<p>I am born and raised in NYC, so naturally i am quite liberal (socially that is).
Remember that you are in the south, and lots of the students in FL aren’t as accustomed to such diversity as you or I may be (literally some people don’t even know where Guyana is), however that isn’t necessarily their fault. I will say however, that beyond the ultra liberal lacoste wearing frat boys, you will find most people rather open minded. For instance, the LGBT community is quite supported by most of the non-LGBT student population. There are also quite a lot of different multi-racial organizations on campus, like the Mexican American Student Association, or the Indian Student Association.</p>
