Mix of student cultures at school but very campus based school; at least a third of students very focused on studies so certain competitiveness in the classroom; many campus activities and effort to involve students in activities; majority white and many students coming from a middle/upper middle class background although about a third of students receiving significant financial aid; lots of freedom from campus authorities for students to plan activities on campus

At the time computer labs were state of the art, most students now have their own computers so labs are now for students and researchers doing specialized activities; dorms, classrooms and dining halls were a mix of older facilities and newer more updated facilities which continues as new buildings are built and older buildings remodeled.
