Hey y'all, I've been considering University of Texas at Austin for a while and was wondering what the student demographics there are like. How diverse is it? What are the in-state vs out-of-state ratios? Any information is welcome. Thanks!
The University of Texas at Austin, also known as UT Austin, has a very diverse student body, encompassing a wide variety of backgrounds, ethnicities, and nationalities.
As per the latest available data, here's a broad breakdown of the racial and ethnic demographics at UT Austin:
- Approximately 33% of the students identify as White.
- About 25% of the students identify as Hispanic.
- Around 22% of the students identify as Asian.
- Roughly 5% of the students are Black or African American.
In regard to your question about in-state versus out-of-state students, UT Austin has a higher proportion of in-state students. About 90% of the students are residents of Texas, with the remaining 10% coming from out-of-state or internationally. So, while there's a strong representation of students from Texas, there's also a fair share of perspectives from across the country and around the world.
Please note that these figures are approximations and can vary slightly from year to year. I hope this gives you a starting point to understand the demographic breakdown at UT Austin!
