Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

As NC State is a land-grant institution, diversity is a top priority of the University. Alexander serves as the international dormitory for all students who come to NCSU to study abroad. There are activities that occur across campus promoting different ethnicities. Sometimes, the events are dinners, like the ones the Asian clubs hold; other times, it is rooted a little more deeply in their culture. For instance, there has been a Turkish Night, where they hold an assembly in the Talley Student Center and do a variety of performances, like cultural dances.

It is clear that NC State is making a conscious effort to increase diversity. This is even seen in the gap closure between the male-to-female ratio around the campus. There is, however, not as much diversity as there could be. Looking at the statistics above, it is clear that the white population still dominates the campus, taking up more than 80 percent of the student body.

A Huge Melting Pot

NCSU has a huge range of different types of people, and it doesn't just stop at race. While we have many races, we also have many religions, beliefs, sexualities, political views, and personalities at NCSU.

Very Diverse and Accepting

Every campus has that group of students who hates everyone and isn't afraid to show that, but for the most part here at State everyone is very friendly and accepting to all genders and races.
