The Students

Students from all walks of life are on campus at any given time. Old, young, black, white, whatever. There seems to be plenty of different races (I'm white), but I have heard the opposite from some African-American classmates. I'm not sure. Chances are though, you can find someone with similarities to you in personality, appearance, or clothing style just a few steps away.
