<p>What is the breakdown of each ethnic group?</p>
<p>This is all it has on the Umich website: </p>
<p>Diverse Student Body</p>
<pre><code>* Undergraduates from all 50 states and over 80 foreign countries; over one-third from outside the state of Michigan
* Freshmen from over 1650 different high schools
* 25% of undergraduates are African American, Hispanic American, Native American, or Asian American
* 4% are international students
* Ratio of undergraduate men to women approximately 50/50

<p>aside from the statistics..</p>
<p>the most people you'll see on campus are caucasian or asians. i rarely see any african,hispanic,native americans on campus.</p>
<p>Maybe I just went on an odd day or something but when I visited the campus I saw a ton of African-Americans, not many Hispanics and Native Americans though.</p>
<p>I see tons of Asians and African-Americans. Otherwise just plain white people.</p>
<p>From walking around</p>
<p>I see mostly white, then Asian (Chinese, Japanese, Korean), and then Indian (India), and then Africa American, then Hispanic/Native American. </p>
<p>I've seen 1-2 Hispanic students, no native american that I could tell just by looking at.</p>
<p>when i visited....i saw so many asians LOL...basically all i saw were whites and asians</p>
<p>Yeah, Michigan is basically white and Asian.</p>
<p>Pretty much any top tier school is white an Asian.</p>
<p>A lot of what you'd see is dependent on which part of campus you're at, and what kind of classes you take. </p>
<p>I think if you're interested in diversity/multiculturalism there's lots of opportunities available for you to pursue, but it's not really the kind of thing that jumps out at you all the time.</p>
<p>Michigan is very diverse, but you have to seek the diversity out. There are currently over 1,000 undergrads from California, New York and Illinois. Can you imagine 3,000 undergrads from those three states at Noethwestern, Chicago or Duke? There are over 500 undergrads from New Jersey, Ohio and Pennsylvania. There are over 300 undergrads from Florida, Maryland, Texas, Georgia and Connecticut. There are also roughly 1,300 undergraduate international students from over 80 countries. Most of Michigan's peers have fewer than 500 international undergrads. URMs make up 15% of Michigan's undergraduate student population and other minorities make up another 15% of the student body. One thing that I find very unfortunate, and that is not a problem that is limited only to Michigan but rather, a problem on most campuses, is that students of diverse backgrounds do no interact with each other as much as they should. </p>
<p>In terms of intellectual pursuits, Michigan has colleges of Music, Art, Nursing, Kinesiology, Business, Engineering and Architecture, all of which are ranked among the top 5 or 6 in the nation in their respective fields and therefore, attract some of the best students from around the nation and world. Those majors make up 40% of Michigan's undergraduate student population. The remaining 60% belong to the college of LSA with more than 90% of its departments ranked among the top 10 in the nation! </p>
<p>Michigan is a liberal university to be sure, but conservatives hold their own. The Michigan Review is one of the best conservative university Newspaper in the nation and several of Michigan's best faculty members are staunch conservatives.</p>
<p>I understand that there is a large percentage of Jewish students, but do they make up a great deal of the white population? (I frequently hear that about other top colleges/universities)</p>
<p>I would not say Jewish students make up a "great deal" of the white population at Michigan, but definitely a healthy percentage of the white student population is Jewish. I'd say roughly 15%-20%.</p>
<p>for some strange reason, i've noticed that most african-americans live on north campus, and a lot of them are students in the music school.</p>
<p>Depends where you are. In Kresge, I see nearly all Indians and Korean. They are MBA students. Some programs have more diversity or international presence than others.</p>
<p>Pretty strong Jewish population here. Some people say around a quarter of all students. My Soc. disc. session from last semester, 8/15 were Jewish. Definitely Lots of Indians. HK and Taiwanese kids are another prominent part of the Asian population. Several Koreans too, most of them here seem to smoke in case anyone needs help distinguishing them from others. I haven't seen very many Japanese or South-Asian. Haven't seen that many Blacks or Hispanics either.</p>
