In my opinion the student body has a special dynamic due to the eclectic mix of highly creative students in the cinema, music, dramatic arts and fine arts schools who share dorm halls with students who may be majoring in biophysics, computational mathematics, petroleum engineering or accounting. International students add to a student body that has been ranked as one of the most economically diverse.

The vast majority of SC students are on financial aid. Yes, you will find students who are from wealthy backgrounds as you would at any large elite university. You will also find those who have Pell Grants. Fourteen per cent of the class that entered in August were the first in their family to attend college. There is so much variety in the students you will find friends who share your interests. About 80 religious groups and over 600 clubs are there to welcome you.
