I'd like to know some generalizations about college students in the
regions of the United States and Canada. I'm looking for New England,
Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, South, Southwest, West, and Canada (in
general). In terms of what I'd like to know about is how they behave,
how competitive they are, what they like to do, why they choose those
regions, etc. Basically, any information about them. Thanks!

For info on Canadian University students try Macleans Magazine.  They
put out an issue with info on all Canadian Uni's- their students,
groups, bars, hang outs, subjects, specialties rankings etc etc.

The site isn't great but you might be able to order an past issue.

Thanks for the info!

Hi googleeyes,

It is much easier to make generalizations about the students that go
to particular  schools no matter what region they are in.  For
instance, consider two different universities in Virginia.  The
students at the University of Virginia, for the most part, are
considered very academic, preppy, competitive, and mabye even
arrogant.  Of course, there are exceptions.  Also, most of the
students at UVA are white--there is little diversity.  Only one hour
away from UVA is Virginia Commonwealth University.  The students here
are generally considerably different from those at UVA despite the
close proximity of the schools.  VCU students are much more diverse
(white, black, latino, etc.)  They are probably (generally) less
competitive than those at UVA as well.  Again, there are execptions.
 
I went to both universities so I know a little about the students that
are enrolled there.  As for resources consider "The Fiske Guide to
Colleges" or the Princeton guide to colleges.  These (and other books
like it) can be found at your local bookstore or Barnes & Noble.

Thanks, Monsterr!
