<p>6% of WUSTL are international, compared to 2% of UNC students. Since UNC is three times larger than WUSTL, in terms of absolute numbers, both have roughly the same number of international students (350 or so). </p>
<p>I do not see why an international student should care whether 80% or 20% of the students are residents of the state. UNC students tend to be as friendly, welcoming and approachable as they come. </p>
<p>In terms of the racial makeup of the student bodies, both are primarily white (70% at WUSTL and 75% at UNC). 14% of WUSTL are Asian American, compared to 7% at UNC while 10% are African American at both schools. </p>
<p>I would visit both schools before making such a major decision.</p>
