Hey everyone, I'm trying to get a sense of the diversity at UConn. I think it would be cool to go to a school with a diverse student body. Does anyone have info on the racial and ethnic diversity at UConn?
Sure, I can provide you with some information on the racial and ethnic diversity at the University of Connecticut (UConn). Based on the most recent available data, the breakdown of undergraduate students by race and ethnicity is about as follows:
- White: 57.7%
- Hispanic/Latino: 16.2%
- Asian: 10.7%
- Black/African American: 7.2%
- Two or more races: 4.9%
- Nonresident Alien: 2.9%
- Unknown: 0.5%
- American Indian or Alaska Native: 0.2%
- Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander: 0.1%
UConn has a fairly diverse student body, and these statistics show a good representation of various racial and ethnic backgrounds. As you consider UConn, also keep in mind that diversity extends beyond race and ethnicity. Campus diversity also includes factors like socio-economic backgrounds, geographic origins, and cultural experiences.
To get a true feel for the diversity and campus culture at UConn, consider attending a campus tour or joining a virtual information session to learn more about what life is like for students there. Perception of diversity can be subjective, after all!
