Quick Stats

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Technically, 105 nations are represented in DU’s student body, but it seems international students are few and far between. DU could stand to see more diversity on its campus in terms of race, socioeconomic status, sexual preference, religion, and political activity. Take a quick look around campus, and most likely, you’ll see a bunch of white, middle- to upper-class students who, generally speaking, don’t seem to care too much about politics or religion. However, the past few years have seen more international students drawn to DU because of the school’s several international programs and the Lamont School of Music. It takes deliberate effort to meet international students, but the effort is well worth it. Seek out activities sponsored by international and other diversity organizations, get involved, and meet new people. Diverse people are on campus; you just have to find them.

The wide variety of student organizations provide a haven for members of minority groups to convene, so it’s not as if minorities feel overwhelmed and alienated on a predominantly majority campus. Also, DU’s administration is aware of the void of diversity on campus, and several plans are being discussed to help alleviate the problem.

We Try for Diversity

DU has a couple of diverse people on campus, however you rarely see the diverse population. Our goal at DU is to have a diverse student population, but it just isn't present. We have a huge international student population that creates some diversity within the Asian culture. When walking around campus, you really only see white students. In the future, I'm sure DU will be a much more diverse school.

"Very Diverse"

DU keeps saying that they are so diverse. It is mainly white rich kids that go to this school. There are many international students however, but they tend to stick to themselves.

Inclusive Excellence

DU lives and breathes "Inclusive Excellence" meaning wherever a student comes from, he/she will have the opportunity to succeed and grow at DU. This is entirely true. We have an increasing number of racially diverse students on campus - if that's your measure of diversity - but it's not stressed on campus. Everyone finds their niche very easily and there is never a lack of stimulating conversation between different ideas and values between students.
