They are friendly and outgoing and everyone seems to want to make more friends or at least lend a helping hand where needed.

The vast majority of students are fair, tolerant, and open-minded. Those who aren't are definitely in the minority; any time someone has put forth a prejudiced or stereotypical comment, it is firmly and actively discounted and not tolerated---not only by members of the slighted group, but by others as well. Some students are politically active; some are not. Most people have their own system of beliefs, and many are working to find support for their beliefs. Most people dress pretty casually, but a sizable minority dress up. It's hard to tell the 'prevalent' financial background.

As mentioned before, students at Loyola are genuinely diverse. There are normal "cliques" as one would say, but they aren't isolated groups of the same people. Every group has its diversity in and of itself. Students at Loyola are (for the most part) accepting of who a person is, regardless of their race, religion, sexuality, or financial status. People are "judged" on who they are as people, not as robots. The majority of the students at Loyola are from Illinois, believe it or not. There are others, like myself, who are from out of state. There are also students who hail from foreign countries.
