Diversity Grades:
College Prowler Take
Harvard undergraduates thrive on diversity because it presents alternate approaches and opinions on topics ranging from politics and religion to culture and sexuality. Harvard students tend to be among the most open-minded in higher education. Students of all races, backgrounds, and beliefs will find a forum in which they can express and discuss their opinions. Despite the wealth of diversity, some students do complain that most of the undergraduates come from a very narrow socioeconomic bracket. Students hail from across the globe, and though this facilitates expression and individuality, it often fuels controversies that captivate the entire student body (check out www.thecrimson.com for recent controversies and debates across campus). If diversity is a must, then Harvard is certainly the right fit, but for close-minded souls, culture shock will certainly await you around every corner here.

The people here are amazing. You won’t find a more diverse student population. There is no real majority at Harvard—nearly everyone is a minority, whether it be by race or religion. |

‘Diverse’ is an understatement....
‘Diverse’ is an understatement. Ethnically, racially, geographically, and financially, Harvard is possibly the most diverse college community in the world. Sometimes it’s almost eerie, because at Harvard, every type of person is represented, and then people return home and see just how close-minded the rest of society can be sometimes. |

Campus is very diverse. Harvard accepts kids from all 50 states, lots of foreign countries, and from a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds. We have every kind of person represented here. |

The campus is incredibly diverse in more ways than just race. One night, on my way to a party, I found out that a guy I was walking with was previously in the circus. We passed a piano and learned that another guy was a concert pianist. Then another got drunk and started speaking Hindi. You never know who you’re gonna meet. |

The campus is ridiculously diverse. Not to mention, every ethnic group and religious group. makes themselves known and active. |
FactsEconomic Status
The economic status of Harvard students ranges the entire spectrum. Some students work their way through school, while others never worry about finances. Most students come from upper-middle-class homes.
Gay Pride
Harvard is tolerant of homosexuality, and the Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian, Transgender and Supporters Allliance (BGLTSA) is constantly rallying to increase tolerance for homosexuality on campus.
Minority Clubs
Undergraduate minority students have the opportunity to join many clubs and organizations that are focused on improving the status of and fostering community among minority students on campus. Most notable are the Black Students Association (BSA) and the BGLTSA.
Most Common Religions
Harvard is certainly a secular University in which no one religion dominates the University. Christianity and Judaism appear to be the most represented religions. Religiously focused organizations have very little visibility on campus.
Political Activity
Harvard possesses a largely liberal political base, but conservative political groups do make their presence felt. Nearly every student has an informed opinion, and the Institute of Politics provides an excellent forum for discussion and debate of current political topics.
