I'm currently exploring colleges and am aiming to find a diverse and inclusive environment. I was wondering which college in Philadelphia has the most Asian students?
While specific numbers can fluctuate from year to year, Penn (The University of Pennsylvania) tends to have the highest percentage of Asian students compared to other colleges in Philadelphia.
As of the most recent data, Penn reported that about 20% of their undergraduate body identifies as Asian. This is a significant percentage when considering the diversity of the student population.
On the other hand, nearby Drexel University and Temple University have also reported significant Asian student populations, typically ranging between 10%-15%.
Remember, diversity can be measured in different ways and high numbers of a particular ethnic group don't necessarily equate to an inclusive or welcoming environment. Make sure to research each school's campus culture, clubs, organizations, and resources for diversity and inclusion as well. These factors can often provide a more nuanced understanding of a school's diversity than raw numbers alone.
