Santa Clara University's diversity situation?

I want to attend a college with a diverse student body and I'm considering Santa Clara University. Does anyone know how diverse the campus is? Any info regarding racial, ethnic, regional, and international diversity would be great.

Santa Clara University (SCU) values diversity and inclusion, and while it may not be among the most diverse universities in the United States, it does have a fairly diverse student body. According to the university's recent undergraduate student demographic data, the ethnic and racial diversity is as follows:

- White: 35%

- Hispanic/Latina/o: 18%

- Asian: 21%

- African American/Black: 3%

- Two or more races: 8%

It's also worth noting that the geographical distribution of students varies, attracting both local California residents and students from across the United States. SCU has a strong international presence, with students representing over 28 countries.

Overall, while SCU still has room for improvement in terms of diversity, their efforts to provide diverse experiences are evident. Students can join numerous clubs and organizations that celebrate cultural, racial, as well as regional differences, which can help facilitate a more inclusive campus environment. Keep in mind that attending a university is about finding the right fit for your needs, interests, and values; so it's essential to consider diversity along with other factors such as academics, extracurricular activities, and campus life when deciding on a school.
