May 14, 2006 (Press Release) --
4. Mount Holyoke College (South Hadley, Massachusetts)
Mount Holyoke women "fall into all sorts of categories, whether it be because of their style in clothing, what they like to do outside of the classroom, or sexual orientation." Students feel that a "large international population also provides for a very diverse atmosphere," as does the sizable lesbian contingent.
Students who considered Mount Holyoke also looked at Bard College, Connecticut College, New York University, and Smith College.
5. Stanford University (Stanford, California)
Stanford "does a good job of keeping its student body diverse" and "ethnic centers are very active," although most students point to "class, racial, and ethnic divisions." "I feel as though ethnic groups are highly segregated," opines one student, while another explains, "Though it is easy to meet people from different backgrounds, there is a certain tendency to form cliques. One must actively set out to interact in order to make the most of this diversity."
Students who considered Stanford also looked at Columbia University, Duke University, Princeton University, and University of Pennsylvania.
6. State University of New York at Buffalo (Buffalo, New York)
The student body at UB is extremely diverse. Writes one, "People here are so different than [who] I knew in high school--there are hippies, computer obsessives, musicians, Republicans, card players, and artists." Adds another, "You have every kind of student here. You have lazy ones who just want to get drunk and high. You have the hardworking kids who are going to Harvard for grad school. You have upper-middle-class kids, and you have kids who are dirt poor. With ethnicity, you have a model UN when it comes to UB."
Students who considered SUNY-Buffalo also looked at Boston University, SUNY-Albany, SUNY College at Geneseo, and Syracuse University.
