Hasiba Ahmed, Sophomore Biology major I think NSU is pretty good with diversity. There is a lot of [progress] pushing towards the acceptance. I feel like teachers are pretty good. As I am visibly Muslim, there is a pretty big Muslim club here. I think that is really nice, but I know it took a while to get there, it’s a nice privilege to have.
Alexa Tardio, Freshman Marine Biology major I can see that there is a lot of diversity here and being in the twenty first century we are more accepting no matter what. I think everyone [here] is more open-minded when it comes to meet new people and becoming more culturally sensitized because of the diversity that [NSU] has.
Carina Grand, Graduate Biological sciences student I think that NSU is great at accepting students from different backgrounds. However, I feel like the students separate themselves into groups and are not very inclusive with each other. [NSU] does a great job at accepting students, but not a very good job at integrating and connecting people from different backgrounds and cultures.
Aryanna Chang, Freshman Elementary Education major I have heard some people say “fag”[on campus] a lot. I’ve heard that word a lot from some fraternity brothers. I also heard them used the word autistic and “retarded” too, in a derogatory way. I don’t know if that is [something said in the Northern US], but that’s a really ugly word.
Maria Jose Reyes, Sophomore Psychology major I feel like NSU is a very good at accepting students. They have a lot of clubs and organizations that are representative of the different religions and [cultural backgrounds] on campus. I personally haven’t had any problems being a Hispanic student. I feel welcome here.
Inigo Cillero, Freshman Business and Finance major; I am European, so I think that NSU has a lot of diversity. It is really interesting in that way as I have made lots of friends here and the professors have been really kind to me. I feel like people appreciate me [as an international student] a lot. I feel like they are more kind to me being as I am European.
