Providence College Top Questions

NO, while there not a whole lot of racial diversity on campus, everybody is actually quite different and interested in many different things on campus, so the environment is not monotone, but rather, complementary of the different types of people on campus.

The school is thus far still predominantly white, but more and more students of different ethnicities are coming to the college. They have better scholarship programs and removed the SAT's so that students of different cultures and socioeconomic backgrounds could enter. I respect the college's attempt at diversifying. The school is not mostly rich, the scholarship programs allow many people of the middle and poor class to enter. Although there are some rich students.

It's a little preppy, but the lack of diversity is extremely accurate.

Yes, but if you look hard enough you can break free from the mold.

The student population is very homgeneous, but it is improving each year. There is a lot of drinking, but isn't there at most colleges? Many students do come from well-to-do families, but many don't. However, there is a certain pressure to have the newest phones and the designer jeans.

The stereotype is very accurate in this instance but the school is doing a lot to integrate a wider range of students with different back rounds into the school. Also, although most of us typically dress the same and come from a similar economic class, there are 4000 undergraduate students here and there are tons of different kinds of personalities. We all may look the same but there is no shortage of new experiences and people to meet here. The student body is made up of a variety of different kinds of people and it is the strongest aspect of the school in my opinion, in that all the students are extremely friendly and open minded, it makes it extremely enjoyable and easy to meet new people.

absolutely
