The students here are for the most part very active around the school and have a lot of school pride and spirit.

Student body isn't bad in fact at times t is very enjoyable to be PC student, enjoying all this student body has to offer. However the only reserve is that you will find that you could have the similar interaction with many students acting the same. People here do come from very similar backgrounds and this school seems to like that. One must look deeper to find individuality and sometimes you'll find it in the most unexpected places. If you stereotype someone at PC, that you have automatically cast them out and will have a hard time finding friends and deeper relationships.

The student body is not diverse at all. The athletes are mainly the only minorities on campus, and they stick together. Students at PC stick to who they most resemble, the preppy girls with the pearl earrings and J.crew clothes stick together. MOst students are Catholic, if not Christian.

It is one of the least diverse colleges in the country....enough said. They are trying to diversify the school but by doing so more qualified students intelligence wise are being turned away.

The student body is mostly white catholics coming from middle to upper class familiar. Minorities, or inner city kids might feel out of place at PC at first. Personally I came from the city, and had a tough time adapting the first semester but once you comfortable it will be the time of your life. Most of the kids wont talk about acedemics all the time, most conversation ahs to do with partying or socializing.

Very low diversity with regards to race, religion, socio-economic, and LGBT. Most look fresh off the pages of Ralph Lauren. Most students rock the popped collar and NorthFact. Because most are the same, everyone gets along real well. This is not to say however that minorities are not accepted. All I know expressed initial hesitation but have come to love their experience. A lot of students are from New England and NY/NJ, but also a lot from West Coast, not much in between though. Most have decent amount of money. We get labelled often as apathetic, but I've found that to be not true, just not as crazy as our neighbors in the city at Brown University.

PC's student body is made up of white, Irish-Catholic, Middle-Class people with nice cars and all the designer clothing. Once you get to know them, they are not half bad, but they are very intimidating at first. Any one with a different racial/ethnic background would feel out of place. Anyone who is larger that a size 4 would feel out of place at this school. Anyone who does not wear J. Crew and American Eagle would feel out of place at this school. Anyone who does not drink under the age of 21 would feel out of place.
