I enjoy being friends/part of groups at OWU that are based on color or sexuality or similar issues. Someone who is very prejudice would feel out of place at OWU. Most students tend to look nice for classes, jeans and a nice shirt. Many different types of students interact because of classes or other activities. One table would be the pakistanis, another would be a sorority, a third would be a fraternity with a few girls, and a forth would be randomly mixed students. Most students at OWU are from ohio, but there are definitely students from all over the world at OWU. It is normally middle class families, with students receiving a lot of financial aid. Students are very politically aware and active of the current elections. We are predominantly democratic. We rarely talk about how much we will earn in the future.

OWU is a nice school with nice people. Unfortunately, although there is a wide variety of people, most stick with the culture/people they are comfortable with. The campus can be very clique-ish. Certainly I have met a variety of people but you have to make an effort to meet them. You have to be willing to step outside what you know to truly enjoy the diversity of OWU. It is very easy to just stick with the types of people you know and are comfortable with but I think this undermines the great eye-opening experience that college here can be. There is something for everyone at OWU. I have heard people complain about not being able to get people involved in their or their clubs activities but it is not because of a lack of interest. Everyone is already so involved in clubs, sports, music groups, academics, that it is hard for them to find time to participate! No matter what you like, I can pretty guarantee there will be something you can find here to interest you. And in the process you will meet people who will be your friends.

Where are most OWU students from? Well, about half the student population comes from various parts of Ohio. The rest is a mix of U.S. and International students with the latter comprising of about 12{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c}. What kind of student would feel out of place at OWU? A student who disagrees with every little aspect of OWU or a person who is constantly homesick and stays in his/her room. What do most students wear to class? Unlike my high school, OWU is definitely not a fashion show. Some students are preppy and others- not so much. I have seen students in their night clothes with their books running to class. Most of the time, it is non-brand named clothing.

theres a good amount of hippie art kids, and cool east coast kids, lax kids, i dunno ohio kids are ok but alot are kind of are whack but really the ones who like the buckeyes, fuck the bucks they should have gone to ohio state, there is little to no political involvement and except from stuyvesant hall theres no college like community love or whatever

I don't think there is anyone who wouldn't be able to be comfortable at OWU. The students I know fully run the gamut in racial, socioeconomic, political, religious, and sexual categories. It opened my eyes to types of people I had never met before, and I'm so glad for that out of classroom experience. Get involved with groups you never thought you would, it will really help you become a more well-rounded person. Step outside of your comfort zone from the beginning and embrace all the opportunities available to you.
