Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

If you have ever dreamed of making friends from all around the world, look no further than Baruch. The College has been ranked one of the most ethnically diverse in the nation. A common perception about Baruch is that it's a business school with many students of Asian and Russian descent. While there's some substance to these claims—more than 1,200 students speak Chinese, and 900 are fluent in Russian—there are also more than 1,100 Spanish speakers. In terms of economic diversity, Baruch is best known for its Zicklin School of Business, where tuition is much lower than what you'd pay at many other business school. The College's affordability, together with its reputation, attracts a lot of working and middle-class individuals, including more than 1,000 international students. In terms of political views, there seems to be plenty of liberals and conservatives at Baruch. Baruchians take advantage of the campus diversity.

There are more than a hundred ethnic, religious, professional, and other clubs where admission is nondiscriminatory. Some of these clubs are dedicated to empowering and connecting minority students and are places where many students form social bonds. The bottom line about Baruch's diversity is there's always a chance to meet someone with whom you have something in common. As on any highly populated and diverse campus, you'll sometimes hear allegations of bias and prejudice, but there is always a way to voice concern and make a change.

Baruch is diverse. We have Asians (a lot of them), hispanics, whites, blacks etc. However, there is more Asians than any other race. I feel to really notice ow diverse the school is you have to go to the club area and you are abe to see the segregation there is.

Everyone and Every Culture

Asians do sort of predominate, as we make up possibly the largest ethnic group at Baruch. However, there's really a very good smattering of diversity overall, since it's New York City and most kids who go to a CUNY school are from NYC anyways. Plenty of whites, hispanics, europeans...african americans are a little less common but definitely around. Very accepting school in terms of racial profiling, sexual orientation, religion...pretty much everything. You won't find problems fitting in here, but since it's a commuter college, you may find problems finding people with enough time to hang out.

The Melting Pot of Colleges

If New York is the most diverse state in the U.S., Baruch is the most diverse college. During a typical day, you will run into people from all over the world. The fact that people can bring in their cultures knowing that they will be accepted by everyone makes going to college a lot more desirable.
