krakenjack, I’ve visited at least a dozen times , met at least a hundred students, and it seems to be a very welcoming place. I cannot speak to how you will be received on campus as I don’t know you but based upon your posting here, I’m pretty sure you’ll be just fine. I wouldn’t worry about being from Pakistan, if that is the worry. Rhodes is not an overly or overtly religious place although there are many people of faith (all faiths being represented).

Rhodes is not a backwater LAC full of rednecks. IMO the dominant campus culture is one of serious students, of good will, who care about their fellow man, and express that caring in many forms of volunteer activities, both by group and individual action. If that sounds like you, you’ll be fine.
