<p>I would argue that ND’s nationally representative student body is more diverse than most state universities. State U might have a higher percentage of “students of color” but when the majority of the population has lived in the same state their entire lives, there simply will not be much true diversity, regardless of skin color.</p>
<p>Also, my impression from being on campuses is that many small LAC are far less tolerant of students with strong religious convictions than ND is of non-Catholics.</p>
<p>I guess it all depends on how you define “diversity”.</p>
