Diverse? Try Rich and Catholic.
Avoid this place if you're not Catholic. Protestants and Hebrews are constantly bashed by students, the latter sometimes to the point of making Hitler proud. Homosexuality and religions other than Roman Catholicism are looked upon as tolerated but not accepted. Being partially Jewish and closeted-bisexual, I feel constantly belittled by the rest of the student body. Lower-income students do not have too much of a problem, but the majority of the population is rich. "Race" is the only category that this place could score higher than a D in. While most of the student body is white, there are a good number of other ethnicities. Unfortunately, there is no acceptance of non-Catholic non-heterosexuals.

Boring
This campus is dead. If you go off-campus at night, you're probably going to get mugged. On campus, there are lame "parties" (weekends only) that consist of blaring crappy music while the kids get wasted. There's nothing to do.

The ugly stick came to town
There are some very attractive students here, but the vast majority are nothing to look at. It seems like nearly everyone is a stuck-up jock/prep combination, so there aren't many points to be scored for personality either. Don't come here expecting to make it with a hot guy or girl, because this is plain-ville.

Meh
Unfortunately a lot of the professors are stuck-up bigots. Some of the professors are amazing (James McKenna or Anre Venter, for example), so it's unfortunate that 40% of the instructors don't meet the same standards. I've hated most of my classes and gone through three majors because of it.
I find it hard to believe that this place is difficult to get into. I applied as a joke with a mock essay, and yet somehow I was accepted. Other students were dying to get in, yet I treated the application as a farce; look who made it in.
Some of the classes are alright, but most are mundane wastes of time. It's incredibly hit or miss with few in-between. I'd be out of here in a heartbeat if I had to pay a dime.

Pretty good
The dorm staffs are great from what I've seen. Overall there's little to complain about with the housing itself; the only problem are cretin residents who vandalize the place and don't know how to flush a toilet.

Gorgeous
For all the disappointments here, it's hard to argue that the scenery isn't beautiful. Merely walking around campus is a great way to cool down if classes have pissed you off. Outdoors here is incredibly peaceful.
