Diversity at ND?

<p>I heard it's very homogenous and mostly white.
Is that true? I am asian and most of my friends are white/asian, but I am open to all races and a very accepting person.
I don't want to apply if the students at ND are not very accepting because for me, diversity is very important.</p>

<p>Yeah I was wondering about that too. Diversity is important to me, and 80% of my high school is nonwhite so it’ll be very different at Notre Dame.</p>

<p>Notre Dame being homogenous and white does not mean students are not “accepting” or to put it more bluntly not racists. ND is mostly white (~75%). The largest minority are Asians. </p>

<p>So to answer your question, while I wouldn’t say the students are not “accepting” there is not a lot of diversity. Some minority students don’t have a problem with this, but I know of a few people who transferred to other schools because of this particular issue. The biggest complaint towards the issue of minimal diversity is in the dorms, where a lot of minority students decide to move off campus or room together. You have to visit and see if the atmosphere is good for you, because from an 80% non-white high school its going to be a bit of an adjustment.</p>
