There are many different student groups and organizations on campus, and with over 20,000 students, it is not unreasonable to assume some students or organizations may never come in contact with one another. However, this does not mean K-State's student population is not diverse or there is not a niche for each and every student at K-State.

We believe K-State students, like most of the world's population, generally gravitate toward people like themselves, whether they determine that by major, age, ethnicity, sexual orientation or shared religious beliefs. Simply because people naturally tend to place themselves in homogenous groups does not mean K-State is not diverse or that it is insensitive to minority groups. It simply means many "minority" students do the same thing many "majority" students do: form friendships with people they are comfortable with.

It seems K-State is indeed a segmented student body but most of those segments are chosen and created by students themselves and they are not due to hostility or ignorance. Instead, K-State is like the rest of the United States: there are many different backgrounds and ethnicities within our student body and some are more easily found than others.
