Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

If you’re looking for a mosaic of racial diversity, religious faiths, sexual orientations, and political beliefs, you’ve got the wrong school. Over 50 percent of the student body comes from Pennsylvania, and an overwhelming majority comes from white, middle-class homes.

The handful of African Americans don’t even account for one percent of the student body. Some students express dismay over the lack of diversity, and by all indications, accept and desire greater racial diversity. If the membership numbers of the College Democrats Club are any indication, Grove City College does not boast much political diversity either. However, a vocal group of Libertarians keeps up lively discussions with the conservative Republican majority.

Not So Diverse

There is very little diversity at Grove City. Mostly everyone is white, thin, in an average to higher income family, and there are many homeschoolers too. Although there is little diversity, mostly everyone gets along well, but anyone who does not fit the norm may stand out.

Historically, the campus is extremely conservative. Although the students are not particularly active in politics, they are all aware of them. Although there is a small libertarian following in the college and a minority of liberal supporters, generally the campus is conservative Republican.
