Demographics of Cal Poly Pomona?

Hey guys, I'm quite interested in Cal Poly Pomona but I've been curious about the diversity there. Anyone knows about the demographic breakdown of the student body? Like ethnicity, gender ratio, international vs. domestic? The diversity of the campus really matters to me so any info would be great!

Cal Poly Pomona is known for its diverse student body composition and the campus community takes pride in this diversity. Here’s a broad sketch of the university’s demographic data:

1. Ethnic Diversity: Cal Poly Pomona is considered to have one of the most diverse undergraduate populations among all U.S. public universities. The biggest ethnic groups on campus are Hispanic or Latino students, followed by Asian, White, and Black or African American. There are also smaller communities of Multiracial, American Indian, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander students. It's important, however, to check the most recent data from the school's website or national databases to get up-to-date specifics.

2. Gender Ratio: In terms of gender ratio, the university typically has near equal distribution of males and females, providing a balanced environment.

3. International vs Domestic: The majority of the students at Cal Poly Pomona are domestic. While there is a healthy international presence, the international students represent a small percentage of the total student body, adding to the mix of cultural perspectives on campus.

4. First-Generation Students: A significant portion of the students at Cal Poly Pomona are first-generation college students, furthering the diversity of experiences and perspectives.

Remember that the concept of diversity extends beyond just race and ethnicity. It involves a multitude of factors including socioeconomic status, age, religious beliefs, and more. So while the demographics give you a notion of the student body's diversity, the true measure of a school's diversity is in the range of experiences, ideas, and perspectives its students bring to the table.
