<p>random observation:</p>
<p>UCSB - ~50% white, and the other 50% is actually pretty diverse in terms of various races.</p>
<p>UCI - ~50% asian, and the other 50% is actually pretty diverse in terms of various races.</p>
<p>just wanted to get some thoughts about UCI. I hear it is a great school, but no one seems to know the name. Davis has much more name recognition at least with the general California population, but what about adcoms at grad schools. UCI>UCD on the national university list, but by how much.</p>
<p>oh, and for those of you trying to count cars when going to UC’s, if you go to UCSD, count how many scion TC’s you see. We were up to in the 50’s. Pretty popular car down there I guess.</p>
<p>I applied to the UCs SB, LA, SC, and B, and Stanford.</p>
<p>UCSB left a much better taste in my mouth than I was expecting. UCLA has a better name for Comp Sci, but I really want to get out of SoCal, so UCSB is a strong contender.</p>
<p>I’d say it was more like 55% white, 24% Asian, 20% Hispanic. I’m not exaggerating-- I saw more midgets than I did black people.</p>
<p>Granted, I was only there five hours, and the people I saw weren’t current students, they were either new admittees, or prospective students. But that begs the question: why then are so few minorities applying to UCSB? I worry that might be indicative of a bigger problem.</p>
<p>i dont know, that could either hint to 1) the school is racist or 2) minorities want to succeed and apply to harder-to-get-into schools.</p>
<p>If you are really interested in the enrollment numbers by race, look at the exact numbers. This link will give you enrollment by race, major, campus, basically anything you ever wanted to see. </p>

<p>Coast: Same here, I got into SD and Irvine. Still waiting for LA. But UCSB the second on my list if I don’t get into UCLA. After visiting the school yesterday, I fell in love with it.</p>
<p>Yeah I went there a couple of months ago to check out the campus. I stayed overnight in isla vista with a friend of mine who goes there. We partied 'til the sun came up and it was on a tuesday night. lol. After 3 years of nothing but lame commuting to and from a CC, I’m ready to live on campus at the university I transfer to and have a good time.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>hahahah it’s actually closer to like ~70%… hahah</p>
<p>Coast:</p>
<p>My man we share the same mentality. I been working hard for three years and I want to change things around abit at UCLA…that is if i get accepted.</p>
<p>By the way, you know how roomates are matched at UCLA?</p>
<p>Everyone,</p>
<p>Please post here how every school matches thier roommates. For example, is it according to race? age? and what not. </p>
<p>UCSB= ?
UCI= ?
UCLA=random mixing I believe
Cal= ?
UCSC=?
UCD= ?
UCSD= ?</p>
<p>if you don’t pick your roommates, UCLA does it by race</p>
<p>lostincode, could you be a bit specific? I don’t get it, so as a transfer student; you have the option to choose your roommates? How does it work?</p>
<p>BLACK on BLACK, white on white? YELLOW on yellow? I think thats what he means</p>
<p>As far as I know, housing assignments at UCLA are random. </p>

<p>I know but I was wondering about HOW you can choose your own roommates…you see a list of names or races or what? please post if you guys know anything about other Schools. This way, you can easily tell which school is really DIVERSE!</p>
<p>cobig is right</p>
<p>also, you can tell housing who you want your roommates to be… but there must be mutual requests</p>
<p>
not really…</p>
<p>I cannot imagine any school is pairing roomates based on race. Education is supposed to break down racial divide. I highly doubt they pair you by race… That sounds totally unlikely. </p>
<p>And seriously, if you are really interested in the diversity of a school, look at the enrollment figures. </p>
<p>Just by observation you would think that UCI is 100% Asian, but if you look at the numbers its not.</p>
<p>verdet:</p>
<p>I agree. I want the school to be one together by all races. </p>
<p>Unfortunately, UCSD matches (or it seems like it matches) roommates by race. I have observed this.</p>
<p>Don’t all colleges release statistics that show the race breakdown? Wouldn’t that be the best way to gauge diversity?</p>
<p>Hmmm, UCSB’s undergrad racial profile isn’t too far off from what I guessed. Ah, I don’t care for rap music anyway…</p>
<p>(I kid, I kid!)</p>
