May 14, 2006 (Press Release) --
7. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Cambridge, Massachusetts)
While some students assert that "nearly all students at MIT are nerds," we're inclined to believe the MIT student who tells us the following: "We have jocks/frat boys (who are really nerds inside), sorority girls (also nerds inside), theater people (nerds), artists (nerds), athletes (nerds), and even outright, full-on nerds." This diverse population includes "a very large number of people of Asian or Indian descent."
Students who considered MIT also looked at California Institute of Technology, Carnegie Mellon University, Dartmouth College, and University of California-Berkeley.
8. Wellesley College (Wellesley, Massachusetts)
Wellesley women love "the incredible diversity of the school, including (but not limited to) ethnicity, socioeconomic class, sexual orientation, and race." One student notes, "Women come from all over the world and the country. My roommate is from Florida, my best friend is from Chicago, a girl down the hall is from Thailand, another from South Africa."
Students who considered Wellesley also looked at Boston University, Bryn Mawr College, Wesleyan University, and Williams College.
9. Agnes Scott College (Atlanta/Decatur, Georgia)
Agnes Scott's population, students adamantly tell us, "is very diverse when it comes to religions, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, and cultural background. No two students are alike. This is what makes the campus interesting." As one student puts it, "We have everything from debutantes who wash their hair with bottled water to anime junkies to militant hippies. But everyone seems to work nicely together."
Students who considered Agnes Scott also looked at Clemson University, College of Charleston, Oglethorpe University, and Sweet Briar College.
10. University of Maryland-Baltimore County (Baltimore, Maryland)
"There is a lot of diversity at UMBC, which is good," students tell us. Most communication among different groups occurs in the classroom, allowing students to "learn so much about other cultures and ethnicities. It's an experience and understanding I could not have gotten elsewhere."
Students who considered University of Maryland also looked at American University, Johns Hopkins University, Loyola College in Maryland, and Towson University.
