Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The majority of students at SLU are white, middle-class Americans. There is also a large percentage of students from the Carribean islands, mostly due to the strong recruiting efforts of the school there. There is not a whole lot of noise from individual minority clubs. You may see some outside the cafeteria raising money for a cause or have a stand set up at some sort of event, but other than that, minority clubs are pretty quiet.

The student body, as well as the University's core values, are supportive of all sexual orientations, despite the school's strong Catholic ties. Yet the gay and lesbian communities within the student body do not have an extremely noticeable presence. Any gay and lesbian students at the college tend to fit in fine with the rest of the student body, so it is hard to see any barriers. No one is segregated at Saint Leo. In truth, it’s too small of a school to get too specific about who you hang around with.

SLU Diversity

There are many different races, especially since the school has international students, on the SLU campus but there is a high percentage of Caucasian students. There are also many students of different sexual orientations, political beliefs, and religions.

The Diversity Issue

There is some diversity, but it's mostly rich, white kids from the suburbs getting out of the snow more than anything else. Sure, there are the international students, but they keep to them selves.

Sea of Diversity

Saint Leo University has a ride variety of diversity from all over the world, students and faculty are very respectful and accepting of each others ethnic background. My only negative mark about the university is that it is not very accepting of different sexual orientation.

Facts

Political Activity

Not much political activity takes place within student organizations. If anything does come up, it's most likely left-wing related. Although there are plenty of right-wing students, there has never been too much organized effort on their part.

Economic Status

You don't see too wide of a gap between students economically. Everyone pretty much falls into the middle-America category.

Most Common Religions

The University is very Catholic and follows Jesuit teachings. Other religions represent a small percentage. However, there are opportunities to experience traditions outside the Christian faith. One example is the Center for Catholic-Jewish Studies' annual Passover Seder.

Minority Clubs on Campus

There are some minority clubs on campus. They are not extremely visible, but you may see them setting up a table at an event or outside the cafeteria to raise money.
