Diverse College Campuses

Was wondering if anyone knows which universities are considered to be the most diverse in terms of ethnicity, race, religion, etc. Diversity is very important to me and I want to attend a college that embraces it.

Sure, there are many colleges and universities well-known for their diversity in race, ethnicity, religion, and more. To give you a few examples:

1. Rutgers University - Newark: The Rutgers campus in Newark, New Jersey, consistently ranks as the most ethnically diverse university in the United States. Its student body represents a huge range of racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds.

2. University of Houston: It's considered one of the most diverse public research universities in the U.S. It serves students from various cultural, ethnic, and socioeconomic communities.

3. Stanford University: It is recognized for enrolling a significant number of international students, which contributes to its broad cultural and ethnic diversity.

4. University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA): UCLA is home to students from more than 100 countries and a wide variety of ethnic, cultural, and socio-economic backgrounds.

5. University of California, Berkeley: This school is known for its wide range of ethnic groups and cultures.

6. University of Southern California (USC): USC is globally recognized, with a relatively large and diverse student body.

7. University of Miami: This university boasts a high level of diversity, with over 100 countries represented in a student population of around 17,000.

Remember though, diversity isn't just about the student body makeup. It's about how a school supports and celebrates its diverse population, so diversity initiatives and programs, student organizations, curriculum offerings, and the overall campus environment are all important factors to consider as well. So, do some research about how each school supports diversity beyond just enrolment statistics.
