<p>Have you been down to USC? I say this sincerely, but I honestly wouldn’t call our student body ‘homogenous’. USC has a really high out-of-state population, which provides for a very diverse student population, and although South Carolina is a solidly conservative state, the Daily Gamecock (our student newspaper) leans left and supported Obama for the last election. You honestly get people from all over the political spectrum. As for race, I have had classes where I (as a white student) was actually in the minority.</p>
<p>When you say you’re Asian, I’m not sure specifically what you’re referring to, but we also have a very active International Student Association on campus and many other cultural associations on campus that are very welcoming. I’m pretty sure there was some sort of Chinese Club on Greene St by our student union today. (I assume it was Chinese because I saw people dressed as pandas and other stereotypical Chinese themes, but I could be entirely wrong.)</p>
<p>I’d say, either check out the campus and then apply or apply and then check out the campus if the financial aid offer is good. That is, if you have not already visited.</p>
