<p>ive read the ethnic percentages but i figured people that go there would know best. is emory pretty culturally and ethnically diverse and do the different groups intermingle?</p>
<p>im not sure why but it just seems to be an important consideration for me. thanks, dudes</p>
<p>As you'll see by looking at the statistics, Emory is fairly racially diverse compared to other top colleges. Emory is also geographically diverse, as it draws sizable populations from around the country.</p>
<p>From walking around campus, you'll see students of all races. While you'll see diversity, you may notice that Asians are over represented, and Hispanics and African Americans are under represented -- all of this in relation to the population of the USA. But again, based upon statistics, Emory is more diverse than many other top colleges.</p>
<p>Interaction between students of different backgrounds is common. With that said, it feels like there is some self separation, particularly among International students who stick together.</p>
<p>this is kinda what i'm afriad of. See in my high school if i go hang out with the jocks, i won't have time for the emo kids. If i go to the demo. side, i lose touch with republicans, as well as the cowboys. I really hope i can be in a diverse group, learn different things and cultures, at the same time. So when Emory critics say, long island kids stick in one group, internationals stick in another,and no one talks with each other, is that an exaggeratoin?</p>
<p>betterday55 - That is definitely an exaggeration and it is one aspect of high school that I certainly do not miss. Honestly, I have yet to see or know of anyone who was excluded merely because of ethnic, cultural, or other differences. If you walk around campus, of course you will see people of a particular group hanging out together, but you are always going to see mixed groups as well. Who you hang out with and make friends with is truly up to you. If you choose to be exclusive, you will probably find yourself excluded and vice versa.</p>
<p>yea man, emory does have statistics showing diversity but it would be a shame if there was too much self segregation. personally, i would love to get to know and hang out with some international kids like from the East.</p>
<p>Most "international kids from the East" tend to be Koreans. It is sad and true that international Korean students tend to hang out among themselves but that's just because most of them already know each other by the time they get here and they share a common "culture." Of course, there are always exceptions and diversifying examples, but no one at Emory will avoid you, or not talk to you just because you are different from them. But even yourself, will probably end up hanging out with a group of close friends and will have tons of friends that you talk to and are friendly with, but not necessarily hang out with regardless of race or sex.</p>
<p>what about the Taiwanese population</p>
<p>ya i'm korean but i actually think i have more white friends, not to say im racist or anything, it's just that i don't like to limit myself only to the korean cliques and i'm sure it'll be the same way when i'm at emory in the fall</p>
<p>Emory does have a TASA (Taiwanese ... Assoc.) , KUSA (Korean undergrad stud assoc), ECSA (Emory Chinese stud assoc.) and other clubs like ICE (Indian Cult exchange), PSA (Pakistani student assoc), etc etc. Size of those clubs... I think it goes ICE > KUSA > PSA > ECSA > TASA
There are also minor associations that are less active such as the LSA (latino student assoc), SSEA (singapore student emory alliance?), KISEM (korean international student...??) and others I have not heard of.</p>
