Describe the students at your school.

Kimber

Driven and diverse.

Lizbeth

My classmates are hardworking, determined, motivated, self-driven, friendly, and helpful.

They're are a lot of "good people" at UNCG. Most people are genuine and upbeat. We are a very accepting campus and have a lot of diversity.

Tania

My classmates for the most part are eccentric and sometimes very condescending.

Molly

My classmates are very friendly and willing to help if there are ever any problems.

Sara

At first it took me awhile to get adjusted to the school and my surroundings. But I love UNCG, its so diverse and that is what I really love about it. I has got a "chill" atmosphere, and nobody judges you really

Amanda

In bigger classes, it's hard to meet your classmates, however in smaller classes most people are warm and inviting.

Lizbeth

My classmates try their best to balance their social life and their schoolwork.

Brittany

No students would feel out of place at UNCG. All different types of students interact. I have never had a problem.

Parker

I don't believe that any student would feel out of place at UNCG. We have fraternities and sororities. We have athletic teams and clubs. Our international students always form a very close bond. Our GLBT program is very strong and supportive. Most students at UNCG are from North Carolina, but we have a large amount of students that come from outside of the state as well. UNCG is a fairly left-wing school, but all political groups on campus are strong.

Dylan

Pretty diverse student body. Not very political.

Melissa

I have not come in contact with a lot of racism and I personally have been in an inter-racial relationship the whole time I have attended UNCG. When it comes to class attire, people wear anything, and i mean anything! You will have students in pj pants and a sweatshirt to a nice dress. You can wear anything you want and no one cares. I would say most students at our school are very liberal, we are not a conservative school in no means.

Amanda

I really like that UNCG is a socially-active campus. Students care about world issues: such as voting, the environment, the war in the Sudan, and other human rights conflicts. UNCG is also a campus that believes in Service. “Service” is UNCG's motto, and I feel that students really believe in helping people and they believe that normal people can make a change in the world. I have been able to help my community through programs that UNCG offers, and I think that I am a better person because I came to UNCG.

Hunter

UNCG is quite a diverse environment compared to many other campuses. Most of the students come from middle-income families who seem down-to-earthand and are in-state.It is a very liberal atmosphere with extremes to both sides.

Heather

liberal college, for the most part. sometimes there will be an angry guy yelling about how you're a slut and going to hell, but most people ignore him.

Shannon

As previously stated, there is racial tension in Greensboro, and at UNCG...plus there are a lot of "weird people" who congregate together. The frat/sorority people hang together, the black people hang together, the music ppl hang together, the theather ppl, the dance ppl, and the sports players hang together. There is some mixing, but on the whole not much. Most of uncg students are from NC, fewer are out-of-state. A lot of ppl are democrat. They have been trying to get everyone registered to vote on campus lately...and then to get you to vote for Obama. Its kinda annoying. I think though, most students aren't very politically aware, or at least the ones I know LOL.

Andrew

LGBT is very big at UNCG little relgious stuff. finances are medium.

Amber

There are literally all different types of people. You don't feel out of place no matter who you are. There are also different clubs to be involved in whether you want to be around others like you or get to know new types of people. UNCG students are from all over. That's probably why they all seem so different, even finanially. Some may be on scholarship, while others paying out of state tuition and you would never know one's status. You can really be yourself here. In high school, you may have felt you had to dress a different way, but here it doesn't matter, b/c more than likely you wont see a lot of people again and the ones who you will wont judge you. UNCG is a very comforting campus.

Ainsley

One word can wrap that up: Diverse

Ryan

The student body as a whole is VERY diverse. As a campus we are big on DIVERSITY and UNCG has promoted that aspect.

Hillary

Our campus is very diverse. We have one of the best study abroad programs in the south east, which also means that students study abroad here. There are all different types of people here from different ethnicities, religions, financial backgrounds, etc., but I don't feel like our campus is "segregated." I wouldn't feel awkward walking up to anyone on this campus and speaking to them. We wear whatever we feel like putting on in the morning. I know I enjoy sweatpants and a hoodie a little too often, but there are people who get dressed up every day, and lots of people who just wear normal clothes.

emily

there is a wide diversity among students on campus in all aspects. i dont think any type of student would really feel out of place. some students get really dressed up for class every day, while others look like they just rolled out of bed. different types of students interact somewhat. of the four tables, one would be athletes, one would be a large rowdy group, one would be quieter maybe sorority girls, and the other would be music people. i think a lot of students are politically aware, but im not one of them and i dont pay attention to the ones who are.

Josh

The student body is somewhat split but within each subcategory is very unified. Those that want to be involved within things with athletics are all very close, others who want to be involved in greek life are very close, and so on. The school is very laid back and relaxed for the most part and there is no tension from one group to another.

Court

religious groups i only see every once in a while. someone who is not sociable will feel out of place because people here get in groupies and dont invite people anywhere very easily. most people wear jeans or sweatpants. i have never eaten in the dining hall but i would guess, a rugby table, athletic table, sorority table, and a nobody table. most students are from north carolina and a lot of peopl from new jersey and up north. most people that i hang out with are financially stable. most people are aware of their surroundings, definenetly more left, no people talk about how drunk they were the night before.

Billi

Nowadays students dont care how they look when coming to class. The norm is sweatpants, t-shirt, and comfortable shoes. there is no one who will step on campus and not feel comfortable in terms of meeting people and starting relationship with others.

Tim

predominately and overwhelming democratic

Rachel

Students at UNCG are very diverse and for the most part intermingle. I have met people from all walks of life and who are interested in all different things.
