Acceptance

diverse sexuality is readily embraced and not frowned upon at AU.

A True Melting Pot

As former President of the Black Student Alliance, I know that AU is working to increase the amount of domestic minorities at AU. Minority students can find comfort in the Multicultural Affairs Office which serves as a resource to minority and first-generation college students. AU is fill of international diversity which makes AU what it is. AU is extremely accepting to the GLBTQ community and we have a GLBTA resource center. In regards to economic background, everyone comes from a different one and you aren't judged based on where you come from. People accept you for who you are.

AU also has Kay Spiritual Life Center which offers over 25 different religions and if they don't offer a service for your religion, they will bring in someone so that you can worship. We have prayer rooms for all religions as well.

Politically, AU is pretty liberal but we are open to and appreciate political diversity.

Diversity

AU students generally like to think of themselves as accepting of others and willing to learn about cultures and societies that are unknown to them. Usually this does happen, however if you're not from New Jersey/New York or an SIS major that makes you diverse.
