I'm interested in studying in a university in the USA with a vibrant Indian student community. Does anyone know which universities have the most Indian students enrolled?
The exact data varies from year to year, but traditionally, a few universities in the U.S. stand out with considerable Indian student population.
The University of Southern California (USC) consistently has one of the highest Indian student populations amongst all U.S. universities. Other universities with a significant number of Indian students include Northeastern University in Boston, and the University of Texas at Dallas.
Importantly, universities in major metropolitan cities are generally more likely to have a larger Indian student community due to the city's own diverse population and resources. So even if a university doesn't have the highest enrollment of Indian students, it might still have a vibrant Indian community due to its location.
However, remember to select a university based on your intended study program and individual needs, not just the demographics. While a significant Indian student population might be comforting and familiar, it is also valuable to consider the benefits of engaging with a more diverse student body. After all, an essential part of studying abroad is exposure to different cultures and ideas.
Remember to check various factors such as the quality of your desired course, campus facilities, financial aid availability, etc. while shortlisting universities.
