Which Chicago schools have a large Asian student population?

Hey everyone, I am really curious about which colleges in Chicago have a large population of Asian students? As an Asian student myself, I want to make sure I'll have a community I can relate to. Any info would be much appreciated, thank you!

Sure, I can definitely provide some information on that. When it comes to attending schools with a significant Asian student population, two Chicago schools that come to mind are The University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) and Loyola University Chicago.

The University of Illinois at Chicago has a significant Asian population. According to recent statistics, approximately 20% of the student population identifies as Asian. This diverse population contributes to various cultural events and student organizations targeted towards supporting Asian students and promoting cross-cultural interaction.

Similarly, Loyola University Chicago also has a sizable Asian student population. Around 16% of the undergraduate population identify as Asian. The university hosts many cultural associations and clubs that cater to various Asian groups, helping students find a sense of belonging and community. This includes organizations and events celebrating cultures from India, China, Japan, and other Asian countries.

In addition, Northwestern University, which is in Evanston (just north of Chicago) also has a vibrant Asian student population, with Asian students making up about 20% of the undergraduate population. The University is home to many Asian and Asian American affinity and community groups, providing avenues for cultural expression, support and engagement.

Please note that the percentages might vary a little as these are estimates based on the most recent data available. Remember that the ethnic or cultural makeup of a school is only one aspect to consider when choosing a college. It’s also important to look at other factors such as your intended major, financial aid options, location, size, etc. that are fundamental to your overall college experience. Hope this helps!
