The student body at CU is one of the least diverse colleges I applied to. I love Colorado, i love Boulder, and i love the CU campus but coming from a small town to a place that is six times larger but about just as diverse is concerning to me. I feel that the studends at CU come from a very specific class of society, an upper class, white family. The student body is a more left side leaning group, which makes being anything else criticized.

Most girls wear the exact same thing to class. The CU uniform: Victoria's Secret Pink clothes, Rainbow flip flops, big sunglasses.
Kelly
Kind of clicky... but you can meet all kinds of people no matter where you go.

-Boulder does not have much diversity, but the small group that is different is very accepted. People here strive for understanding and accepted everyone no matter their race, gender, or even gender identity.

Our student body is not so political in general. Most students do not like the current administration, but republicans and liberals co-exist here as long as we don't talk about politics. Many are religious and there are many churches, and couple synagoges. I haven't seen a mosque yet, but there is a significant number of Muslim population on campus. Most of the students here are caucasian, but our school is not racially divided. Most people out of state are rich and are able to afford out-of state tuition, but from in-state various people from various backgrounds are here.

People here are definetly more liberal than conservative. Boulder is historically known as a liberal city, much different than Colorado. It has the effect of attracting young liberal college kids and actually making kids more liberal. It isn't very diverse racially, but that doesn't mean people are racist. People here are super open to everything and everyone, usually.
Alex
Most of the kids here are from Colorado or California, but you can find people from all across the country and the world.

There is not a huge amount of diversity at boulder. Most people are early 20's, white, and from middle class families. I dont know of any problems for people who do not fit this description though. Most students are from colorado or california it seems. Some students are politically active, the campus is pretty liberal. I dont hear people discussing how much they'll make, but that does not mean it doesnt happen.

There is a group of students at CU that sticks out the most to me--the girls who wear the Ugg boots, the spandex, the low-cut tight shirts, and the giant sunglasses. I think most girls either dress like that or hate girls who dress like that. I think most guys are quite impartial.

Boulder has very liberal students and people living in the city. Even though we are the "whitest" (as they say) college in the US, we have much regard for other races and we know how to be diverse and treat other people well. I have never encountered a fight or argument between races and I know all of my friends are very compassionate people. Boulder and CU tries to teach students about other cultures and others ways of life.
