Hello, I’m a future international student and I’m very divided between 2 schools I’ve been accepted to. I wanted to know some pros and cons of each schools or opinions to which I should choose. I don’t care just about academics, but also where it’s easier to make friends and more accepting towards international students.
Thank you
According to www.collegedata.com, the demographics of the two schools vary somewhat:
UF
Ethnicity of Students from U.S.
0.2% American Indian/Alaskan Native
7.9% Asian
6.5% Black/African-American
21.0% Hispanic/Latino
3.0% Multi-race (not Hispanic/Latino)
0.5% Native Hawaiian/ Pacific Islander
58.1% White
2.8% Unknown
International Students 1.3% from 133 countries
UT
Ethnicity of Students from U.S.
0.2% American Indian/Alaskan Native
21.0% Asian
4.4% Black/African-American
23.4% Hispanic/Latino
3.7% Multi-race (not Hispanic/Latino)
0.2% Native Hawaiian/ Pacific Islander
46.5% White
0.7% Unknown
International Students 4.7% from 95 countries
UT has more than twice the number of Americans of Asian ethnicity than UF. UT also has many more international students.
Both schools have significant amounts of Hispanic/Latino students, but at UT they will generally be from Mexican origin while at UF they will more likely be from Caribbean or South American origin.
