<p>My son is a WashU freshman (from NJ), and has told me that there is a relatively large Asian population at WashU, split between Asian-Americans and internationals.</p>
<p>UNC is a great school. And if you were an instate NC student who would get instate tuition, it would be a great option.</p>
<p>But for an international student, I would recommend WashU. UNC has a very high percentage of instate students (80%), as it is really difficult to get accepted from out-of-state. WashU on the other hand is only 10% instate, although that is probably a bit lower than the true feel as Chicago-area students are out-of-state, but nearby. Still, WashU clearly has much more US-wide geographic diversity, and probably international diversity as well, although I don’t have statistics for that.</p>
