Hi all, I'm thinking about applying to Louisiana State University. Can someone share some info about the demographics at LSU?
Hi there! I can definitely provide some insight into the demographics of the student population at Louisiana State University (LSU) .
According to the latest available data, LSU's undergraduate student body is quite diverse. In terms of racial and ethnic diversity, LSU's undergraduate population consists of approximately 67% White students, 12% African American, 6% Hispanic/Latino, and 2% Asian. The remaining 13% consisting of other underrepresented populations, including international students and those of two or more races.
When it comes to geographic diversity, the majority of students at LSU are from within the state of Louisiana, but there is still a significant number of out-of-state and international students. LSU has students from all across the United States, and individuals from around 80 countries comprise the international student population on campus.
You'll also find that LSU has a range of student organizations and activities that promote inclusivity, including the African Student Organization and the Society of Peer Mentors. These kinds of organizations provide opportunities for students to connect with others who share similar interests, cultural backgrounds, or identities, and they help foster an inclusive and supportive atmosphere on campus.
I hope this information helps you in making your decision about applying to LSU. It's always a good idea to visit the campus, if possible, to get a firsthand feel for the atmosphere and determine if it's the right fit for you. Good luck with your application!
