Lots of Whites and Asians

People from the University of Chicago come from a variety of countries, cultures, races/ethnic origins, ideologies and socio-economic backgrounds. Although, a majority of the school is comprised primarily of white and Asian students (a large part of the international students are from Asian as well). So diversity is there, just not quite A+ level.

You Are Responsible for Yourself

They will punish you of course if you are doing something horrendously dangerous or illegal, but the general policy on things like drinking is lax. Any form of cheating though is taken very seriously, and even small mistakes can cost you your degree.
