Mostly, affable, kind, and fun, but, of course, thee are all kinds of people to be found.
It's a mixbag.
It's big. I don't know any more than that. I'm shy, and Japanese class is really the only place where I've managed to have some kind of camaraderie.
Pretty chill.
Not highly diverse but all sudents are open-minded

Additional reviews of faculty:

They are generally kind and helpful.
It's a grabbag
Changes from department to department. I do wish CMLIT wouldn't outsource to Classics though. It seems like if the departments are in the same building, they get along pretty well, like English, CMLIT, Japanese, and French & Francophone Studies. Philosophy, Linguistics and Classics don't mesh nearly as well. As for helpfulness, again, it depends on the teacher and the department. Liberal Arts classes I've had haven't been taught by a TA, and the professors were approachable.
Mostly god, but it depends on the person and/or the day.
Knowledgeable about subject, but students must make the extra effort if they need help. Most classes are forum sized and professors cannot take class time to help individual students.
not a very difficult program but definitely very enlightening and educating
They do not care about the student.
GREAT
Decent.
Intimidating
Overall professors across campus are very helpful. Within the department, professors may be on a power trip... not all but some.
