Most Predominantly White Colleges?

Hi there! I'm aware that diversity varies hugely across colleges, but I was wondering if there's a list of those that tend to have higher white student populations? Not because I'm against diversity (quite the opposite) but just to be aware and make an informed choice. Thanks for your help.

In the US, the racial and ethnic makeup of a school can vary widely based on its location, size, and recruitment efforts. While the concept of diversity varies from people to people, the term predominantly white institutions (PWIs) is often used to describe institutions where 50% or more of the students are white.

Here are some universities with high percentages of white students:

1. University of Maine: situated in Orono, Maine which is primarily a white community. The student population mirrors that and is predominantly white.

2. West Virginia University: located in Morgantown, West Virginia. It's one of the larger public universities where the majority of the student population is white.

3. University of New Hampshire: The university's demographic make-up, being in a primarily white state, is largely white.

4. University of Vermont: located in Burlington, Vermont - the student body is predominantly white.

5. University of Idaho: predominately populated by white students, much like the state itself.

However, it's essential to recognize that while these schools may have higher white student populations, they also are committed to fostering environments that celebrate diversity and inclusivity. Many have various programs and organizations aimed at supporting students of diverse backgrounds and promoting cultural exchange and understanding. It's also important to research these aspects when selecting a school, as it greatly impacts your college life.

Please note that the universities mentioned above should not be taken as prescriptive or the only examples, but merely representative. I would suggest researching the demographics of any institutions you are interested in to ensure they align with the kind of campus community you want to be a part of.
