Colleges with Large Asian Student Population

Hi everyone, I'm an Asian-American student and I feel like I might feel more comfortable in a college where there is a higher proportion of Asian students. I was wondering if there were any US colleges or universities with a substantial Asian student population?

Absolutely, there are numerous universities across the U.S. where Asian-American students make up a significant portion of the student population.

On the West Coast, University of California, Berkeley (often called Cal) and University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) are both known to have a sizable Asian-American population. This is reflective of the diverse population in their respective cities as well.

Similarly, on the East Coast, schools like University of Massachusetts - Amherst (UMass Amherst) and Rutgers in New Jersey have a substantial Asian student population.

In the heartland, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign also has a significant Asian-American student population.

Also worth noting are schools that have a strong value for cultural diversity such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Stanford University, where you might find strong Asian communities regardless of specific population percentages.

Do note that even in colleges with smaller Asian student populations, many have Asian cultural associations or clubs where you can meet and connect with other students of similar background. It's not just about the numbers but also about the available resources to enhance cultural interaction.

Remember that visiting a campus, whether in-person or virtually, can often give you a better sense of the community there. So, if it's possible, consider visiting some of these campuses to get a firsthand impression of their cultural diversity.
