<p>diversity…</p>
<p>i came from a hs that was 60% african american so to me, vassar is definitely lacking in racial diversity. in that department, vassar makes a big effort to increase the number of students of color each year and they do a good job at this, but the numbers are still nowhere near where they should be. you can find the exact racial breakdown of the school somewhere online. however, this breakdown is very consistant in many LACs, none are outrageously racially diverse. vassar has a large asian community and fairly sizeable hispanic community though. the african american community continues to be less than 10% of campus</p>
<p>however, vassar has a lot of diversity in other ways, which makes up partially for this. i have never met such interesting people with such passionate, yet different interests. there is also a lot of geographic diversity here which really gives the campus a global feel. </p>
<p>to sum it up…racial diversity on campus leaves a bit to be desired. but diversity in other senses of the word is definitely present on campus.</p>
