The students of Agnes Scott are in one word... diverse! No one is the same and we pride ourselves on that. Upon coming to Agnes I would have never imagined how many amazing women I would meet. The women I am lucky enough to be surround by everyday share common goals with me yet are all unique in their own ways. Each lady on campus brings a different perspective to what it means to be a Scottie. I have yet to meet a young women who can't find the right place for her on this campus. The campus community is so welcoming to everyone that it meets that it is mind blowing. Though Agnes is no utopia of red roses and tulips, it is definitely a place that cultivates and firmly believes in women being themselves and challenging the norm.

The students at Agnes are so diverse. We have students from all over the world with a variety of backgrounds, political views, sexual orientation and religious views. I love being able to head down to the dining hall and have conversations with a girl from Vietnam and another from Texas.

The diversity at Agnes Scott is best described as organic. It is so natural and it works so well that it manages to be incredibly important without being forced in any way. The racial diversity and the acceptance of different sexual identities and orientations and the sheer spread of religions and hometowns is phenomenal for a school of its size. It is honestly something that you can’t understand until you experience and feel the acceptance that flourishes on our campus.
A lot of students are from Georgia, and most are from the South. The regional differences between students play no apparent role in defining social groups as far as I can tell. Everyone is friends with everyone, as cheesy as it sounds. Additionally, the socio-economic backgrounds of students vary greatly. Because the school is so generous with financial aid and the Agnes Solution, it prevents the big price tag from creating an elitist environment. When I was visiting Agnes something I really loved was how everyone was from somewhere different, understood life in their own unique way, and brought with them their own flare from their background. It makes the small campus feel as diverse and interesting as the real world. I know that experience working in that sort of educational environment will benefit me later on in graduate school, in the workplace, and in life in general.

They are charasmatic, intelligent and involved.
Morghan
They are opinionated, intelligent, creative, abstract, and respectful (even if they don't always agree with you or vice versa)
Emily
A little crazy, very spirited. For the most part, they're pretty academically focused, which is a good atmosphere.
