Cultural Diversity at Georgetown

Colleges and Universities A-Z Georgetown University

<p>Well, I've been accepted to a few schools so far, still waiting on a couple more, but right now it seems like I'm choosing between UCLA and Georgetown. </p>

<p>The only other thing besides weather that I can think of that gives UCLA an edge is diversity. I checked out the stats and Gtown seems pretty racially homogeneous--68% white. Although they claim to have many token internationals and asians, it would seem to be rather difficult to find them. </p>

<p>Is that the case?</p>

<p>I'm Indian and my culture is really important... but so is my education. But UCLA offers a great education with many Indian organizations and such. I just don't know anything about Georgetown in that regard except statistics. What's it REALLY like there for a minority student?</p>

<p>Thanks so much.</p>

<p>im bengali (if that helps) and just visited g-town. i go to a 95% white suburban school, but have lived in nyc and boston. dc was def diverse... unlike most ivies, there were actually many blacks and hispanics. theres a south asian club and muslim student assosiation so im sure theres a good amount of indians/pakis/etc... i saw a few. </p>

<p>then again theres more to a school than color. you will like g-town if you're preppyish, adventurous and dont mind walking. ive lived in the US for most of my life so not many of my friends are asian anyhow. cali and dc are diff places so research well before you choose!</p>

<p>the south asian community at gtown is very big, and close knit
there are many indians,pakistanis etc on campus
the south asian society is extremely active
dont worry about fitting in
im pakistani (fob) and fit in perfectly</p>

<p>Even though Georgetown may not be the most diverse place, people are accepting here. Just having a diverse community isn't enough, people have to interact well too. That happens at gtown.</p>

<p>i'll add to the latino diversity</p>
