1%Gay Pride
One student group, Rainbow Alliance, addresses gay issues. Students on campus are usually pretty accepting of the gay community.
Political Activity
College Democrats, College Republicans, and Campus Greens/Activists are all student groups on campus, so there's a place for you, regardless of your political views.
Economic Status
It's relatively high-end, considering NU is a pricey, private institution. However, 14 percent of students in the Class of 2015 were Pell Grant recipients, which is a common identifier of lower-income students. This number seems to rise yearly.
Most Common Religions
Mostly Christian, Catholic, or Jewish
Minority Clubs on Campus
Several minority clubs are active on campus, including Alianza, For Members Only (FMO), Korean American Students Association (KASA), South Asian Student Alliance, and NU Thai Club. The clubs are very active in advertising their events. There are even a few minority a cappella groups, including Brown Sugar, Treblemakers, and Quad-A.
