Hi all! I'm looking at Notre Dame and I'm curious about the student body demographics there. I want a diverse college experience. Can anyone share what the demographics are like there? Thanks in advance.
Sure, I can help with this! According to the data available, as of the last academic year, the University of Notre Dame had a significant percentage of white students, comprising 64% of the undergraduate student body. Hispanic/Latino students made up the next largest demographic, accounting for about 13%, and Asian students were around 6%. Black or African American students accounted for approximately 4%. Geographically, students at Notre Dame come from all 50 states in the U.S., with Indiana, Illinois, California, New York, and New Jersey having the greatest representation. There are also students from numerous countries around the world, which can contribute to the diversity of perspectives on campus.
When considering diversity, it is worth noting that Notre Dame is a Catholic institution, and a majority of the student body identifies as Catholic, which can influence the culture of the university. Religion, like ethnicity or geography, can be an aspect of diversity and might be a consideration depending on what you're looking for in a college experience. It's always a good idea to visit a college or interact with current students and alumni if you can, to get a sense of the campus community and whether it's a good fit for you.
