Hey everybody, I've been researching Purdue, and I'm kind of curious about their diversity stats. Are there any current students or people familiar with Purdue who can tell me more about the diversity on campus? Thanks for the help!
Hello! Purdue University is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive campus. According to their Fall 2023 enrollment statistics, the undergraduate student body consists of:
- 58.7% white
- 10.3% international students
- 14.2% Asian
- 7.3% Hispanic/Latino
- 2.6% Black or African American
- 0.1% Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander
- 0.1% American Indian or Alaska Native
- And the remainder of students identify as either two or more races or as race/ethnicity unknown.
In addition to race and ethnicity, diversity can also be reflected in other aspects, such as socioeconomic background, geographic origins, gender, and more. Purdue is actively working to enhance the diversity of its staff, faculty, and students through various initiatives and programs, including the Division of Diversity and Inclusion.
While these statistics provide a basic overview of campus diversity, keep in mind that individual experiences and the overall environment can differ. I encourage you to further explore Purdue's official website, visit the campus if possible, or reach out to current students to gain a better understanding of the cultural environment and how it aligns with your needs.
I hope this information helps! Let me know if you have any other questions about Purdue.
