Duke's Racial Demographics?

I've been looking at Duke but I wanted to make sure I'm applying to a diverse campus. Can anyone give me information on the racial demographics of Duke University?

Certainly. As of the most recent data available, the racial demographics at Duke University are quite mixed. Here is some of the data:

- White (Non-Hispanic): Approximately 37%

- Asian: Around 21%

- Hispanic: About 9%

- African American: Roughly 10%

- Two or more races (Non-Hispanic): Almost 5%

- Unknown/Unreported: About 4%

Additionally, there are about 12% of students who are Nonresident Alien, which includes international students.

This information paints a picture of a very diverse student body at Duke University. While White and Asian students make up the majority, there's also a noteworthy representation of Hispanic and African American students, not to mention international students.

However, it's important to remember that diversity isn't solely about racial or ethnic composition. Diversity can also encompass many other areas such as socioeconomic class, geographical location, gender identity, religious beliefs, and more. It's important to consider all these aspects when looking for a diverse campus.

To get a better understanding of the campus culture and diversity at Duke, you might want to reach out to current students or alumni, or even attend virtual or on-campus events if possible. This will provide you with firsthand information that could better inform your decision.
