There is a very wide variety of students at Iowa State. There is always a place for everyone. We have several different races here on campus, although I feel like they are pretty separate from each other due to personal comfort. I would say a lot of people are pretty to the right on the political spectrum but that does not dominate the community. Many students have a lot of different goals and the school makes it pretty easy to find people like you.

ISU is one of the most diverse schools in the U.S. Our enrollment level went up so much this semester not only bringing in a huge number of freshman and transfer students but more diversity as well. I like the fact that there are so many different clubs and organizations here on campus that allow all diverse people to find a place where they feel comfortable, safe, and at home when they are struggling financially or academically. I feel with so much diversity no one would feel out of place on this campus. When it comes to financial background I would have to say it is hard to identify who is from a low SES or from a high SES because we all do not mind wearing our old pajamas to class early in the morning.
