Which university in the U.S. is considered the most diverse?

I'm planning to apply to schools that have a rich cultural diversity. Heard a lot about various diverse campuses but finding it hard to pinpoint one. Are there any universities known for being the most diverse on the basis of their student body or programs?

There are several colleges that are lauded for their diversity, but if we're talking about ethnic/racial diversity and inclusivity, one of the most diverse universities in the U.S. is the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine). It consistently ranks high in multiple diversity indices.

UC Irvine is part of the University of California system, which overall is known for its diverse student body. The university has a significant number of students from a variety of ethnic backgrounds, contributing to a rich and varied cultural environment on campus.

In terms of additional diversity factors such as socioeconomic status, religious belief, and geographic origin, Rutgers University - Newark, in New Jersey, has been commended for its strong diversity in all these categories, as well.

Remember, though, that diversity can be measured in a variety of ways and it's important for you to identify what specifically you're looking for. Is it international diversity, racial diversity, socioeconomic diversity, or diversity of thought? Each of these could potentially lead you towards a different set of colleges. So, it'd be helpful to consider what aspects of diversity are most important to you before you finalize your list of colleges to apply to.
