Hey, y'all! I'm considering applying to the University of the Incarnate Word (UIW). I was just wondering, how big is the student population there? Is it a diverse campus? If anyone has any insights, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
Hi! The University of the Incarnate Word (UIW) has about 4,000 undergraduate students, which makes it a relatively small institution, although there are some graduate students as well who make the campus feel slightly fuller. As for diversity, UIW is lauded for its commitment to diverse representation. Historically, Hispanic students make up the majority of the student body, around 60% or more.
With a strong emphasis on promoting diversity and inclusion, the school also enrolls students from various other ethnic backgrounds, which creates a rich and multicultural environment on campus. Of course, it's always a good idea to visit the campus or connect with current students to get a firsthand feel for the atmosphere, as perception of diversity can be subjective. But overall, a range of students feel welcome at UIW. Best of luck with your application!
