For Utah, Westminster is a very diverse campus. Yes, it's true that more than half the student body is Caucasian. But we have a wide range of backgrounds and beliefs to draw from. As a whole, I'd say Westminster is the most progressive campus when it comes to acceptance and tolerance. We are very accepting of our LGBT students, and religious tolerance is generally very open-minded. Some of the teacher's are a little biased against religion in general and Mormons in particular, but that always comes out in discussions and personal philosophies, NOT discrimination against the students. And for non-mainstream religions, there is a very large level of tolerance. I have met students who come from a wide range of religious backgrounds, including self-proclaimed Wikkans, Pagans, Polytheists, and Aura worshippers.

The types of students at Westminster: mormons, ski bums, nerds, and asians. Everyone is very friendly.

Although Westminster lacks in diversity the school has an amazing student body. Most students take part in a club or activity on or off campus. Many students actively participate is a sport or some sort of physical activity as well.

Westminster is extremely welcoming and prides itself on its diversity. I took a Queer Theory class that was brilliant. We watched Tony Kushner's "Angels in America" and read numerous books, including Alison Bechdel's "Fun Home." Differences are encouraged and celebrated. Most of the students on campus are liberal-thinking and open-minded.

Salt Lake City is the small pocket away from conservative Utah. Westminster College seems to be one of the most concentrated areas of diversity. Can't say that it is diverse compared to where I'm from (Baltimore), but diverse compared to te rest of Utah it is. There are many snowboarders and skiers, many of which are really talented. There is a general positive atmosphere with most students.

Westminster is very accepting of different racial, socio-economic, and many other groups on campus. They encourage the students to embrace diversity. Fifty percent of the students attending Westminster are from out of state. It is a highclass private college, which offers many different opertunities for education.

There are a lot of speakers who come to our campus and speak on issues regarding, racial, religion, LGBT and SES. On campus we have a majority of racial clubs that have campus wide events.Though our school is small, most will find someone of similar interest. The dress wear on campus is like anywhere else in the US, the only difference you may see is the winter time, where lots of students are wearing ski gear. A majority of students are from Utah and Idaho. A majority of students financial background is upper-class. Students here are politically aware and active, in our dinning hall we have a free-speech board where a current event question is written and students are freely to write their opinions on the board, which gets used a lot.

Westminster is a predominantely white campus. There is some diversity, but I think a lot of that comes from International students, not ethnically diverse from the United States. I also think Westminster is predominantely middle - upper class. We are definitely considered a "rich kid school." Most students dress nicely for class. I rarely see students in class wearing their pajamas. Different types of students definitely interact with each other. I know my group of friends is extremely diverse. A lot of students here are politically aware, but I wouldn't say the majority are. A lot of students probably like to think that they are, but are really not very edjucated about politics. Overall, the student body is definitely more liberal.
