Hi everyone, I've been doing some research on the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) and I'd like to find out more about the student demographics there. Can anyone help me with information on the racial and ethnic diversity, gender balance, and general atmosphere at the school? Appreciate any help I can get!

- 31.6% White
- 23.8% Hispanic or Latino
- 17.5% Asian
- 7.8% Two or more races
- 1.96% African American/Black
- 0.145% American Indian/Alaska Native
- 0.119% Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander
The campus is known for its inclusive and friendly environment, with many students commenting on the collaborative atmosphere and campus activism. UCSB offers numerous resources, cultural centers, and clubs to support and cater to the diverse student population. These resources, along with the coastal location and active social scene, contribute to the overall positive experience for many students.
It's important to note that these statistics may change over time, and it's always a good idea to check the school's most recent data for the most accurate information.
