Hi everyone, I'm currently researching diverse schools. I heard some colleges have really large Asian communities - do any of you know which colleges these are? Thanks!
Sure, there are several colleges in the United States with substantial Asian-American populations. Here are a few that come to mind:
- At the University of California (UC) schools, the Asian-American population is usually quite high. Schools like UC Irvine and UC San Diego often have Asian-American student populations that exceed 35%. UC Berkeley and UCLA also have significant Asian-American enrollments.
- In the California State University system, schools like San Francisco State University and San Jose State University also have substantial Asian-American communities.
- Moving to the East Coast, Rutgers University in New Jersey has an Asian-American community that comprises about 20% of the student body.
- Similarly, the University of Maryland, College Park has a significant Asian-American population, around 15% as well.
- On a smaller scale, private institutions such as Carnegie Mellon University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) also have quite large Asian-American student populations.
While these figures can change year by year, these schools have consistently demonstrated a high degree of diversity in their student bodies. Remember, a school's diversity can enhance your educational experience in numerous ways, including exposing you to new perspectives and cultures.
