Which US colleges have the most Korean students?

Hey all! I'm in my junior year, preparing for college admissions, and I was thinking about racial diversity in colleges. Does anybody know which US colleges have the most Korean students?

There are several colleges in the U.S that have a significant Korean student population. It's also important to note the distinction between Korean international students and Korean American students; both contribute differently to the Korean culture and community on campus.

The University of Southern California (USC) has a notably large Korean student population. In fact, USC regularly ranks as one of the top universities for international students, with a significant portion coming from South Korea.

Similarly, in terms of sheer numbers, the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) both have large Korean American student populations, due in part to their location in California, which has the largest Korean American population in the U.S.

Other schools renowned for their Korean American student populations include New York University (NYU), the University of Washington (UW), and Boston University (BU).

However, keep in mind that the actual "feel" of the Korean community can vary widely from school to school, depending on factors such as the presence of Korean student organizations, Korean classes, and local Korean communities.

So while these schools do have a large Korean student population, I would also encourage looking at the broader community and supports for Korean students at the universities you're considering.
