"The vast majority of the students are West Virginians. "Middle-class white kids" proliferate. There are many "older students who have returned to school after several years off." Ethnic diversity is minimal. "If you are from West Virginia, it is diverse," suggests a senior. "If you are from another state, it is most likely not." Politically, the culture is "left-leaning." However, conservatives feel at home. "I am a right-wing conservative, and I fit into Shepherd just fine," says a junior. "We are open-minded and you will not be shunned based on religion, politics, or beliefs." For a small college in a small town, the students are a pretty eclectic mix. "I love that Shepherd has preps, hippies, jocks, gamers, geeks, and everyone else in between," declares a senior. "Everyone fits in somewhere, and it's not unusual to find a football player hanging out with a musician.""
