What's the Demographic Make-up at Northeastern?

So, I've been looking more into Northeastern and I was wondering what the demographic situation is like? I'm curious about diversity and stuff like that, just want to know what I'm possibly walking into.

Northeastern University, located in Boston, embraces a diverse student body. Here's a snapshot of the demographic breakdown and an overview of campus diversity:

Ethnic Diversity: According to the latest data from Northeastern, the share of undergraduates by ethnicity includes 11% Hispanic students, 22% Asian, 5% Black, 13% International students, and 40% White. The remaining students identify as two or more races, unidentified, or did not report their race. These are all approximate numbers, but they give you a good idea of the racial makeup of the school.

Gender Diversity: The gender distribution at Northeastern is also fairly balanced, with about 49% male students and 51% female students.

Geographic Diversity: Northeastern attracts students from all 50 states and over 140 countries. The international student body adds to the diversity as well.

Socio-Economic Diversity: Northeastern is committed to making their education accessible, running programs like the Torch Scholars Program which offers full-tuition scholarships to first-generation students. Learn more about the Torch Scholars program here: https://torch.northeastern.edu/.

These diversity statistics contribute to a rich, multicultural campus environment, making the university a thriving place where students are exposed to different cultures, ethnicities, and ideas from around the globe. Northeastern doesn't just value diversity, either, they value belonging, wanting to make sure that every student feels they have a home there.

I hope this answers your question!
