<p>so 40+% of stanfordites are californians? How does diversity at stanford compare to other schools, say, Yale?</p>
<p>What do you mean? In terms of raw geographic diversity, sure, Yale probably has a better mix…but it’s not like all Californians are the same, either. (We’ve got so much geographic diversity WITHIN the state that we might as well be two or three different states…)</p>
<p>There is more racial and social-economic diversity at Stanford than there is at Yale and the rest of the ivies.</p>
<p>Is there a lot of interaction between people of different races and socioeconomic backgrounds, or do minorities tend to socially segregate themselves?</p>
<p>how about international representation?</p>
<p>California is as large as New England and the Mid Atlantic States combined. Show me an Ivy League school that doesn’t drawn 40% of its students from New England plus the Mid-Atlantic states.</p>
<p>Don’t assume that the mere fact that students from Eureka and San Diego share a governor means that they don’t contribute to a diverse student body.</p>
