<p>Question says it all =]</p>

<p>Sorry, it doesn’t say anything. There are all kinds of diversity. Economic, racial, geographic, etc. You are probably looking for something specific that someone else might not consider diverse. So you should specify what exactly you are looking for, and people can give you real advice.</p>

<p>diversity can mean racial, in which case do you include Asians under “minorities”?</p>

<p>it can mean international students</p>

<p>both of the above are available from the IPEDS website</p>

<p>oh, i meant racial diversity. and those schools with the greatest number of international students.</p>

<p>Regarding international students, see this thread:</p>

<p>USC has lots of internationals.</p>

9

<p>the lists were helpful, thanks =) </p>

<p>but I’m kinda surprised NYU wasn’t really on there.</p>

10

<p>

Hmmm…then how come USC is at the bottom of this list?</p>

<p>

</p>

11

<p>How do you define “more diverse”? At what point does “more diverse” start to become “less diverse”?</p>

12

<p>hmmmm
I double checked USC in the IPEDS data and found that it is about 8-9% international students at the undergrad level. First-year students are also about 9%.</p>

<p>I think I originally posted the above data. I’ll try to figure out the reason for the discrepancy.</p>

13

<p>Thanks for making that correction. USC regularly has the largest enrollment of international students in the US. Haha, that list had 2 people. There were more international people in my own suite.</p>
