I'm a junior in high school and starting my college search. One of the factors I'm considering is the diversity of the student body. Does anyone know a reliable source where I can find up-to-date statistics about diversity at various colleges?
A great resource to find diversity statistics for colleges is the College Navigator tool provided by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). By searching for a specific college, you can see detailed demographic breakdowns, including race and ethnicity, gender, and other diversity statistics.
Also, consider visiting the individual college's website and checking their "Common Data Set" or "Institutional Research" pages. These pages often contain comprehensive data about the student body, including race/ethnicity, international students, and more.
Finally, you can use college ranking websites such as U.S. News and World Report or The Princeton Review, which include lists of the most diverse colleges in the United States. These rankings can provide a snapshot of which schools prioritize and achieve diversity, but always cross-check with the other sources I mentioned for a deeper understanding of the numbers behind the rankings.
