Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Diversity is present in the form of personalities, but not in culture. Students are mostly Caucasian with some sort of Christian background. The school is Methodist affiliated, but there are other religious groups present, as well. The main reason why there is not that much diversity is not because diversity is not promoted, but rather that there are not enough groups to encourage growth in this area. The multicultural club is an organization that allows people who are interested in other cultures to come together. However, they do not create much awareness.

Because Florida Southern is a private college, tuition is more expensive than public or community colleges. As such, the economic statuses of the students differ. There are those students that are well-to-do, then there are some that require financial aid. This does not create a gap among the students, though. The two different economic statuses of the students are swept aside by the fact that everyone is attending the same college to receive a higher education. Students are very tolerant of people, thoughts, and ideas that are different from their own. In this way, Florida Southern doesn't create cliques. Everyone is accepted. This could be because of the small size of the student body.

Many Different Backgrounds

Our school isn't diverse in race as much as it diverse in economic background.

Multiculturalism

Multiculturalism; the appreciation, acceptance or promotion of multiple cultures, applied to the demographic make-up of a specific place, usually at the organizational level, e.g. schools.

Florida Southern College is very diverse. Ranging from all races from all over the country to all of the foreign students accepted annually, diversity is seen all over campus.

Not to say that they don't remain in "cliques" because some do. However the acceptance of race, gender, and sexuality don't seem to be an issue and everyone can find their own place.

There could be more integration of cultures and acceptance of different lifestyles displayed throughout the campus like Mixers etc.
