Universities With A Lot of Diversity

<p>Long story short - I went to Montessori for 4 years with many foreigners, then "regular school" for 5 years and now I am in my 7th year of IB where 30% of our class are foreigners. I have also studied/lived abroad for 2 straight summers.</p>

<p>Obviously, I enjoy a VERY diverse group of people and learn so much from them and their cultures. I would very much like to continue being an environmnet that offers diversity and would find it hard to go to a school that lacks it.</p>

<p>Which schools have a large percentage of foreigners (not minorites or Asians)? </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Thanks - I have not heard of some of those schools. Are some of those "safety" schools? What about Georgetown University - a lot of diversity? One major turnoff with schools claiming to foster diversity is that the foreign students tend to hang around other students from the same country. Even at UVA, the African Americans tend to stick together. I would love to go to a school that does not have 'groups'.</p>

<p>Baruch has the most diversified student body in the nation.</p>

5

<p>What I find is that the more "diverse" the population is, the more likely the same backgrounds will form groups. So it's hard to find both.</p>

6

<p>Yeah, diversity is retarded.</p>

7

<p>Macalester is pretty popular with foreigners, so you'll find a diverse population of other cultures that aren't attached with "-American"</p>

<p>Hahahahahahahahaha, you are killing me.</p>

<p>I think Rice University is diverse, but not in terms of international students.</p>

10

<p>Are you looking for economic diversity, racial diversity, or international diversity?</p>

11

<p>All of it !</p>

12

<p>georgetown diverse? I find that humorus too. Nothing against GT, but they are pretty darn homogenuous</p>

13

<p>I liked Cornell, farmers, lawyers, government leaders, doctors and scientists send their kids from every continent, even Superman went there. The blend of private and public schools creates a great mix. Engineers, siting next to Hotel majors waiting for a hockey game to start.</p>

14

<p>Our kids have had a few friends who've attended universities that were not very diverse, but these friends chose to live in their university's international dorms. It's a good way to find diversity on a campus with an overall homogenous student body.</p>

15

<p>look into clark university in worcester, mass</p>

16

<p>Although I can't say Superman went to my school, I'd consider Tufts to be pretty diverse.</p>

17

<p>Clark has 7% International students and is known to have more diversity with Internationals than in our country,Others are 4% Indian, 3% black, 3% Hispanic.</p>

18

<p>cornell being diverse is a joke?</p>

19

<p>worldshopper, you need to visit McGill University in Montreal. I think there are over 140 countries represented among the student body. Plus, as an "American" you will be in a minority of about 10%.</p>

<p>In the US, Manhattanville has large international student body.</p>

<p>That sounds great but I cannot afford to go to school in Canada. I will check out the other one though.</p>
