There's a group for everyone at UConn. I can't think of one specific group that would feel out of place, although the student body is mostly White, middle class/upper class, and from CT. There are cultural centers for minority groups to make it easier to meet people as well. There's a Puerto Rican/Latino center, African American center, Asian American center, Rainbow Center, and Women's center. There are a lot of jock type guys and sorority type girls, but there's also a ton of people from every group you could think of.

The student body here is huge and diverse. I think it's pretty safe to say if you can name it, we've got at least one person that way here. Most students are from Connecticut, though there are a lot of students from out-of-state (even country) if only by virtue of the fact that there are SO many students. I think it's impossible to feel out of place-- there's a place for everyone. I want to talk about prominent financial backgrounds, political stances, or even what people wear but honestly there is so much diversity here I can't even begin to try.

The students from this school are froma ll around the world and there are so many cultural centers and clubs that caters to everybody. There is absolutely no one that will feel out of place at Uconn. It is very diverse. The most beautiful thing is that students of different back grounds and groups do interact which each other

The campus is totally diverse. You will see people from all different religious, cultural, and sexual backgrounds all living and working together seamlessly. I have never had an experience on this campus where someone was chastised because their backgrounds or beliefs.
While there are a lot of students from CT, it is common to meet a lot of people from around New England and sometimes from across the country (however, that is less frequent). UConn students are typical college kids, wearing uggs, northfaces, jeans, sweats, basically the typical clothes of a college kid. It is rare to go through the day without seeing someone wearing some sort of UConn apparel or a UConn national championship snapback.

I would say UConn is very diverse. The Rainbow Center promotes the LGBT scene quite prominently. We have different racial groups, like Asian and African American interest sororities and fraternities, and cultural centers. Club Sports and student volunteer organizations and interest groups are very popular on campus. UConn offers a great deal of religious variety in the services it offers. I think that only a real loner, city kid would feel out of place here. Most students wear jeans or comfortable clothes; people do not seem like they spend forever to get ready every single day. Dining hall groups vary, as we have seven on campus. Often, athletes sit together, and friends make up the other tables. Most students are from CT, however there are alot of students from NY, NJ, and MA. It seems that all financial backgrounds are represented, with the middle class most popularly. I would say that Storrs is moderately politically active, slightly liberally.

There are all sorts of students at this school! I can not think of one type of person UConn would not have. There are people from all races, social classes, etc. Many people are from Connecticut, but I meet many people that are not. Being from Connecticut, I like that I can still see my friends during breaks because they live close, so don't think of that as a downfall.

Not everyone here is as friendly as I would like
