Campus Life
The dorms at Rhodes College are very comfortable and spacious. Each dorm has at least one stained glass window that opens to catch a breeze. There are sinks in most rooms and kitchens in some quads. Laundry is free to students living on campus and so is wifi on the entire campus. The food is pretty average compared to other schools, although two cafeteria choices is nice for a small school like this. My only concerns are that the school is trying to cram as many people as possible into the current buildings. They want to increase the number of students on campus, which means that more and more common rooms are disappearing and being converted into more dorm rooms. They are almost finished building a large three story residence hall, which should take some of the stress of the rest of the buildings. I do enjoy the fact that upperclassmen get first choice on living arrangements for the upcoming year.

Diversity
The diversity at Rhodes College is just about what you would accept it to be. Sure, there are a number of different ethnicities on campus, but for the most part, it's upper class white kids. Nothing against the college, but the cost alone scares a lot of people away. However, being a lower middle class white student, I was actually attracted to the school because of the fact that for a one of the best southern, private liberal arts colleges, Rhodes wasn't made up entirely of rich kids and that appealed to me very much.

Parking, a Plus
Rhodes shines when it comes to parking your car. You do not have to worry about your car being damaged or stolen on this campus. The entire campus is gated and under surveillance with campus safety officers patrolling the campus at all times. There are plenty of places to park if you're a resident. Freshmen are confined to one lot, which works well because it keeps most of the other lots clear. Parking gets a little tight during the daytime, but if you live on campus and use your car very little, it's not such a terrible problem.
