Diversity

Overall Belmont's student population is pretty diverse. It's heavily populated with music students, but that might be because I mostly associate with music students and have all my classes with them. Regardless of the reason, I'm not complaining. There are a lot of hipsters on campus. Fewer this year than last. Student dating is very common. There's quite a bit of diversity in how students dress and spend their leisure time. Belmont is a very social campus. I've also seen an increase in racial diversity within the last year which has been nice.

Too Little Too Late

I don't have a car here but most of my friends do and parking is a joke. They continue to build new parking garages and dorms but they're increasing enrollment much too quickly to be providing the necessary accommodations. Weekends are the best time to find a parking spot because a lot of kids with cars don't hang around on campus. But during the week? Good luck. Finding a good parking spot is like finding a winning lottery ticket. You don't need to have a car to get around on campus. It's exceedingly helpful though to know people with cars to get around the city. Also it's a matter of personal convenience.
