UC's; almost all campuses have asian majority (not > 50%) but as the most number.

The UC's by far.
I think they are a close majority at UC Berkeley.

I hear UCLA and UCSB have many as well.

^^^^ mrchipmunk90 got it right: pretty much any good school these days will have a large Asian student population. Here's a link to the data:

"pretty much any good school these days will have a large Asian student population."

True only if you define large as a number exceeding their proportional demographics. But, especially if you add a qualifier to good as in "good with a reputation for prestige."

Great schools that are not seen as prestigious or synonymous with great potential for easy riches do not attract great number of Asians. Except for California, one could easily track the correlation between Asian population at schools and the ... USNews ranking.

UC Irvine probably has the highest Asian population in the entire country. Asians actually outnumber white students at UCI at over 50%.

Most well known colleges have Asian population over 10%. I'm Korean and given that the Asian population in the entire country is about 4%, I would be happy at that percentage. Being the only Asian girl in the school would be pretty interesting too.
