. Going to such a diverse school has really broadened my horizons about the world and made me more cultured. Nobody should ever feel out of place here. There are so many opportunities for all different types of people with all different interests.
My experience with diversity on campus has been very pleasant. There are plenty of groups for all kinds of students. There are often "programs" throughout campus that are put on the raise awareness for different situations. I have attended many programs about race, gender, economic statuses, etc. Additionally, most of the teachers I have had have been zero tolerance on negative word choices. Personally, I am an advocate for Spread the Word to End the Word (check it out!). I can truly and honestly say that I do not think anyone would feel out of place at this school as long as they are willing to take a few steps outside their comfort zone to find others with similar interests, ambitions, or desires. I repeat, you MUST be willing to at least make an effort. I can't guarantee someone would just walk up to you because you look like someone they want to get to know (but it has happened on occasion). What you wear to class depends on your major, really. Some majors require you to dress up for more presentations than others. On the regular, though, you can find me in leggings or yoga pants and boots. No doubt that we are a leggings and sweat pants campus (and there's no shame in that). Anything beyond getting out of bed and going to class seems to be extraordinary in college anyway. Absolutely different types of students interact. But as anyone with a sense of interpersonal relations would know, you have to be open and willing to break some barriers. People typically stay with what's comfortable. At a bigger school you have to be able to make the uncomfortable comfortable sometimes. If there were only four tables in any one of the lunchrooms, it would be very hard to describe who's sitting where. Unless someone is wearing something that distinguishes them as some type of label, I would not even give a second glance. We have multiple "restaurants" on campus as well as fast food options, a mini grocery market, and a dine-in buffet option. Who you see depends on where you go. As stated before, something like 70{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the student popluation is from the Louisville/Jefferson area. I have come in contact with all socio-economic statuses. From the individual who has a Range Rover to someone getting by on government grants and a few credits at a time. No one really boasts one way or another of their financial background, so unless someone offers up their experience in a class or happens to confide in you, you often do not know. There are political activists as well as religious activists on campus, but unless you want to pay attention to them, it does not really affect the day-to-day.
There is a Cultural Center, LGBT center, and two religious buildings on campus to suit every student's needs. The LGBT group works with Baptist Campus Ministries to create a harmonious campus, and the majority of groups don't fight. A very conservative student would feel out of place on campus, because we have every stereotype you can think of on campus...you'll see gay couples walking around, goth kids, strange hair colors, non-traditional students, and so on. If you are really against liberal thinking and change, you probably wouldn't like what you see walking around. The only noticeable separation is Greek life students versus non-Greek students. Greek life sits on one side of the cafeteria, and non Greek students sit on the other. Greek students are really involved on campus, and non Greek students who aren't involved sometimes feel a little left out. Most of the students are from Louisville, and commute or leave in their own apartment near campus, but there is a Commuter Registered Student Organization.
There is a wide range of personality types and backgrounds at this school. The only students you don't see a lot of are those from a low socioeconomic background. There is a community college nearby that does a good job of recruiting at risk students for a very low cost. The athletes tend to be very clicky, but other than that I was able to make friends with everyone.
This is a commuter school in an urban setting. We've got all kinds of students here. We have students from every state in the U.S. and students from nearly 100 countries around the world. There's no prevalent financial background here, we're a healthy mix of it all. Most students wear jeans and a t-shirt or a hoodie to class, with the occasional sharp-dressed guy/gal and the occasional pajama-clad student here or there. We have some politicians here, the student government is quite active. Just last week there was a rally to protest the tuition hike (it was quite the sight!). Student elections are pretty big here, and I'm not just talking about voting for Homecoming King. A lot of students work nights at UPS to pay their way through school, and quite a bit are here on some sort of scholarship. Of course, we have some students here up to their eyeballs in debt, silently working hard to be able to pay off their student loans one day. No stereotypes here, we're all students and we come from all walks of life.

My classmates consist of people from varying backgrounds, ethnic groups, and social classes, all seeking to gain a beneficial education while developing lasts relationships with professors and peers alike.
Each and every person here at the University has there own background, therefore making each person different from the next. With Louisville being such a big campus most students are very friendly and out-going, with something unique to be taken in from each and every person. Everyone is friends with everyone here, it just takes a little effort to get to know one another at first.
Intelligent.
My classmates are diverse individuals from many different parts of the world.
Very diverse in regards to religion, ethnicities, sexual orientation, social-economic groups, and overall personalities (it makes campus a very interesting place!).
Many of them work hard to make sure they earn good grades, however, some of them spend the entire class playing World of Warcraft or on facebook. Often I find it distracting, but oh well, not every class can be perfect. I still enjoy working with the rest of the people, who really work hard and seem to enjoy the classes - except for the ones that are a part of the required classes, which people take just because they have to. Majority of them still strive to get good grades in those classes, though.
My classmates have absolutely helped me get through so far. Unfortunately the few I have gotten close to are graduating so hopefully I will meet others that will help me finish the process.
My classmates are typically very focused and study alot, we rarely talk however they are helpful in case we miss classes etc.

They are very diverse
Most often, the classes that I have enrolled in have had students that were attentive and focused. They seemed to be interested in the class material and the class discussion.
I usually don't talk to any of my class mates so I really don't know. We all keep to ourselves unless we have a question here or there about an assignment.
My classmates are very passionate, inspired people who are wanting to better the world.
Young.
My classmates vary greatly. Because the university that I attend is a public university on an urban campus there are all types of students. We have a lot of non traditional students and also commuter students. Most classmates are nice but some do seem distant. Some seem that they are just in the class but not really wanting to be active and some seem stubborn and not open to new ideas. I have mised feelings about my classmates.
Depending on the student, there are some that are useful and some that you wonder how the university allowed someone like this into their school.
Most teachers here are more into hearing the sounds of their own voices than trying to create an engaging class that makes students want to come to class everyday..
Mostly middle class commuters
My classmates are all extremely intelligent and great people to be around. I wouldn't trade them for another group of friends anywhere.
My classmates are funny, diverse and eager to learn...
