Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Heterogeneity is not New College’s forte. To be fair, most of its peer institutions suffer from the same sickness. New College is a bargain for in-state students, therefore most of its populace wants to reap that advantage. Because it is a fledgling college, it hasn’t been able to garner an interstate reputation necessary to achieve optimal diversity. But one thing is for sure: this is only true if one takes a narrow conception of diversity. When it comes to sexual preference, socioeconomic status, age, intellectual interests, and personality, New College has much to offer. It is a campus full of outspoken, unique, and vivacious characters.

The student body has voiced its complaints to the administration over the lack of racial and cultural diversity, and admissions does what it can to sate the demand. But while New College itself may not be stereotypically “diverse,” the surrounding area is full of diversity.

Accepting of All Types of Diversity--Except Diversity of Opinion

Though almost completely white, New College is a very liberal place and is generally very accepting of all races, classes, religions, and sexual orientations. The students' accepting attitude is something they take pride in. However, the few conservatives I have met on campus have all felt ostracized to a degree. If you don't agree with those on campus, you won't be well-liked.

Dont Confuse Self-Righteousness With Unacceptance

not very diverse which fuels continual discussions on the topic. pretty accepting, there are all sorts of people who attend ncf and are seemingly comfortable-- although our discomfort is more often than not directly occurring because of ourselves.
