<p>And perhaps some percentages of different races, religions at different schools. Thanks!</p>

<p>I found that sheer size of my state university alma mater was enough to find me lots of fellow students of every which ethnic or religious background.</p>
<p>In general, larger schools will have more diversity, but as to smaller schools…the ones that come to mind are Wesleyan and Swarthmore, yeah.</p>
<p>And I should note for the OP that there are no official figures on religious diversity: that’s not a federal data tracking category, and such information isn’t included in Common Data Set reporting. But you can look around a college’s list of student organizations to see which religious organizations appear on campus: again, at my state university alma mater, you could join groups affiliated with most religions on earth, if that interested you.</p>
<p>isnt Penn anywhere on the list??</p>
<p>If you’re looking because you need statistics, you’re on the right track. If you’re looking because you yourself would like a diverse campus, then stats are a good jumping off point, but another helpful source will be Princeton Review’s lists of Little/Lots of Race/Class Interaction. These are hardly exhaustive or inarguable lists, and of course they’ll change year to year (so try to find info for multiple years), but the info, when taken with a healthy dose of salt, can still be meaningful. Here are the 2008 lists:</p>

<p>ETA: Most schools’ websites will give % racial breakdowns.</p>
<p>Interesting that Texas Woman’s would be on the list…I guess it may be racially diverse, but the student body is 93% female.</p>
<p>@ jkjkjkj</p>
<p>You will find that many of the elite private universities on average are more interactive and diverse (depends on how you define it) than your local state university (states like California might be the exception). The UCs used to be very diverse until Proposition 201 which banned affirmative action passed many years ago. The numbers are slowly coming back though.</p>
<p>look at BYU or Bob jones- great diversity. they are said to have 22% native american, 38% hispanic, and 14% pacific islander as well as 4% from bakina faasur</p>
<p>My dad went to Bob Jones in the early 50s. They didn’t admit African-Americans, but that was quite common (and legal, I suppose) in the South at the time. However, the student body was VERY diverse…lots of very darked skinned students from India, students from China, etc. Every year they would have “date night” where, unless a student was married or engaged, male and female students were paired up (by someone in the school administration) to go on a date (to a school play, I believe). Dad had one date with an Indian girl and another with a Chinese girl. Pretty interesting in light of their later racial policies.</p>
<p>Binghamton has a lot of diversity, idk why it’s on the little diversity list.</p>
<p>MODERATOR’S NOTE: ad-hominem comment deleted</p>
<p>Wneckid99. Does your dad log into public forums to ask personal questions that he has no right to ask? Do you?</p>
<p>Columbia University is the most diverse Ivy. According to CB:</p>
<pre><code>* 1% American Indian/Alaskan Native
- 14% Asian/Pacific Islander
- 11% Black/Non-Hispanic
- 13% Hispanic
- 42% White/Non-Hispanic
- 8% Non-Resident Alien
- 11% Race/ethnicity unreported
</code></pre>
<p>I don’t know for a fact about their religious diversity, however Columbia admitted a lot of Jews during the early 20th century when the other Ivies were not admitting them, and as a result has produced as many Nobel laureates as Harvard and Oxford. Things like “Harvard men” were created specifically to keep Jews out.</p>
<p>Below is the race breakdown for the USNWR Top 30 National Universities as measured by % of Asians, Blacks, and Hispanics on each campus. You will notice that 5 of the first 7 are California colleges and also MIT and Rice. As a group, the technical colleges have the highest percentages and only one college falls below 20% (Wake Forest).</p>

<p>What does “total” mean in this list?</p>
<p>46+4+12 “totals” 62% minority enrollment
etc.
etc.</p>
<p>Obviously, when whatever is not included in the total is a smaller number than the numbers included in the total (38% is less than 46%) I’d be hard pressed to call the 62% “minority” enrollment. Perhaps you meant non-white? I think the minority/majority labels only work when some class, or in this case, race, is over 50%.</p>
<p>One cool thing about the UCs is of the 8 campuses 5 of their entering freshman classes did not have a majority of any race.</p>
<p>Don’t forget the “decline to state” applicants! But I guess we’ll never know who they are. …unless the colleges survey their students when they arrive in Sept. perhaps. (I assume the numbers ^ come from applications).</p>
<p>I will concede that there are holes in the “diversity” data as each school has sizable percentages that declined to state their ethnicity. My understanding is that the numbers come from the CDS data which discloses the enrollment breakdown by ethnicity. This data is given to collegeboard.com which is where I got the data. I also did not include the American Indian/Eskimo category as the numbers here are quite small, but it should be recognized that Dartmouth has a 4% weighting in this group. </p>
<p>In looking at the sub data for each category, it looks like the Asian percentages are the big swing factor for those colleges at the top and bottom of the list. Part of this is undoubtedly due to state/regional demographics, eg, large numbers of Asians in California and relatively few in the Southeast. For Asian students, this may create an application advantage in applying to colleges like U North Carolina, Vanderbilt, Notre Dame, and Wake Forest which all have comparatively smaller numbers. </p>
<p>It was also interesting to look at the numbers for black students. As this is the category most often associated with affirmative action programs, it was interesting to see relatively a relatively tight distribution. The same was also true for Hispanic students.</p>
