Diversity: Even though this college is a HBCU there still is a diverse set of students here. There are different religions, sexual preferences, and political beliefs. Everyone is accepted and treated equally.

Diversity: students are from several different backgrounds.

4 College Junior

Diversity: I would prefer to see more races on campus but WSSU is a historically black school so that is understandable. I do know that people are able to express who they are and not feel ashamed about it. We are who we are and WSSU lets us express it freely.
