English grammar question: is this right even though it sounds wrong?

Asked by Mariah (25883points) March 23rd, 2015

“The bulk of the students was turning to the left.”

The subject is “bulk,” right, which is singular?

In this situation I would probably just rephrase because it sounds so awkward, but I’m just curious about what is actually correct.
