I'm planning on going to college in state (Minnesota), but it's really important to me to be in a diverse environment. Where should I be applying to find a vibrant, multicultural campus?
Sure thing, let's look at some of the diverse institutions within Minnesota.
1. University of Minnesota Twin Cities - According to the College Factual, it's one of the most diverse colleges in Minnesota. Apart from diversity in racial and ethnic backgrounds, you'll find students from myriad socioeconomic backgrounds, geographies, and unique life experiences.
2. Metropolitan State University - This school is known for attracting a diverse group of students, especially non-traditional students returning to college later in life, and students who work full-time while studying.
3. Concordia College at Moorhead - The college has a significant population of international students and has an emphasis on global experiences.
Remember, diversity isn't just about each school's demographics but their commitment to cultivating an inclusive environment. Therefore, it's also worth looking at schools' efforts in fostering programs and resources dedicated to diversity and inclusion.
Though these are good options, don't forget to visit the campuses and speak with current students to ensure that these colleges live up to their diversity promises. It's important to experience what diversity looks and feels like at each respective university.
