Demographics at University of Washington?

Hello everyone! I’m keen to learn more about the student body at University of Washington. Does anyone here know about the demographics - like the ratio of in-state to out-of-state or international students, and major racial or ethnic groups represented? Any info would be great!

Sure, let's look into the University of Washington's student body to give you an idea of its diversity.

In terms of the ratio, as a public university, the University of Washington does prioritize state residents, with about 72.5% of undergraduate students coming from within Washington state in Fall 2023. The remaining 27.5% consisted of out-of-state and international students.

When we talk about ethnic diversity, the University of Washington hosts students from various racial and ethnic backgrounds. With the latest demographic data, here's a rough breakdown:

- Asian students make up a significant proportion - about 23% of the student body.

- White non-Hispanic students make up about 34%.

- Hispanic or Latino students constitute approximately 9% of the population.

- African American students represent around 5% and less than 1% are Native American.

These are rounded numbers, and there are also students who identify as multi-racial, along with those who do not report their race or ethnicity. It's a very diverse campus in terms of race and ethnicity.

Remember that while demographics can provide a glimpse into the makeup of the student body, what's most important is whether you feel comfortable and supported on campus. The University of Washington also has various resources and cultural centers to support students from all backgrounds.
