I visited Williams, Amherst, and Bowdoin, and all three were lacking in minorities in general. Amherst and Bowdoin still seemed alot more diverse than Williams (esp. Asians and blacks), which gives you an indication of how poor Williams is in that department.

<p>Actually, </p>
<p>Amherst is 12.62 % Asian</p>
<p>Williams is 10.45% Asian</p>
<p>Bowdoin is 12.28% Asian </p>
<p>davidson or and small liberal arts</p>
<p>flip side of the OP:</p>
<p>UC Berkeley 41.4%

<p>Generally, schools in the Midwest or South won't have as high a concentration of Asians.</p>
<p>actually, i'd say Asians are pretty well represented this year at Bates</p>
<p>never thought someone wud ask it in this way! :p</p>
<p>Colgate, Holy Cross, Bucknell, Davidson.</p>

Supposedly there's a running joke in admissions departments that Asians won't apply to any school -- no matter how good it is -- if it has the word "College" in its name, rather than "University". Don't know how true this is, but there is a perception that even the highest-ranked liberal arts colleges often struggle to attract Asian students.

Good school -- but enrollment is only 5% Asian, according to collegeboard.com</p>
<p>"A majority of Asian-Americans attend community college or city colleges."</p>
<p>-from what data did you make that statement?</p>
<p>Emory class of 2011 is actually 28% Asian</p>

<p>Actually, a majority of all college students attend community and city colleges. So it only makes sense that a majority of Asians would do the same. I'm sure that not all Asians have doctors/scientists for parents and have the credentials to get into the Ivies.</p>
<p>do you think shy asian(english is second language..) would get isolated in such schools as vanderbilt or davidson??</p>
<p>I know nothing about Davidson, so I won't even make a guess. From what I have seen of Vanderbilt, I think a student, any student, would have to try hard to be isolated. The university has many organized activities at the beginning of freshman year to get students involved in the school and community, and every freshman now belongs to a small orientation group consisting of a faculty member, upperclassman, and other freshman; this group meets throughout the school year regularly for trips, gatherings, activities expressly designed to make sure no student is isolated.</p>
<p>The school is very concerned with the overall well being of its undergraduates.</p>
<p>i don't know if i'm understating or not but, i think asians usually stay away from liberal arts colleges</p>
<p>Wierdhobo, I know a lot of Asian kids, friends of my son (who is not Asian) and many of them are at LACs or universities with strong undergrad programs--Rice, Vanderbilt, Wash U. The OP is looking for a school at which an Asian student will not feel socially isolated. I think there are many options available.</p>
<p>The percentage of Asians at a school seems to be inversely proportionate to its reputation as a "party school". So I'd go to the Princeton Review "top 20 party schools" list (which, shockingly, seems to be compiled strictly on the basis of Peer Assessment as opposed to rigorously objective calculations!) and start with that.</p>

<p>I can't find the site right now which had listed the % of Asian-Americans in higher education attending community college (but it was something like 45-46%).</p>
<p>Here's the link to the AACC.</p>
<p>AAs make up 6% of the 11.6 million students attending CCs or 696,000 students. Add the no. of Asian students at "city colleges" like CUNY, UIC, etc. - and you get a majority.</p>

<p>I think you must also look at the reasons as to why students are attending "city" and/or community colleges. My biggest guest would be $$. If a student does not have a green card, they go into the international pool of candidates, where most schools are not need blind to this population of students.</p>
<p>If a student gets into the CUNY honors college, it is a free ride including books and a laptop. If a student decides to go the community college route, and gets accepted to the ASAP program, there is also free tuition, $500/term book stipend and a free metrocard to cover the commuting cost. The worse case scenario, would be that they would charged the local tuition rate if they attended and graduated from high school in NYC. </p>
<p>I am quite sure that there are similiar initiatives or at minimum the most affordable options for those who cannot afford to pay for privates are the local city/state & community colleges.</p>
<p>^ That's INCORRECT since Asian-American students and International students from Asia are counted separately.</p>
